Enhancing microstructure, nanomechanical and anti-wear characteristics of spark plasma sintered Ti6Al4V alloy via nickel-silicon carbide addition

This study examines the nanomechanical and anti-wear behaviour of spark plasma sintered Ti6Al4V matrix composites reinforced with Ni and SiC particles. Microstructural analysis revealed the in-situ formation of the hard TiC, Ti3SiC2 and Ti5Si3 phases within the metal matrix. Nanoindentation analysis...
