Effect of Preparation Parameter on Microstructure and Grain Refining Behavior of In Situ AlN-TiN-TiB2/Al Composite Inoculants on Pure Aluminum

The formation of in situ AlN-TiN-TiB2/Al composite inoculants, which contain multi-phase refiner particles including AlN, TiN, TiB2, Al3Ti, and α-Al, was investigated using nitrogen gas injection. The effects of the main preparation parameters such as nitriding temperature, nitriding time, Ti conten...
