The Effects of Rare Earth Element on the Al-Ti-B Master Alloy Second Phase

Article Preview

Abstract:

Al-Ti-B-RE master alloy is an efficient long-term new refiner. Al-Ti-B-RE refiner was prepared by Al-Ti-B master alloy doped with LaF3, La-rich RE carbonate and Ce respectively. This paper studies the effect of different type and mass fraction of RE on the Second Phase Particles distributions and shape in Master Alloys. The addition of RE have a certain effect of refining TiAl3 and TiB2 intermediate phase. Moreover, it prevents aggregation of TiB2 intermediate phase. As the different type and addition of RE has an effect on the microstructure of master alloy, then the reasonable addition of RE is put forward.
