Effect of the Size of Powder on the Microstructures and Grain Refining Performance of AlTiC Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

AlTiC master alloys have been prepared by Contact Reaction Method(CRM).X-ray diffraction,SEM and EDS were used to analyses the AlTiC master alloys. It showed that morphology and distribution of TiC and Al3Ti particle have correspondingly changed with the change of the size of powder. As a result, the change in morphology and distribution of TiC and Al3Ti particle has considerably affected the gain refining performance of AlTiC master alloys. The result showed that: when the grain size of Ti is much smaller, the effect of refinement is much better.
