In this study, Al1050 composites reinforced with uniformly dispersed, high volume fraction $TiB_2$ particles were fabricated by liquid pressing process and analyzed to microstructure, mechanical properties. Hardness, ultimate tensile strength and compressive yield strength of the 56 vol.% $TiB_2$-Al1050 composite increased to 10, 4.5 and 9.8 times, respectively, compared with those of the Al1050 due to dispersion hardening effect of uniformly dispersed $TiB_2$ in the Al matrix.

Titanium boride ($\textrn{TiB}_{x}$) films were deposited on (100) silicon substrates at the substrate temperature of $500^{\circ}C$ by means of the co-evaporation of titanium and boron evaporants during deposition. The co-evaporation method makes it possible to deposit the non-stoichiometric films with different boron-to-titanium ratio($0{\le}B/Ti \le 2.5$). The resistivity increases linearly as the boron-to-titanium ratio in the as-deposited films is increased. The surface roughness of $\textrn{TiB}_{x}$ films is changed as a function of the boron-to-titanium ratio. The XRD spectrum for pure titanium film shows a highly (002) preferred orientation. For B/Ti=0.59 ratio only a single TiB phase that shows a (111) preferred orientation is observed. However, the $\textrn{TiB}_{x}$ phase with the hexagonal structure of the $AlB_2$(C32) type appears as the boron concentration increase, and only a single $\textrn{TiB}_{x}$ phase is observed for $B/Ti \ge 2.0$ ratio. The $\textrn{TiB}_{x}$/Si samples reveal a tensile stress (3~$20{\times}^9$dyn/$\textrm{cm}^2$) in the overall composition of the films, although the magnitude of the residual stresses is depended on the nominal B/Ti ratio.

Various ceramic particulate such as TiC, $TiB_2$, $Al_2O_3$ reinforced SUS431 matrix composites were successfully fabricated by a novel liquid pressing infiltration process. Microstructures of the SUS431 composite were analyzed to determine manufacturability of composites. $Al_2O_3$-SUS431 composite had lots of defects due to poor wettability between the $Al_2O_3$ and steel matrix. On the other hand, TiC was uniformly dispersed in the SUS431 matrix than $TiB_2$ and $Al_2O_3$ due to good wettability and interfacial properties.
