Research on Purification of TiB 2/Al composite Fabricated by LSM Method
The TiB 2/Al composite was fabricated by LSM method, the phase analysis of the composite was carried out by means of XRD, image analysis and Optic Microscope. The effect of purification method on TiB 2/Al composite was examined. The results show that flux refinement processes has no significant effect on the distribution of TiB 2 in TiB 2/Al composite, and the content of TiB 2 particulates remains the same after refined. however, inert gas refinement processing has a significant effect, TiB 2 particulates has been not examined.Inert gas refinement processes which are adapted for conventional aluminum alloys are not suitable for the composites.
