Effect of braze processing on the microstructure and mechanical properties of SCS-6/beta21S titanium matrix composites

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6467403
An investigation is conducted of the effects of braze processing on the microstructure and tensile properties of SiC fiber-reinforced Ti-15Mo-2.7Nb-3Al-0.25Si-matrix composite (TMC) laminates; the brazing alloy was the commercial Ti-15Cu-15Ni, in both its conventional and metglass forms. Tensile tests conducted at room temperature, 1200 F, and 1500 F showed that the braze processes (1) had little effect on tensile properties, and (2) appeared to degrade neither the reinforcing fibers not the fiber/matrix interfacial bondline. 8 refs.
