摘要
High-intensity ultrasound was applied during the preparation of an Al-5Ti-1B master alloy when reacting fluoride salts with molten Al. The reaction rate was significantly increased with TiB2 particles of much reduced mean diameter and narrow width spread produced in similar to 4 minutes. The improved grain refining performance of the TiB2 in a commercial purity Al was studied and modelled using free growth model. The increased number and reduced size of TiB2 particles provided an enhanced grain refining capability.
