To investigate the precipitation behavior of silicide and evaluate the contribution of the reinforcement phase to the properties of titanium matrix composites, a TiB-reinforced high-temperature titanium matrix composite was prepared by vacuum induction melting and multi-directional forging. The microstructure of the resultant composite after multi-directional forging was composed of a spheroidized a-phase, uniformly-distributed TiB and dual-scale silicides. The precipitation of silicides was attributed to the acceleration of elemental diffusion due to dislocations during forging. The strength of the composite after multi-directional forging at room temperature increased by about 151.9 MPa due to the fine-grain strengthening of the a-phase and the precipitation strengthening of the silicides, whereas the load-bearing efficiency of the TiB whiskers was reduced with the decrease in the aspect ratio. The strength of the multi-directional-forged titanium matrix composite at 700 degrees C was reduced by about 28.3 MPa. However, its plasticity was sig-nificantly improved, and the elongation reached 116.8%. The main reasons for the decrease in the strength were the easy initiation of cracks the grain boundaries and the weakening of the precipitation strengthening of the silicides. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V.
