  • The TiB2/Al composite ingot was prepared by the fluoride salt reaction method, and the TiB2/Al composite powders were prepared by the high pressure gas atomization. The structures and properties of the composite ingot and powders were characterized by metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer, and particle size distribution instrument. The results demonstrate that, the solubility product of TiB2 in Al melt is much smaller than that of the TiAl3 and AlB2 phases in the experiment condition, the change of Gibbs free energy caused by the precipitation of TiB2 from Al melt is more negative than that caused by the precipitation of TiAl3 or AlB2 from Al melt. The TiB2/Al composite ingot and powders are mainly composed of α-Al matrix and TiB2 phase. The TiB2 particles in the TiB2/Al composite powders prepared by gas atomization have nano-scale, and uniformly disperse in the Al matrix, no obvious segregation phenomenon is observed. The size distribution of the TiB2/Al composite powders exhibits a normal state in the range of 10~100 μm. The powder yield with the particle size between 10~70 μm is 81.1%, the yield for the particle larger than 70 μm is 12.6%, and that less than 10 μm is 6.3%.
