To increase the strength of titanium alloys beyond that achievable with alpha-beta microstructures, alternative reinforcing methods are necessary. Here, field-assisted sintering technology (FAST) has been used to produce a novel Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr (Ti-5553) metal-matrix-composite (MMC) reinforced with 0-25 wt.% of a similar to 2 GPa yield strength TiFeMo alloy strengthened by ordered body-centred cubic intermetallic and to phases. The interdiffusion region between Ti-5553 and TiFeMo particles was studied by modelling, electron microscopy, and nanoindentation to examine the effect of graded composition on mechanical properties and formation of a, intermetallic, and omega phases, which resulted in a >200 MPa strengthening benefit over unreinforced Ti-5553.
