Abstract:
The new refiner-AlTiBRE master alloy was prepared by using the technique of fluorid salts, and its element proportion was optimized by means of orthogonal experiment. At the same time, the analyses of microstructure and component of refining phases in the master alloy were studied with help of OM, SEM, EDAX and XRD. The results indicated that the proportion of the elements in AlTiBRE master alloy had significant effect on the distribution of refining particles and Ti had the most obvious effect. The distribution form of refining phase particles was improved further when elements component in the master alloy is 5%Ti, 1%B and 0.5% RE. The TiAl 3 phase was fine and distributed homogeneously in the molten aluminum, thus improving refinement effect of the refiner further. In addition, the function of RE in the preparation of the refiner was studied. Results showed that RE mainly impeded the accumulation of TiB 2 and TiAl 3 in molten aluminum and refined the grains of TiB 2 and TiAl 3. At the same time, RE can purify the master alloy to some extent during the process of melting, thus ensuring the metallurgical quality of molten master alloy.
