| 摘 要： | The conventional wisdom is that the distribution and sizes of reinforcements, as well as the bonding strength of the matrix–reinforcement interface tend to be the crucial factors in determining the resulting properties of composites: the optimum mechanical properties are likely to be achieved when fine and thermally stable reinforcing particles are homogeneously distributed in a metal matrix.In this study, in situ AlN–TiN/Al composite ribbons were successfully synthesized through plasma jet and subsequent melt-spinning method. The distribution and sizes of the particles in the ribbon were systematically investigated.The average grain sizes of AlN and TiN in the AlN–TiN/Al composite ribbon are determined to be 27.7 and 29.6 nm,respectively. Moreover, analysis by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) results reveal that, compared with the AlN–TiN/Al bulk composite, particles like AlN and TiN could be far more homogeneously distributed in the matrix of the ribbon counterpart. In addition, the reinforcing effect of in situ nanoparticles, including AlN and TiN, was discussed as well.
