This study aimed to develop a Ti/Al-based multilayered MIL material by adding ceramic powders, since they can improve the composite’s impact resistance. To this end, an experiment was conducted which a stack of alternating Ti and Al sheets bonded by hot pressing; Ti/Al multilayers containing additional layers of Al2O3 and SiC powders were also produced. The samples obtained were examined using electron microscopy techniques. The clads’ mechanical properties were investigated using a Charpy hammer. In the reaction zone, only one intermetallic phase occurred: the Al3Ti phase. The model with an additional Al2O3 layer showed the highest impact energy. None of the Ti/Al clads broke during the Charpy impact test, a result proving their high ductility.}, type={Article}, title={Influence of Hot Pressing on the Microstructure of Multi-Layered Ti/Al Composites}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/119308/PDF/AMM-2021-4-37-Kowalski.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2021.136435}, keywords={Ti/Al multilayers, electron microscopy, impact test}, }
