Investigation of the interfaces between boride particles and aluminium in the as-received and re-melted Ti-B-Al grain refiner master alloy

In the Al casting industry, TiB grain refiner particles are added to the melt in order to promote heterogeneous nucleation of α-Al crystallites. It has been suggested that thin AlTi DO layers, adsorbed on the boride particles, might be necessary for successful α-Al nucleation via the peritectic reac...
