Laminated composite is a new type of composite structure which is used to improve the fracture toughness and flexure strength and is good for optimizing the mechanical properties of intermetallics. On the basis of bionic principle, the optimized design (via establishing the mathematical model, stress intensity factor K_Ⅰ was computed by the finite element method) of Ti/TiAl laminated composite was studied by varying the thickness ratio and layer amounts, then the raw materials of Ti and TiAl were evaporated and deposited alternatively to form laminated metal/intermetallic composites in vacuum chamber by electron beam physical vapor deposition method. The results show that the toughness of TiAl is improved and agrees well with theoretical analysis.
