Micromechanical and tribological behavior of titanium matrix composites reinforced with graphene oxide

The micromechanical and tribological properties of titanium matrix composites reinforced with graphene oxide (GO) were investigated by nanoindentation and nanoscratch methods. The effect of sintering temperature on the nanohardness and elastic modulus of the composite was also evaluated. The results indicate that as the GO content and sintering temperature of the composite were increased, the nanohardness and elastic modulus significantly...
