This book introduces readers to titanium matrix composites (TMCs) with novel network
microstructures. The bottleneck problem of extreme brittleness and low strengthening effect
surrounding TMCs fabricated by means of powder metallurgy has recently been solved by designing
network microstructures which yield both high strength and superior ductility. As such
network structured TMCs will increasingly offer materials characterized by low weight high
strength high temperature resistance and superior deformability. The book systematically
addresses the design fabrication microstructure properties modification and toughening
mechanisms of these composites which will help us find innovative solutions to a range of
current and future engineering problems.
