Compared to the micro-sized particle-reinforced metal matrix composites, the nano-sized
particle-reinforced metal matrix composites possess superior strength, ductility, and wear …

Al–Ti–C master alloy has been known as an efficient grain refiner for a series of Al alloys
since 1950s. However, the grain refinement mechanism is still not fully elucidated up to now …

Abstract Al–4.5 Cu–xTiC (x= 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5) alloys reinforced by in-situ synthesized TiC
nanoparticles have been prepared by casting method in this work. It shows that the size of …

A strong interface and microstructure design is the key to the development of the ceramics/Al
composites with high strength-ductility synergy. This work aims to manipulate the interface …

In this paper, an in-situ powder metallurgy technique of fabricating near net shape
particulate Al3Ti–Al composite is developed. Titanium tri-aluminide particles were generated …

In situ Al–TiC (5, 10 and 15wt%) composites were produced by using a reaction mixture of
K2TiF6 and graphite powder with molten metal. The effect of ceramic particulate addition on …

The influence of in-situ synthesized TiC nanoparticles on age-hardening behavior of Al–Cu
alloys was investigated in Al–4.5 Cu–1.5 TiC alloy. It was found that TiC nanoparticles …

Reactions in Al–10 wt.% TiC metal matrix composites have been investigated by heating
samples between 600 and 900° C for 48 h and holding at 700° C for periods up to 240 h. X …

A metal matrix composite has been obtained by a novel synthesis route, reacting Al 3 Ti and
graphite at 1000° C for about 1 min after ball-milling and compaction. The resulting …

The thermal stability of TiC particles in an Al7wt.% Si matrix has been investigated by heat-
treating samples between 500 and 1000° C for 6 h. The compositions, morphologies and …
