Abstract
Under prior art practice, Ti-alloys have been fabricated by rolling the desired alloy to about 200–250 μm thick sheets. The sheet is employed as an alternate layer in a layup of Ti-alloy sheets and an array of parallel SiC fibres, held together with a very fine Ti ribbon to form a preconsolidated assembly, which is consolidated by hot-pressing or hot isostatic pressing (HIPing). Extensive fibre misalignment has been found to occur in the consolidated composite due to large amounts of metal developed during the compaction of the metal arond the fibres.
