Copper matrix composites reinforced with 10 wt.-% TiC particles were produced under a pressure of 50 MPa, at 600, 700 and 800 °C, and for a sintering time of 4 minutes, respectively. The TRS of the composites were determined using three-point bending test. SEM was used to analyze the fractured surfaces of composites. SEM results showed that with increasing sintering temperature, pores and gaps in the fractured surfaces decreased. The ultimate transverse rupture strength of Cu-TiC composites was found to increase with increasing sintering temperature.falseCu-TiC composites | Sintering temperature | TRSArticle10.3139/120.1107622-s2.0-84938905930
