Review: titanium–titanium boride composites
Source abstract
Abstract
Titanium in situ reinforced with titanium boride (TiBw) has garnered significant attention as one of the most promising titanium composites today. A significant number of processing approaches have been reported on the fabrication of these unique composites. This brief review provides an update on recent activities within the area focusing largely on research conducted over the past 5 years. Approaches discussed include bulk deformation processes such as rolling, 2D forging, equal channel angular pressing, (laser and non-laser-based) additive manufacturing, and new microstructural designs implemented for this composite system. Moreover, the potential of this composite as a biomaterial is also discussed.
