“…In situ Fe-TiB 2 composites have been fabricated using various methods, such as laser cladding [2,3], plasma transferred arc (PTA) [4,5], aluminothermic reduction [6], spark plasma sintering (SPS) [7], and self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) [8][9][10][11]. In our previous work [12], Fe-TiB 2 powder was synthesized in situ from an iron boride (FeB) and titanium hydride (TiH 2 ) powder mixture by planetary ball-milling and subsequent heat treatment.…”
