Architectured heterogeneous metallic composites consist of two dissimilar materials with a particular focus on spatial arrangement of constituents. This experimental study describes the application of Field Assisted Sintering Technique (FAST) for manufacturing of composite materials by sintering of a bulk reinforcement with a powder metal. Simple structure made of Ti wire (Ti Grade 2) was sintered with Al6061 alloy powder at 560◦C for 10 min. Successful material bonding and evolution of diffusion layer was thoroughly studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Diffusion layer and adjacent precipitates are described as ternary Ti-Al-Si τ1 and τ2 phases. Si, as an alloying element in the Al6061 alloy, significantly affects the formation of the diffusion layer at the material interface due to its high inter-diffusion coefficient in both Al and Ti. Detailed TEM analysis also showed a modulated τ1/τ2 structure resembling a long-period stacking order (LPSO) phase, which has not been previously reported in the Ti-Al-Si ternary compounds. FAST is capable to manufacture composites from dissimilar constituents, which opens new possibilities for design and manufacturing of architectured materials.
