Abstract
An internally reinforced hollow structure is described which comprises a layer of titanium metal matrix composite applied to the internal surfaces of structural segments comprising the hollow structure, the segments then being joined to form the desired hollow structure.
Claims11
An internally reinforced hollow titanium alloy structure, comprising:
- (a) at least two titanium alloy structural segments joinable to form a hollow structure;
- and
- (b) a layer of titanium matrix composite on at least one of said segments at an inner surface of said hollow structure.
A method for fabricating an internally reinforced hollow titanium alloy structure, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing at least two titanium alloy structural segments joinable to form a hollow structure;
- (b) applying a layer of titanium matrix composite on at least one of said segments at an inner surface of said hollow structure;
- and
- (c) joining said segments to form said hollow structure.
