Abstract: The microstructure of TiC-Al2O3-Fe composites prepared by SHS/PHIP was studied. As the Fe content was increased, the particle size of TiC decreased, and the distribution of Al2O3 became homogeneous. There existed a little of particle phase in TiC grains. While some of ε- (AlTi)Fe3Cx cellular phase with -AlFe3C0.69 structure was found in Fe-binder phase. A great deal of dislocation were observed in TiC grains because of the rapid pressing in the process of SHS/PHIP.

Key words: SHS/PHIP, TiC-Al2O3-Fe composites, microstructure, cellular structure
