Abstract

In-situ titanium alloy matrix composites were fabricated by melting-casting method and the effect of B content on microstructure and abrasive property of TiC/Ti6Al4V composites was studied.The results show that the average grain size of dendritic TiC in the composites is remarkably refined when the addition content of B is less than 0.06%(mass fraction).TiC dendrite gradually changes into small dendrite or even granular from coarse dendrite,but the abrasive property is obviously reduces with the increasing of B content.When B content further increases form 0.1% to 0.6%,the dendritic TiC can not be refined obviously,the fibre-shape TiB appears and the abrasive property of composites is improved.The refinement mechanism of boron is attributed to the combined effects of the increasing in nucleation rate at the constitutional supercooling zone ahead of the solidification front and the reduction in growth rate.The improvement of its abrasive property is attributed to the present of fibre-shape TiB during the abrasiving.
