Signifi cant cost reductions in continuously reinforced titanium-matrix composites have enabled their successful insertion into two aerospace applications. Additional applications are being pursued, but reduced anisotropy is required to achieve the broadest impact of this technology. Novel hybrid composites consisting of continuous SiC reinforcements and titanium alloys enhanced with TiB and/or TiC particles are being developed to reduce the anisotropy between longitudinal and transverse properties.
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.
