From page 5...
... These materials have moderate transverse strength and toughness, as well as sufficient ductility to facilitate stress redistribution (Figure 4~. But design flexibility is still limited, because TMCs only have structural benefit when unidirectional reinforcements are embedded in monolithic Ti alloys [18,321.
