The distribution and sizes of the particles in the ribbon were systematically investigated.The average grain sizes of AlN and TiN in the AlN–TiN/Al composite ribbon are determined to be 27.7 and 29.6 nm,respectively. Moreover, analysis by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) results reveal that, compared with the AlN–TiN/Al bulk composite, particles like AlN and TiN could be far more homogeneously distributed in the matrix of the ribbon counterpart. In addition, the reinforcing effect of in situ nanoparticles, including AlN and TiN, was discussed as well.展开更多
