A powder metallurgy titanium-base intermetallic composite with good fracture toughness has reportedly been developed by researchers at the National Research Institute for Metals, Japan. The information was reported at the TMS Light Metals Conference, Feb. 12-15, 2001. Mainly an orthorhombic beta phase, the matrix has composition Ti-22A1-27Nb, with 6.5% [TiB.sub.2] particles as reinforcement.
The material was the result of a program to raise the strength of titanium base intermetallics at 650[degrees]C (1200[degrees]F). [TiB.sub.2] was chosen as the reinforcement because it is ...
