Abstract

Consolidation of continuous fiber-reinforced titanium aluminide matrix composites (TMC) by the foil/fiber/foil method has traditionally taken an empirical approach utilizing processing cycles derived by simple trial and error. In an effort to reduce the empirical nature of producing TMC, a simple but effective analytical approach is employed. This approach analyzes the effect of fiber and foil geometries on consolidation parameters by combining a physical constitutive creep model with computational methods of interpreting raw materials characterization data. Examples of SCS-6/super a2(Ti-25Al-10Nb-3Mo-lV) and Saphikon/γ-TiAl composites consolidation are discussed by comparing the model predictions with equivalent validation specimen microstructures.
