Abstract

A number of discontinuously reinforced, intermetallic matrix composites (i.e., TiAl/TiC, TiAl/TiB2, TiAl/Ti5Si3) were formed in situ through self-propagating, high-temperature synthesis (SHS) between elemental powders. This Bureau of Mines study characterizes the abrasive wear behavior of these composites. Wear behavior is discussed with respect to process history, and type and volume fraction of reinforcement. Generally, higher process temperatures lead to dense composites, resulting in better wear resistance. The wear behavior of the SHS intermetallic composites is compared to other intermetallics, produced by conventional techniques.
