The influence of mo additive on the microstructure and property of Ti/Al₂O₃ composite

Abstract

The influence of Mo on the microstructure, bending strength and HV of Ti/Al₂O₃ composite was studied, and the influence mechanism was analyzed. The results indicate that after the addition of Mo, the composite organization is finer and phases distribution is better-proportioned which make the microstructure denser, the bending strength and HV of composite are also increased to a degree. But the bending strength increases first then decreases with the increasing of Mo content, so the appropriate Mo content for the Ti/Al₂O₃ composite is to be further confirmed.
