Lightweight high-strength Ti-based metal matrix composites (Ti-based MMCs) have a multitude of application applications, e.g., biomedical engineering, aerospace, and automotive, due to their good sustainability, high specific strength/stiffness, high elevated temperature strength, high wear, and corrosion resistance. Although there are metal matrix composite coatings comprised of polymers, composite, and ceramics materials, the paper primarily focuses on titanium-based composite coatings. This review also discusses the different coating techniques including electrodeposition, thermal spray, plasma spray, vapor deposition, and laser cladding to achieve high hardness and roughness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Totally, we attempt to bring out Ti based materials scenario for its current applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
