Effect of TiC Content on Fracture Toughness of TiC-Ti5Si3 Composites

Abstract:

In-situ toughened TiC-Ti5Si3 composites were fabricated using reactive sintering of Ti and SiC via spark plasma sintering (SPS). The focus of this work on the content of TiC in final composites was different. The phase constituents and microstructures of the samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fracture toughness at room temperature was also measured by indentation tests. The results showed that the corporation of TiC greatly enhances the fracture toughness of TiC-Ti5Si3 composites.
