Abstract

In this study, the microstructural formation and static/dynamic compression behaviour of the recycled Ti-Al-Cu matrix hybrid composites reinforced with silicon whiskers and alumina (Al2O3) fibres are examined. It is intended to be an alternative to traditional alloys/composites used in the aeronautical industry. These composites are generally produced using combined sintering + forging processes. The static and dynamic properties are evaluated in detail, taking into account the relevant scanning electron microscopy (SEM) microstructures, including the distribution of reinforcement elements.
