Abstract:In this study, fully densified Si3N4/TiAl composites were fabricated using the field-assisted sintering technique (FAST). Microstructural analysis showed the evolution of a continuous network structure consisting of minor fractions of in-situ formed Ti2AlN, unreacted Si3N4 ceramic particles and dominant Ti5Si3 intermetallic phases within the TiAl matrix at Si3N4 content above 1.5 wt%. The hardness of the developed composites increases with increasing Si3N4 content, with 7Si3N4/TiAl composite exhibiting the hig… Show more
