摘要
TiAl-based composites reinforced with different high volume fractions of nearly network TizAIC phase have been successfully prepared by mechanical alloying and hot-pressing method. Their microstructure. mechanical and tribological properties have been investigated. Ti2AIC network becomes continuous but the network wall grows thicker with increasing the Ti2AIC content. The continuity and wall size of the network Ti2AIC phase exert a significant influence on the mechanical properties. The bending strength of the composites first increases and then decreases with the Ti2A1C content. The compressive strength of the composite decreases slightly compared to the TiAI alloy, but the hardness is enhanced. Due to the high hardness and load-carrying capacity of the network structure, these composites have the better wear resistance. And this enhancement is more notable at low applied loads and high Ti2A1C content. The mechanisms simulating the role of network Ti2AIC phase on the wear behavior and the wear process of TiAl/Ti2AIC composites at different applied loads have been proposed.
