Abstract

High volume fraction TiC-AlB₂ reinforced Al composite material has been produced by a casting process based on the use of KBF₄ salt. The reaction between the salt compound led to the release of AlB₂ precipitates in commercial purity Al melt whereas the improved wettability between the TiC particles and the formed slag caused their spontaneous entry. The resulting double reinforced composite showed no sign of severe TiC dissolution-reaction.
