TITANIUM ALLOYS FOR HIGH-TEMPERATURE USE STRENGTHENED BY FIBERS OR DISPERSED PARTICLES

摘要

Available data are reviewed on heterogeneous structures of titanium in which the titanium matrix is reinforced by a dispersion of metal fibers or particles. Fiber reinforcement offers promise for improving the short-time strength and modulus of elasticity in the temperature range of 1000 to 1400 F. It has been demonstrated that titanium can be strengthened by dispersion hardening and by fiber reinforcement, although the best condi¬tions have not yet been fully established.
