Study on the fabrication of in-situ TiB2/Al composite by electroslag melting

In-situ TiB2 particles can be synthesized via the salts-Al reaction by adding mixed K2TiF6 and KBF4 (Ti/B=1/2) salts into Al melt.

Sumario:In-situ TiB2 particles can be synthesized via the salts-Al reaction by adding mixed K2TiF6 and KBF4 (Ti/B=1/2) salts into Al melt. In this research, a novel electroslag melting technology was proposed to synthesize TiB2 particles by the salts-Al reaction in order to reduce the reaction time period and purify the melt of composite. The effects of current of electroslag melting on the synthesis of TiB2 particles and mechanical properties of composite were investigated. The results showed that TiB2 particles could be in-situ synthesized by electroslag melting at 600 A for 15min. Compared with 60 min at 850°C of traditional LSM method, the efficiency of preparation was greatly improved. In addition, the dispersion of TiB2 particles in the composite prepared by electroslag melting was improved, meanwhile the non-metallic inclusions in the composite was reduced. The values of YS, UTS and El pct of composite prepared by electroslag melting were higher than that of the composite prepared by traditional LSM method.
