摘要
Solvent refining of Al-Si-B alloy samples with different amounts of Ti additions are carried out, which confirms a high B removal rate with excessive Ti addition. An apparent segregation coefficient is introduced to characterize the segregation between primary Si and Al-Si melt, which are determined to be 0.0471 with 575 ppma Ti addition at the cooling rate of 50 mK.s(-1). Temperature dependence of X-Ti(l) X-in Al-Si melt(B(l))2 (in Al-Si melt), individual Ti and B contents in the Al 29.3at.%Si melt from 1323 to 1123 K are calculated. It proves that TiB2 precipitates before the primary Si formation, which causes the decrease of B contents in the Al-Si melt and contributes to the high B removal rate. Moreover, BSE/SEM observation of TiB2 and (Al,Ti,Si) phase indicates a new competitive reaction mechanism in Al-Si-Ti-B system. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
