Abstract
To obtain a kind of functionally graded material (FGM) with a density gradient, the W-Mo-Ti-TiAl-Al system graded material was designed, and the powder metallurgy method was chosen for its fabrication. The sintering of W, W-Mo, and Mo-Ti alloys at low temperature was studied, and then the approximately wholly dense W-Mo-Ti-TiAl system FGM was achieved by one-step sintering at 1473 K for 1 hour under a pressure of 30 MPa. It was found that through sintering at 1473 K, mainly the mechanical mixtures of W and Mo were formed in W-Mo alloys. In Mo-Ti alloys, the newly designed Fe-Al sintering aids not only have an important effect on the densification of the alloys, but also contribute to the formation of the (Mo, Ti) solid solution. However, the solid-solution reaction that occurred in Mo-Ti alloys was still insufficient. During the sintering of Ti + TiAl, the chemical reaction of Ti + TiAl → AlTi2 was induced within the sintered body. The W-Mo-Ti-TiAl-Al system FGM was finally fabricated by joining of the TiAl side of the sintered W-Mo-Ti-TiAl system FGM to metal Al with an Al-based brazing filler metal, and its density changed quasi-continuously within the large range from 17.15 to 2.70 g/cm3.
