Development of a Reliable Fabrication Technique to Produce Intermetallic Compounds

Abstract

Intermetallic compounds offer very high specific material properties and property retention at elevated temperatures. However, reliable processing techniques to fabricate these materials have not been developed. This program will investigate the use of a novel fabrication technique involving a deformation-solid state reaction bonding process to form titanium beryllides. The objectives of this investigation are to: Establish reaction kinetics for the formation of titanium beryllides (Ti-Be) intermetallic compounds. Establish processing parameters needed to reproducibly fabricate these materials. Characterize the properties of titanium beryllides fabricated using a deformation-solid state reaction bonding process. Investigate the effects that alloying additions have on the crystal structure of titanium beryllides and determine how changes impact the beryllides's mechanical properties. (kt)
