Abstract-SHS technique and conventional melting and casting technology were combined and used for the preparation of AlTi-C grain refiner alloy. Experimental results show that when SHS reaction occurs to the Al, Ti and C powder reactant in Al melt and the composition proportion factor, n , is between 4 and 10, the effect of composition on the initial temperature of SHS reaction is small and its initial temperature ranges from 810 to 815℃. However, the highest temperature of the melt increases with increasing n values and increases gradually from 845 to 1370℃. In the meantime, when the composition proportion factor for Al, Ti and C powder reactant, n, is greater than 5.95, its adiabatic temperature T d >1800K which conforms to the empirical criterion proposed by Merzhanov et al. The SHS reaction of reactant can accomplish by selfmaintenance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
