In this paper, a near-α titanium alloys reinforced with different volume fraction of TiCwere prepared by vacuum induction melting technology. The addition of TiC_p was 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 15 vol.% respectively. The effect of TiC content on microstructure and mechanical properties of near-α titanium alloys was systematically investigated by XRD, OM, SEM and Instron universal testing machine. The XRD result confirms that in-situ casting process is feasible to fabricate the composite. As TiC content increases, the morphologies of TiC are transformed from long strip-like to equiaxed shape and then to dendritic characteristic, which is closely related to the solidification paths. The addition of TiCpromotes the ultimate compression strength (UCS) and yield strength(YS) of the alloy. However, as the TiC content reaches to a certain degree, the strength decreases in different degree. The increased UCS and YS is accompanied by the rapid decreasing in fracture strain.
