Comparison of the strengths of wire drawn Cu-20% Ta and Cu-20% Nb in situ composites showed that Ta tilaments were more effective obstacles than Nb filaments to plastic deformation. Strengthening in both Cu-Ta and Cu-Nb composites correlated with Ta and Nb filament spacing, respectively, according t

β¦ Synopsis
A hot-pressing aided exothermic synthesis HPES technique was developed to fabricate NiAl matrix composites reinforced with TiB and TiC particles which were in situ reaction synthesized from 2 elemental powders. These particles were uniformly dispersed in the matrix. The resulting products were hot isostatically pressed to nearly complete densification. It was found that the tensile yield strengths of the composites at 900ΠC were about two times stronger than that of unreinforced NiAl and were approximately three times stronger at 980ΠC. The interfaces between NiAl and TiC or TiB were 2 atomically flat, sharp and free from any interfacial phases in most cases, however, a thin interfacial amorphous layer or overlapped interfacial layer was observed at the interfaces in some cases. This type of interfacial structure may be beneficial to the strength of the composites.

Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is a new technique to rapidly produce metal matrix composites (MMCs), but there is little work on the production of TiB 2 -TiC reinforced steel matrix composites by SPS. In this work, in situ TiB 2 -TiC particulates reinforced steel matrix composites have been successful
## Abstract By adding titanium and boron elements in the molten steel whose compositions were 0.10β0.30β%C, 0.20β0.50β%Si, 0.60β1.20β%Mn and 0.50β1.50β%Cu, particulateβreinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) were obtained. The reinforced phase and matrix were studied by means of the optical micro
