Abstract

In this review, the studies on titanium matrix composites reinforced with carbon black, graphite, carbon nanotube and graphene are summarized. Especially, the importance of graphene reinforcement has been emphasized, and new trends for titanium composites will be addressed in the future. Furthermore, the effects of the reinforcements on the composite mechanics are explained by strengthening mechanisms. Graphene is one of the carbon-based materials which has one atomic thickness. It was first synthesized in 2004 and started to be used in metal matrix composite fabrication from 2008. Graphene is also preferred in the production of titanium matrix composite in recent years. When graphene is compared with other carbon based reinforcing materials, titanium composites with graphene addition have high hardness, high corrosion resistance, greater yield and tensile strength. In the literature, the effect of the amount of graphene, sintering temperature and time, processes of powder metallurgy method and secondary processes on the mechanical properties of the titanium composites have not been sufficiently revealed.  Therefore, the use of graphene in titanium based materials will continue to be used in the near future. Because of these considerations, new generation titanium composites, especially with graphene additives, will be used in implant, automotive, defense industry, aerospace and space applications in the near future due to their lightness, high strength, high wear and corrosion resistance.

Karbon Esaslı Malzeme Takviyeli Titanyum Kompozitler ve Grafen Üzerine Yeni Eğilimler

Abstract

Bu derlemede karbon siyahı, grafit, karbon nanotüp ve grafen takviyeli titanyum matrisli kompozit üretimi üzerine yapılan çalışmalar özetlenmiştir. Özellikle grafen takviyesinin önemi vurgulanmış ve gelecekte titanyum kompozitler için yeni eğilimlerin ne olacağı ortaya konulmuştur. Ayrıca, yapılan takviyelerin kompozit mekaniği üzerine olan etkileri mukavemet artırıcı mekanizmalarla açıklanmıştır. Karbon esaslı malzemelerden biri olan grafen bir atom kalınlığında olup, ilk kez 2004 yılında sentezlenmiş ve 2008 yılından itibaren metal matrisli kompozit üretiminde kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Son yıllarda titanyum matrisli kompozit üretiminde de tercih edilmektedir. Grafen ve diğer karbon esaslı takviye malzemeleri kıyaslandığında, grafen takviyesi ile daha yüksek sertlik, akma ve çekme dayanımı elde edilmiştir. Literatürde grafen miktarının, sinterleme sıcaklığı ve zamanının, toz metalürjisi süreçlerinin ve ikincil işlemlerin kompozitin mekanik özelliklerine etkisi yeterince ortaya konulmamıştır. Bu durum titanyum esaslı malzemelerde grafen kullanımına yakın gelecekte de devam edileceğini göstermektedir. Bu nedenlerle, özellikle grafen takviyeli yeni nesil titanyum kompozitler sahip olduğu hafiflik, yüksek mukavemet, yüksek aşınma ve korozyon daynımından dolayı yakın gelecekte implant, otomotiv, savunma sanayi, havacılık  ve uzay uygulamalarında kullanım alanı bulacaktır.
