Microstructure and Phase Composition of Ti-Al-C Materials Obtained by High Voltage Electrical Discharge/Spark Plasma Sintering.

Titanium-based composite materials arouse interest in fields like aerospace, transportation, medicine, and other applications. This research project presents the analysis of phase composition of sintered Ti-Al-C composite materials under high voltage electrical discharge. The new technology, described in the previous work of the authors, allows to synthesise the composites containing various intermetallics, carbides, and nanostructures.
