摘要
A gas atomization process has been explored to enhance the microstructure and grain refining performance of Al-5Ti- 1B master alloy. The results indicate that a gas atomization process has evidently alleviated the aggregation tendency of TiB, particles and refined TiAl3 particles, resulting in a fine uniform dispersion of TiB2 and TiAl3 particles. Grain refining performance tests showed that the gas atomized Al-5Ti- 1B master alloy effectively refined the average grain size of commercial purity Al from 2500 mu m to 183 mu m after 2 min of its inoculation, and the average grain size remained at 229 mu m after inoculation for 180 min. The gas atomized Al-5Ti- 1B master alloy demonstrated a much better grain refining efficiency and higher anti-fading ability than that of the as-cast Al-5Ti- 1B master alloy.
