Effect of Al Mole Ratio on Iron Aluminide Reinforced with TiB2-Al2O3 Composite by Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Fe3Al-TiB2-Al2O3 composite has been prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) from FeTiO3-B2O3-Al system. The standard Gibbs energy minimization method was used to calculate the equilibrium compositions of the reacting species. The reactions were carried out in a SHS reactor under static argon gas at the pressure of 0.5 MPa. The effects of Al molar ratio of 4, 4.33 and 5 mole on the results product were investigated. The composition and microstructure of SHS products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The optimum result of Fe3Al intermetallics phase was obtained when using 4.33 mole of Al.
