Processing of Cu composites reinforced by titanium carbide particles.
A novel technique termed Reactive Gas Injection (RGI), for synthesis of fine single crystal TiC particles in copper matrix has been developed. The process involves the injection of a carbon bearing gas into a molten alloy and subsequent reaction of the carbon containing gas with the alloying titanium to produce the micron level reinforcement. The process leads to fine homogeneous distribution of the stoichiometric carbides. The in-situ process produces TiC of size to 5 micrometers (vis a vis 5 to 100 micrometers for artificial mixing processes) with a narrower carbide size distribution.
