abstract="Explosive shock-wave consolidation has been used to fabricate a composite consisting of gamma phase titanium aluminide matrix reinforced with paniculate silicon carbide. Although the consolidation process takes less than a microsecond to complete, melting of the surfaces of the titanium aluminide powder particles results in a reaction with the silicon carbide. Titanium suicide and titanium carbide form in the molten zone, depleting it of titanium to the extent that its final composition is TiAl3. In addition, a second titanium suicide phase forms on the surfaces of the silicon carbide particles. © 1990 The Metallurgical of Society of AIME.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
