Abstract:

The trade-off between strength and toughness remains a major challenge in structural materials engineering, especially for titanium-based materials. This study explores the potential of titanium-based laminates for lightweight armor, aimed at improving anti-ballistic properties through the use of layered structures. Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) was combined with metal matrix composites (MMCs) reinforced with TiC or TiB particles (up to 40 vol%) using two powder metallurgy (PM) techniques. The first approach used press-and-sinter blended elemental powder metallurgy (BEPM) to create the laminates in a single step, while the second involved post-processing via hot isostatic pressing (HIP) to enhance material properties. Both fabrication methods produced laminates that significantly outperformed commercial alternatives in ballistic testing against 7.62 mm armor-piercing bullets. The use of HIP post-BEPM enhances material properties by reducing porosity and increasing hardness, highlighting the complementary nature of these technologies in producing efficient and cost-effective armor materials.
