This work reports the effect of TiC volume fractions on hardness of TiC/TiCu/C composites synthesized through in situ reactive infiltration of Ti-Cu alloy into porous carbon preforms prepared by 3 D-printing. Reactive melt infiltration of the alloy at 1100 degrees C under argon into C-preforms with different porosities resulted in materials composed of TiC, Cu-rich intermetallic matrix (Ti3Cu4) and residual carbon. The microstructure consists of TiC grains distributed along the Cu-Ti/C boundary. The hardness of TiC/Ti3Cu4/C composites could be tailored by the TiC volume fraction and the distribution in the composites, which are determined by the processing parameters and the initial porosity of the carbon templates in 3 D-printing stage. The hardness of the produced composites ranges from 350 HV to 570 HV and could be tailored by the TiC volume fraction and distribution in the composites, which are determined by the processing parameters and the initial porosity of the carbon-preforms.
