Ti2AlC/TiC Functionally Graded Material Fabricated by SPS

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ti/Al/TiC mixed powders were used as the raw materials for the fabrication of functionally graded material (FGM) in situ synthesis by spark plasma sintering. The sample was analyzed by SEM combined with Metallographic microscope and Energy Disperse Spectroscopy. The results show that dense Ti2AlC/TiC functionally graded material (FGM) was produced by spark plasma sintering. Micro-hardness tester is used to character the distribution of hardness on the material .The results show that the Vickers hardness of every layer increases with TiC content and temperature increasing.
