Characterization of Simultaneously Gas Atomized Ti/TiC Composite Powders

Article Preview

Abstract:

Metallic composite materials are mainly manufactured by powder metallurgy (PM) or casting, with reinforced ceramic particulates dispersed in a metal matrix. The current study presents an investigation with respect to simultaneously gas-atomized spherical Ti/TiC composite powders. Various analytical methods are used to characterize the gas-atomized Ti/TiC composite powders, including XRD, laser particle size analysis, flow rate tests, apparent density and tap density tests, SEM, and alike. The spherical Ti/TiC composite powders will be further laser sintered at the next stage to utilize mechanical properties testing.
