“…In situ synthesized discontinuous-reinforced TMCs have attracted great attention because of their strong matrix-reinforcement bond, little contamination, ease of fabrication, and low cost [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The in situ synthesis methods include self-propagation high-temperature synthesis (SHS) [3,4], powder metallurgy (PM) [5][6][7], mechanical alloying (MA) [8], rapid solidification process (RSP) [9,10], ingot metallurgy (IM) [11][12][13][14], etc. TiB and TiC particulates have been considered as the two best reinforcements in the titanium matrix due to their high elastic modulus, high thermal stability, similar density with titanium alloys, and excellent interfacial bonding with titanium matrix [11].…”
