Abstract
(Y2O3 + TiC)/Ti-4.5Si composites have been in-situ synthesized using arc-melting technology. Y2O3 and TiC particles grow in near-equiaxed and dendritic shapes, which are distributed uniformly in Ti-4.5Si matrix including the network Ti + Ti5Si 3 eutectic cells. From hardness and compressive tests at room temperature, (Y2O3 + TiC)/Ti-4.5Si composites show the higher hardness and compressive strength compared with the unreinforced and single TiC reinforced Ti-4.5Si matrix. The introduction of in-situ Y 2O3 and TiC particles influenced the oxidation behavior of the matrix. The excellent oxidation resistance of Y2O3 and TiC particle reinforced composites is attributed to lower growth rate, dense oxide scale and stronger adherence of oxide scale.
