Abstract:
      TiB2p/Al-18%Si composite was prepared by directional melt reaction in-situ synthesis process applying TiO2 and KBF4 powder as reactant and Na3AlF6 as covering agent. The microstructure of the composites were investigated by OM,SEM and EPMA respectively. The results show that the in-situ TiB2 particles are less than 1.0 μm, and uniformly distribute in the Al-18%Si matrix alloy, and the primary α-Al dendritic crystal and needle-like eutectic Si are refined in TiB2p/Al-18%Si composite. The hardness, tensile strength and wear resistance of TiB2p/Al-18%Si composite is improved dramatically compared with Al-18%Si alloy.
