Abstract

This project deals with the development of a process to produce TiB2 whiskers using the experience gained in the production of SiC whiskers. The TiB2 whiskers are expected to find applications as reinforcements in aluminum, titanium, silicon carbide and silicon nitride matrices. These composites are expected to be used in engines.
