Inspection of titanium matrix composites (TiMMCs) is required during manufacture, to ensure that defects are found before the material is incorporated into complex structures. The manufacturing process involves lay-up of fibres followed by Hot Isostatic Pressing. Individual fibres must remain in alignment and with precise separations in order to maintain the mechanical properties of the materia...

Nanocomposite Ti/hydrocarbon plasma polymer (Ti/ppCH) films were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering of titanium target in n-hexane, argon, or a mixture of these two gases. The resultant films were heterogeneous, with inorganic regions of nanometer scale distributed within a plasma polymer matrix. The titanium content was controlled by adjusting the argon/n-hexane ratio in the working gas. In ...

We justified theoretical and experimental bases of synthesis of new class of highly nanostructured composite nanomaterials based on metal matrix with titanium carbide nanowires as dispersed phase. A new combined method for obtaining of metal iron-based composite materials comprising the powder metallurgy processes and the surface design of the dispersed phase is considered. The following stages...

Titanium and nickel alloys represent a significant metal portion of the aircraft structural and en components and the residual stresses induced by machining are very critical due to safety sustainability concerns. This paper presents experimental investigations and finite element simulat on turning of Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy and IN100 nickel based alloy with uncoated and TiAlN co tools. Face t...

Titanium carbide (TiC) nanocrystals were recently proposed as the carrier of the mysterious 21 mm emission feature observed in post–asymptotic giant branch stars, based on their close spectral match and the presolar nature of meteoritic TiC nanograins (which reveals their stellar ejecta origin). But we show in this Letter that the KramersKronig dispersion relations, which relate the wavelength-...

Titanium-containing carbide slag (TCS) is the product obtained by high-temperature carbothermal reduction in Titanium-bearing blast furnace (TBFS), which contains a large amount of TiC phase with excellent electrical conductivity. In this paper, conductive cement mortar was prepared TCS as an aggregate and graphite phase. The content on compressive strength resistivity investigated. results sho...
