Fabrication of AIN-TiC/Al composites by gas injection processing

The fabrication of AlN-TiC/Al composites by carbon- and nitrogen-containing gas injection into Al-Mg-Ti melts was studied. It was shown that AlN and TiC particles could be formed by the in situ reaction of mixture gas （N2 ＋ C2H2 ＋ NH3） with Al-Mg-Ti melts. The condition for the formation of AlN was that the treatment temperature must be higher than 1373 K, and the amounts of AlN and TiC increased with the increase of the treatment temperature and the gas injection time It was considered that AlN was formed by the direct reaction of Al with nitrogen-containing gas at the interface of the gas bubble and the melt. However, the mechanism of TiC formation is a combination mechanism of solution-precipitation and solid-liquid reaction.

WCp/Fe metal matrix composites produced by laser melt injection

Laser melt injection (LMI) was used to produce WC particles (WC_p) reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) layer on the mild steel. During the LMI process, different parameters were applied, and the processing window of this technique was obtained. The MMCs layers were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM result reveals that none macro-defects except few pores can be found in the MMCs layer, and the WC_p distribute uniformly in the layer. In addition, some new phases can be found in the MMCs layer, where Fe₃W₃C is the predominant phase. At the same time, the amount of dissolved WC_p plays a key role in the microstructure of the MMCs layer. The WC particle dissolved into the melt pool leads to the appearance of reaction products in the matrix, such as various primary Fe₃W₃C dendrites, and the liquid WC remained on the solid WC particle results in the formation of a thicker reaction layer.
