It was shown that the damage mechanisms of both tensile and fracture toughness specimens of the composite material were strongly influenced by the poor distribution,of the reinforcement (particle clustering and large particulate size). The composite fracture surfaces were investigated using a scanning,electron microscope (SEM) and an optical microscope (OM) showing that the failure of the composite was controlled by fracture of the reinforcement followed by ductile failure of the titanium matrix.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compscitech.2005.03.005} (DOI). da Silva, A.; dos Santos, J.; Strohaecker, T.: Microstructural and Mechanical Characterisation of a Ti6Al4V/TiC710p Composite Processed by the BE-CHIP Method.
