Metal Bonded Titanium Diboride

Abstract

Titanium diboride in a finely divided state was combined with thirty percent (by weight) of either powdered iron, cobalt, nickel, chromium, or zirconium and pressed into compacts which were fired in an argon atmosphere at temperatures exceeding the melting point of the added metal. The sintering characteristics of the compacts and the phases present after firing are described. Tests were made for oxidation resistance at 2000 F. The information obtained from this investigation is discussed with a view towards further work regarding the possibilities of using metal bonded titanium diboride in high temperature applications for flight propulsion units.
