Abstract

Milling titanium trialuminide and titanium powders with an organic process control agent (PCA) followed by annealing forms nanostructured (Al,Cr) 3Ti/Ti2AlC composites. Composition of charge, milling time and PCA control final microstructure. Product is useful as thermal spray feedstock for oxidation and wear resistant composite coatings.
