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, TiB2 grain refiner particles are added to the melt in order to promote heterogeneous nucleation of α-Al crystallites. It has been suggested that thin Al3Ti DO22 layers, adsorbed on the boride particles, might be necessary for successful α-Al nucleation via the peritectic...
