Abstract

We report Ti concentration measurements in dilute Al-Ti-B alloys, acquired from direct chemical analysis of the molten metal by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). By LIBS it is possible to analyze the influence of B addition on the concentration of dissolved Ti in the melt. After the addition of B, the dissolved Ti concentration is slowly reduced, with the kinetics strongly influenced by the Ti/B ratio and the melt temperature. The experimental observations are consistent with the formation of TiB\(_{2}\) around Al-borides. The experiments confirm that LIBS measurements of the liquid metal enable the real-time study of the kinetics of boron treatment.
