| description | The application of titanium matrix composites (TMC) in aeroengine compressor design is discussed. TMC will allow radical changes in aeroengine compressor design from the conventional disc and dove-tail blade arrangement to a TMC bladed ring, termed a bling. All TMC manufacturing technique aim to minimize the total thermal exposure of the fibre to the Ti matrix during lay-up and consolidation. Several investigations have concentrated on the manufacture, properties, and design aspects of metal matrix composites including both TMC and squeeze cast locally-reinforced Al composites for automotive application. The ability of plasma spraying to manufacture a TMC monotape with a matrix of any composition, the relatively quick manufacturing times and new developments, such as spray/wind of multi-ply rings, ensure that plasma spraying is likely to find continued application in the development of TMC. |
