EFFECT OF DEFORMATIONHEAT TREATMENT ON THE MICROSTRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF A COMPOSITE BASED ON A TWOPHASE TI13NB13ZR ALLOY STRENGTHENED WITH BORIDES
The Ti13Nb13Zr/(Ti,Nb)B metal-matrix composite was produced by vacuum arc remelting; the weight percentage of TiB2 in the initial charge before melting was 0.7 wt.%; an unreinforced Ti13Nb13Zr alloy was also prepared for comparison. The initial structure of the unreinforced Ti13Nb13Zr alloy was represented by finely...
