Abstract
Millimeter sized SiC (m-SiCp) and nanometer sized SiC (n-SiCp) particulates reinforced Al-6Ti-6Nb matrix composites were prepared by mechanical alloyi ng (MA) and later hot-press sintering. Their microstructure was investigate d to know the influence of the incorporated SiC particles. The secondary Al 3Ti, AlNb2 intermetallics particle size, the Al matrix grain size and their submicrostructure are strongly affected, and they are correlated with the thermal stability of the composites.
