"Combining lightweight titanium alloys with hard ceramic particles could bring about materials with high specific strength and stiffness for structural applications and with excellent wear resistance at the same time. In this work, coarse silicon carbide particles were used as the hard ceramic phase in lightweight titanium. Conventional powder metallurgy methods of consolidation titanium and silicon carbide leave residual porosity and are prone to silicides formation.
