Influence of spark plasma sintering on microstructure and corrosion behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V alloy reinforced with micron-sized Si3N4 powder

Ti-6Al-4V-Si3N4 composites were effectively fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. The addition of Si3N4 on Ti-6Al-4V was varied from 5% to 15% (wt fraction). The effect of Si3N4 addition on the densification, microstructure, and microhardness and corrosion behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V was...
