Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of In Situ TiB2/6061 Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

In situ TiB2/6061 composites have been successfully synthesized through chemical reaction between 6061 master alloy, Al-3B master alloy and Ti powder. The composites fabricated by direct melt mixing method was investigated by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive x-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), The results shown the existence of TiB2 particles. The size of most TiB2 particles were just in micron level, and even reached to sub-micron level. The increase in microhardness and tensile strength for the as-prepared composites with 5% particulate volume fraction (PVF) are up to 26.8% and 51.2% respectively.
