摘要
In-situ TiB2 particles reinforced 2014 aluminum alloy composite was prepared using an exothermic reaction process with K2TiF6 and KBF4 salts. The effects of CeO2 additive on the microstructure and properties of in-situ TiB2/2014 composite were investigated. The results showed that CeO2 at high temperature exhibits the same function as Ce. When 0.5% （mass fraction） CeO2 additive was added, the dispersion of TiB2 particles in the matrix is improved significantly, and particles have no obvious settlement. The dispersing mechanism of TiB2 particles in 2014 Al alloy matrix was explained. Compared with the composite without CeO2, the hardness, tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the composite with CeO2 addition are greatly increased in as-cast condition.
将K2TiF6和KBF4混合盐与铝合金熔体通过放热反应法制备原位TiB2颗粒增强2014铝合金基复合材料。研究CeO2添加剂对原位TiB2/2014铝基复合材料显微组织和力学性能的影响。结果表明,在高温时添加CeO2与添加Ce的作用相同;当添加0.5%CeO2时,TiB2颗粒在基体中的分散性大幅度提高,颗粒与基体的界面清晰,在复合材料制备过程中颗粒没有明显的沉降现象。解释了TiB2颗粒在2014铝合金基体中的分散机理。加入CeO2的复合材料,其铸态硬度、抗拉强度、屈服强度和伸长率有较大提高。
