Abstract

The effect of matrix microstructure on the mechanical properties of two model XD™ titanium aluminide composites containing 7 volume percent of either particulate (TiB2) or short-fiber ((Ti,Nb)By) reinforcement has been evaluated. Subsequent to wrought-processing via isothermal forging, heat treatments were performed to produce either a fully equiaxed or fully lamellar matrix microstructure. The synergism between matrix microstructure and reinforcement type has been evaluated for ambient-temperature tensile ductility and fracture toughness, and 800°C tensile strength and creep rate. Results indicate that overall composite performance is strongly dependent on reinforcement shape, the extent of which depends on the morphology of the matrix microstructure.
