MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SiC/Ti-15V-3Cr-3Sn-3Al COMPOSITES BY SPARK PLASMA SINTERING

摘要

Spark plasma sintering (SPS) process has paid to attention in fields of development such as the functionally graded materials because of lower sintering temperature and shorter sintering time. In this research, The Ti-15V-3Cr-3Sn-3Al (Ti-15-3) matrix composites (TMC) reinforced with SCS-6 have been fabricated by using SPS. TMC were sintered at temperature of 1073 to 1273K. And the effects of sintering temperatures on tensile properties of TMC by SPS were evaluated. Tensile test of TMC by SPS were carried out at room temperature to 1073K. Furthermore tensile properties of TMC were experimentally evaluated with 10% to 35% volume fraction of SCS-6.
