Preparation of Al-Ti-N Master Alloy Grain Refiner for Al

Article Preview

Abstract:

An Al-Ti-N master alloy was prepared through the addition of AlN and Ti powders into pure Al melt heated in an induction furnace. This master alloy shows a higher grain refinement effect for pure Al than Al-Ti due to the formation of TiN and/or AlxTiyNz particles in the Al matrix. DTA, SEM and XRD results suggest that TiN and/or AlxTiyNz particles start to form at about 970°C during heating the Al-Ti-AlN powder mixture.
