L1 2 -(Al, Cr) 3 Ti/Ti 2 AlC composites have been prepared by the reactive arc-melting technique using elemental powders of Ti, Al, Cr, and C. Resulting composites have been reinforced using 4.5, 9, and 18 vol%Ti 2 AlC in a matrix of L1 2 trialuminide Ti-61 mol%Al-13 mol%Cr alloy. The Ti 2 AlC particles having a rod-like morphology of 1.5 µm width and 5-20 µm in length were homogeneously dispersed in the matrix. The matrix grain size was reduced through addition of Ti 2 AlC particles. These composite materials have revealed higher mechanical properties (bending strength and fracture toughness) than that of the monolithic alloy. This improvement is attributed to the Ti 2 AlC particles dispersion and to the fine grain of the matrix.
