Abstract
A microcomposite material having a matrix of a titanium-base alloy, the material further including about 10-80% by weight TiC substantially uniformly dispersed in the matrix. Several methods of cladding a macrocomposite structure including pressing quantities of a matrix material and a microcomposite material composed of the matrix material and a compatible stiffener material into layers to form a multi-layered compact and sintering the multi-layered compact to form an integral metallurgical bond between the layers of the compact with diffusion but essentially no composition gradient between the layers. A multi-layered macrocomposite article composed of an alloy layer of a matrix material and a layer of a microcomposite material composed of the matrix material and a compatible stiffener material bonded together at the interface region between the layers, the interface region being essentially free of a composition gradient.
