Abstract
Graphene (GR) demonstrates significant potential in enhancing the mechanical performance of titanium matrix composites (TMCs), particularly by improving their tensile strength, fracture toughness, and fatigue resistance, thereby optimizing the overall structural integrity and durability of the composites; however, their practical implementation confronts two fundamental challenges: achieving uniform dispersion and mitigating excessive interfacial TiC formation, which compromises mechanical properties. This review comprehensively explores progress in the fabrication, interfacial design, and mechanical optimization of TMCs reinforced with graphene-based materials. Various processing techniques, such as powder metallurgy (PM) and spark plasma sintering (SPS), are critically analyzed in terms of their advantages and limitations for producing high-performance TMCs. This article analyzes how…
