Due to titanium carbide`s physical and elastic properties, titanium carbide particles are widely used as a reinforcement in titanium-alloy-based composites. Previous studies have shown that no obvious reaction products were detected on the interface region in TiC/Ti alloy systems; instead, a nonstoichiometric region in the TiC particle between the Ti{sub 6}Al{sub 4}V alloy and the stoichiometric TiC was found. However, the nature and the extent of the nonstoichiometric zone have not been quantitatively described. The present communication reports some results of a parallel electron-energy-loss spectroscopy (PEELS) study on a 10 vol pct TiC-particle-reinforced IMI-829 metal-matrix composite.
