Preparation and Microstructure of TiB2/Al Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

TiB2/Al composites were prepared by the direct melt reaction using Al-3B master alloy and Ti powder as the reactive materials. The phase composition and the microstructure of the as-prepared composites were investigated by XRD, SEM, TEM etc.. It is showed that the reinforcement was only TiB2, moreover, the volume fraction of the reinforcements increased with the increasing of the reactants. The TEM images showed that TiB2 particle was in the shape of hexagonal, circle and rectangle, and its size was 0.5-2μm.
