Titanium matrix composites (TMCs) offer high specific strength and stiffness compared with
steel and nickel-base materials. High-temperature TMCs can offer up to 50% weight …

Discontinuously reinforced titanium matrix composites (DRTMCs), as one of the most
important metal matrix composites (MMCs), are expected to exhibit high strength, elastic …

Significant progress has been made in understanding selective laser melting (SLM) process
as well as fabrication of various materials using this technology. This paper covers the …

Living organisms have ingeniously evolved functional gradients and heterogeneities to
create high-performance biological materials from a fairly limited choice of elements and …

Since the 1960s, it has been a common practice worldwide to pursue a homogeneous
distribution of reinforcements within a matrix material, discontinuous metal matrix …

The deformation-coordination ability between ductile metal and brittle dispersive ceramic
particles is poor, which means that an improvement in strength will inevitably sacrifice …

In-situ TiB reinforced titanium matrix composites (TMCs) were fabricated by selective laser
melting (SLM) of ball-milled Ti6Al4V–TiB 2 powders. Optimized SLM processing and stress …

Synchronous improvement of strength and ductility is a challenging and longstanding
problem in the further development and engineering applications of titanium matrix …

The titanium powder embedded with 2.5 vol% TiB was in-situ fabricated by gas atomization
and applied for direct laser deposited (DLD) titanium matrix composites. Consistent with the …

In-situ synthesized titanium borides reinforced Ti-6Al-4V composites with a tailored
reinforcement architecture were successfully prepared by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) …
