Abstract

Ti, Al, graphite and diamond powders were used as raw materials to prepare Ti2AlC matrixbonded diamond composite using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) method. The effect of diamond size and content on the fabrication of Ti2AlC-bonded diamond material was investigated. Results showed that Ti2AlC matrix-bonded diamond composites could be obtained by SHS. The phase composition and microstructure of the Ti2AlC-bonded diamond material were influenced by the diamond content and size. When the diamond (93 μm) additive amounts were 10% and 20%, the product phases included Ti2AlC, TiC and Al3Ti. However, excess Ti and Al persisted in the sample that contained 30% diamond. Diamond bonded well with the matrix in the sample that contained 10% diamond. Moreover, addition of coarse diamond particles with sizes of 93 and 125 μm produced a mainly Ti2AlC matrix. However, diamond adequately reacted with Ti to form TiC when finer diamond particles (5 and 10 μm) were used.
