In-situ molten salt reaction and incorporation of small (10 nm) TiC nanoparticles into Al

Incorporation of SiC Ceramic Nanoparticles into the Aluminum Matrix by a Novel Method: Production of a Metal Matrix Composite

“…Also, lower than 1 wt% nanoparticles as well as 3 wt% of carrier agents will be examined. It is notable that in a nanoparticle-reinforced composite, the interface effect always plays an important role, which leads to a size-dependent behavior of mechanical properties [47,48,49]. In the current research, nanoparticles with a given size of 70 nm are used.…”

Geoinspired syntheses of materials and nanomaterials

“…Carbides can also be produced in molten salts. The reported syntheses rely on alkali or alkaline earth halides as reaction media enabling the use of temperatures as high as 1300 1C, to deliver a wide range of binary metal carbides as well as multinary compounds such as Cr 3 AlC, Ti 3 AlC 2 and (Ta 0.25 Nb 0.25 Ti 0.25 V 0.25 )C. 6,[216][217][218][219][220][221][222][223] The carbon source is elemental carbon in various forms, such as graphite, nanotubes, and nanodiamonds, 222 but can also be polymers. The metal precursor can be metal salts, elemental metal, or metal oxides.…”

Application of different powdered forms of carbon for reinforcement of aluminum matrix composite materials by carbon and titanium carbide. А review

“…Например, в сочетании с порошками титана и алюминия в процессе механического легирования происходит in situ образование карбидной фазы со средним размером частиц около 22-23 нм [69]. Интересна возможность синтеза наноразмерного карбида титана в расплаве алюминия также in situ посредством проведения реакции между наноалмазами (размером 3-10 нм) и солями K 2 TiF 6 , KAlF 4 , которая позволяет получать композиты с микротвердостью более 100 HV [70].…”
