TL;DR: In this article, multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) reinforced titanium matrix composites were synthesized using a spark plasma sintering method at a low sinting temperature of 550 degrees C. The effects of the weight fraction of MWCNTs on the microstructures and the mechanical and thermal properties of the composites are investigated.

A Critical Evaluation of Indentation Techniques for Measuring Fracture Toughness: I, Direct Crack Measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, the application of indentation techniques to the evaluation of fracture toughness is examined critically, in two parts: the first part is focused on an approach which involves direct measurement of Vickers-produced radial cracks as a function of the indentation load.
