Influence on the properties of TMCs of ceramic and intermetallic composite reinforcements (BC, TiAl and TiSi) fabricated by inductive hot pressing.

Ambitious and competitive, the aerospace industry continuously demonstrates to be one of the leading engineering sectors either at exigence and new technologies development. As lightning the weight of aircrafts is one of the main targets, the spotlight is usually on material research by which new ones may be produced to pursue this aim and still offer the necessary performances. The combination of the properties of titanium and other materials as reinforcements provides really interesting results as titanium matrix composite materials, also known as TMCs.
