放电等离子烧结TiB/Ti-1.5Fe-2.25Mo复合材料的微观组织与力学性能

采用放电等离子烧结技术原位合成了TiB增强Ti?1.5Fe?2.25Mo复合材料，研究了烧结温度对复合材料微观组织和力学性能的影响规律。结果表明，随着烧结温度的升高，钛合金中 TiB 晶须的长细比迅速减小；然而，复合材料的相对密度及TiB的体积含量随着烧结温度的升高而不断增大。由于TiB晶须长细比的减小会导致复合材料强度的降低，而复合材料的相对密度及TiB体积含量的增大又会带来复合材料强度的增加，因此，在这两种因素的共同作用下，最终导致 TiB/Ti?1.5Fe?2.25Mo复合材料的弯曲强度随着烧结温度的升高而缓慢增大。在烧结温度为1150°C 时，TiB/Ti?1.5Fe?2.25Mo复合材料具有最大的弯曲强度1596 MPa。

Microstructure characteristics and mechanical properties of TiB/Ti-1.5Fe-2.25Mo composites synthesized in situ using SPS process

TiB/Ti-1.5Fe-2.25Mo composites were synthesized in situ using the spark plasma sintering (SPS) method at temperatures of 850-1150 °C. The effect of the sintering temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites was investigated. The results indicate that the aspect ratio of the in situ synthesized TiB whiskers in Ti alloy matrix decreases rapidly with an increase in sintering temperature. However, both the relative density of the sintered specimens and the volume content of TiB whiskers in composites increase with increasing sintering temperature. Thus, the bending strength of the composites synthesized using SPS process increases slowly with increasing the sintering temperature from 850 to 1150 °C. TiB/Ti-1.5Fe-2.25Mo composite synthesized at 1150 °C using SPS method exhibits the highest bending strength of 1596 MPa due to the formation of fine TiB whiskers in Ti alloy matrix and the dense microstructure of the composite.
