“…This phenomenon is also reported in other studies. Zhang et al [25] demonstrated that Ti/graphene composites form TiC particles with size ranging from 100 nm to 5 μm. Karthiselva and Bakshi [26] revealed that TiC rods with a diameter of 30 to 100 nm are formed in carbon nanotube-reinforced titanium diboride matrix composites.…”

Ti matrix composites reinforced with 1–5 wt% graphene oxide (GO) were prepared by hot-pressed sintering in argon atmosphere. The effect of sintering temperature on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the composite was also evaluated. The results show that TiC nanoparticles were formed in situ as interfacial products via the reaction between Ti and GO during sintering. With increases in GO content and sintering temperature, the amount of TiC increased, improving the mechanical properties of the composites. GO was also partly retained with a lamellar structure after sintering. The composite reinforced with 5 wt% GO exhibited a hardness of 457 HV, 48.4% higher than that of pure Ti at 1473 K. The Ti-2.5 wt% GO composite sintered at 1473 K achieved a maximum yield stress of 1294 MPa, which was 62.7 % higher than that of pure Ti. Further increasing the GO content to 5 wt% led to a slight decrease in yield stress owing to GO agglomeration. The fracture morphology of the composite reinforced with GO exhibited a quasi-cleavage fracture, whereas that of the pure Ti matrix showed a ductile fracture. The main strengthening mechanism included grain refinement, solution strengthening, and dispersion strengthening of TiC and GO.

“… A new powder-based process to produce TiC reinforced Titanium Matrix Composites  Ti spherical powders are pre-coated by graphite flakes as carbon sou neycomb-like cellular microstructure TiC 2 nd phase forms during in-situ reaction  Enhanced wear resistance due to the reinforcement of the TiC hard ph¨¢ creep resistance and wear resistance over Titanium alloys[1][2][3][4]. A selection of candidates for TMC reinforcements have already been investigated including SiC, Si 3 N 4 , Al 2 O 3 , TiC, TiN, and TiB[5][6][7][8][9][10]. Amongst these reinforcements, TiB and TiC exhibit outstanding chemical stability…”

Titanium carbide (TiC) reinforced Titanium Matrix Composites (TMCs) have been synthesized via an in-situ reactive spark plasma sintering (SPS) process using commercial Ti-6Al-4V spherical powders pre-coated with 1 wt.% carbon nanoparticles by low-energy ball milling. Graphite flakes are used as carbon source, which aids powder flow during mixing as lubricant. Graphite transforms to nano-crystallite carbon during mixing which is favourable for the rapid formation of TiC second phase in the following SPS process. The composites exhibited a novel honeycomb-like cellular microstructure with the formation of 5-6 vol.% fine TiC submicron grains interconnected in the titanium / matrix. In addition, the reinforcement of the TiC phase with a nano-hardness of 12.4 GPa, improves the wear resistance of the parent alloy matrix (5.1 GPa), with a reduction of 26-28 % in wear rate during dry reciprocating sliding tests against Si3N4 balls. During sliding, the wear debris (predominantly anatase TiO2) builds up on the raised TiC hard phase forming a barrier layer of adhered oxide that can protect the alloy matrix underneath from abrasion and oxidation, leading to a reduced wear rate.

“…Similar strengthening effect was also reported for carbon [ 30 ]. Additionally, the occurrence of the TiC precipitations in Ti/TiC composites typically resulted in very high YS, e.g., Zhang et al [ 31 ] showed the increase of YS from an initial 1100–1700 MPa in the case of sintered Ti containing 3 vol.% of TiC (formed during the sintering of Ti powder with graphene). On the other hand, YS higher than 1000 MPa were typically registered for the Ti-Nb-based alloys obtained by the powder metallurgy [ 16 , 17 , 32 ].…”

Effect of Mo and Ta on the Mechanical and Superelastic Properties of Ti-Nb Alloys Prepared by Mechanical Alloying and Spark Plasma Sintering

et al. 2021

The effect of ternary alloying elements (Mo and Ta) on the mechanical and superelastic properties of binary Ti-14Nb alloy fabricated by the mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering was investigated. The materials were prepared in two ways: (i) by substituting Nb in base Ti-14Nb alloy by 2 at.% of the ternary addition, giving the following compositions: Ti-8Nb-2Mo and Ti-12Nb-2Ta and (ii) by adding 2 at.% of the ternary element to the base alloy. The microstructures of the materials consisted of the equiaxed β-grains and fine precipitations of TiC. The substitution of Nb by both Mo and Ta did not significantly affect the mechanical properties of the base Ti-14Nb alloy, however, their addition resulted in a decrease of yield strength and increase of plasticity. This was associated with the occurrence of the {332} <113> twinning that was found during the in-situ observations. The elevated concentration of interstitial elements (oxygen and carbon) lead to the occurrence of stress-induced martensitic transformation and twinning mechanisms at lower concentration of β-stabilizers in comparison to the conventionally fabricated materials. The substitution of Nb by Mo, and Ta caused the slight improvement of the superelastic properties of the base Ti-14Nb alloy, whereas their addition deteriorated the superelasticity.
