摘要
The TiNw-AINp/Al composite has been successfully fabricated by gas-liquid reaction method in an intensive electromagnetic mixing and casting in an appropriate cooling condition. The as-cast samples of the composite exhibit a homogeneous distribution of TiNw and AINp, and the in situ formed TiN whisker has a mean diameter of 0.5 μm and mean aspect ratio of 5.8~7.5, and the diameter of the AIN particulates is less than 5 μm. TEM observation indicates that there exist some submicron and nanometer sized in situ formed TiNw-AINp in α-Al matrix. The formation mechanism of in situ formed TiNw and AINp is also discussed
