The (TiB2+TiC)/AlSi10Mg composite powders with 1.5 wt% nano-TiB2 particles and nano-TiC were prepared by ball milling. Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) reinforced TiB2 TiC fabricated via SLM optimal processing parameters. showed a very high ultimate tensile strength ∼552.4 MP excellent ductility ∼12%, which is 40.3% 166.7% higher than that of unreinforced AlSi10Mg, respectively. effects nanopa...

TiB2-SiC-C and TiB2-TiC-C heteromodulus ceramics were sintered by reactive hot pressing of TiC-B4C-Si TiC-B4C precursors at 1830 °C 30 MPa. Sintering time the maximum temperature was between 2 8 min. The reactions in green body create submicron (100–400 nm) TiB2 crystals inside silicon carbide grains as well BxSiyCz nanofibers, which nucleate near SiC surfaces. Low hardness graphite platelets a...

Al/TiB2-SiC composites were prepared based on TiB2-SiC porous ceramic preforms. The advantages of this work characterized by the in-situ synthesized TiB2 in preforms which directly formed interconnected pores as well skeletons during one-step sintering. By controlling volume fraction, it is possible to tailor preform structures so determine and mechanical properties composites. with 20 vol% add...

In this research work, the possibility of semi industrial production of Al-TiB2 and Al-ZrB2 composites, using reactive slag in a flame furnace have been investigated. For this purpose, commercial pure aluminum and powder mixture of TiO2 (ZrO2) , KBF4 and Na3AlF6 were used. The results showed that using a proper ratio of slag forming materials as well as proper amounts of the above-mentioned com...

Properties of Al/TiB2 heterophase interfaces are investigated by means atomic-scale calculations. Focusing on practically important (111)Al//(0001)TiB2basal interfaces, our study allows to clarify various ambiguities present in the literature when calculating coherent interface energies non-binary systems: (i) while neglected earlier works Al/TiB2, elasticity effects properly taken into account...

Boron carbide is one of the hardest materials. The combustion method was used to synthesize B4C-TiB2 nanocomposite powder in a B2O3-Mg-TiO2-C system. An experimental study of the formation of B4C–TiB2 nanoparticles was conducted in the thermal explosion mode. A mixture of B2O3:TiO2:Mg:C at a molecular ratio of 3:1:12:1 was chosen to obtain the B4C–TiB2. This powder mixture was milled for differ...
