Directed melt oxidation and nitridation of aluminium alloys: a comparison

Synthesis and characterization of in situ Al–AlN composite by nitrogen gas bubbling method

“…4 and 7), as soon as the AlN forms it gets agglomerated forming interconnected AlN. This interconnected AlN structure has also been reported by Hou et al [6] and Daniel and Murthy [19].…”

Aluminum nanocomposites for elevated temperature applications

“…The liquid-gas reaction process allows one to manufacture a wide range of matrix materials (aluminum, titanium, copper, nickel, and iron), and secondary phases (nitrides, borides, carbides, oxides, and their mixtures). 9,10 Liquid-gas processing approaches where the gas is in direct contact with the melt surface have been reported; [8][9][10][11][12] direct melt oxidation (DIMOX) and direct melt nitridation (PRIMEX) follow the liquid-gas reaction approach; however the melt is in a static/fl owing gas environment. 10,11 Gas injection, which is the process we have developed and refi ned, differs from direct melt reaction techniques in that the synthesis of the reinforcement is not limited to the surface of the melt, but occurs throughout the depth of the melt.…”

Direct melt reaction techniques such as DIMOX and PRIMOX are suitable for singular phase reinforced composites, whereas a large number of reinforcing constituwww.tms.org/jom.html ents can be formed with the gas injection method.…”

Development and characterization of low-silicon cast aluminum alloys for thermal dissipation

“…In contrast, the white blurs are rarely observed on the surface of ADC12 alloy. It has been reported that several volatile elements such as Mg and Zn induce rapid oxidation in aluminum melts by forming a porous oxide on surface [56]. The aluminum oxide in aluminum alloy melts has almost no buoyancy [57].…”
