Inhibiting the interfacial reaction between few-layered graphene and titanium via SiC nanoparticle decoration

The high reaction tendency between graphene and titanium (Ti) matrix during fabrication of graphene/Ti composites aggravates the structural integrity of graphene and limits its outstanding strengthening potential. In order to solve this problem, in this study, few-layered graphene (FLG) decorated with SiC nanoparticles ([email protected]) was synthesized to reinforce Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) alloy via a powder metallurgy route. Microstructure and...
