摘要

Ti2AlN/TiN functionally graded materials (FGM) were successfully fabricated by vacuum hotpressing. Bulk density of the sintered samples was measured by Archimedes principle. The sample sintered at 1 300 degrees C for 2 h has the maximum fi nal density and lowest open porosity. SEM coupled with EDS was utilized to investigate the phase composition and microstructure, and well-formed boundary was found between the layers. The microhardness tests suggest that Vickers' hardness of Ti-2 AlN/TiN FGM increases monotonically with the volume fraction content of TiN increases. Corrosion results are that the corrosion resistance of Ti2AlN/ TiN FGM is much better than that of Ti2AlN in acid, but quite the opposite in alkali. Constant temperature oxidation study shows that the oxidation kinetics of Ti2AlN/TiN FGM at 900 degrees C follows the parabolic law closely.
