Introduction
Materials used for medical applications
Biological materials
Polymers and fibers
Ceramics
Metallic materials (SS, Co-Cr alloy, Ti and its
alloys)- sufficient strength and toughness, which
are particularly important for load-bearing
applications such as total joint replacements
Advantages
The smaller atomic clusters of TiC mostly precipitate as the eutectic TiC at a
eutectic temperature which is lower than the primary temperature.
The primary TiC phase is in the majority of TiC in the composite with TiC
powder as the carbon source, and the relative content of eutectic TiC phase
is high when carbon powder is used as the carbon source.
IN TiC particles are small and faceted. The <001> directions are
the main growth directions of TiC Once the <001> directions are
inhibited, the growth rate of TiC would slow down.
Conclusion
TiC powder is used as the carbon source of the composites, primary
TiC accounts for the majority of TiC reinforcements. When carbon
powder is used as the carbon source, eutectic TiC accounts for the
majority and the dendritic growth of primary TiC is restrained.
Increasing the cooling rate can reduce the size of TiC as indicated by
copper mould suck casting. Fine and dispersed TiC particles are
easier to be produce in the composite with carbon powder as the
carbon source.
