摘要

Aiming to enhance hardness and wear resistance, this study employed hydride–dehydride titanium powder and graphite powder to fabricate in-situ TiC particle-reinforced titanium matrix composites. It is found that the in-situ TiC particles significantly refine the α-Ti grains, from 52.0 μm in pure Ti to 6.0 μm in the Ti-4.0C composite. Overall, the Ti-1.0C material exhibits the best performance, with tensile strength of 853 MPa, yield strength of 746 MPa, and elongation of 18.0%. Compared with pure Ti, the tensile strength and yield strength respectively increase by 32.2 and 48.4%, without notable elongation decrease. The strength improvement is attributed to grain refinement, solid solution strengthening, and load transfer reinforcement from TiC. Besides, the addition of graphite has a positive effect on the improvement of the hardness and wear resistance. The Ti-4.0C sample exhibits the best wear resistance, with a friction coefficient that is reduced by 30.91% compared to pure Ti sample, while the hardness increases from 18.3 to 33.9 HRC. This study provides a new approach for enhancing the comprehensive properties of titanium matrix composites.
