Abstract

In situ Al3Ti particle reinforced 2024Al alloy matrix composites (Al3Ti/2024Al) were prepared by ultrasonic casting. Effects of in-situ Al3Ti particle content on the microstructure, hardness, tensile performance and wear resistance of Al3Ti/2024Al composites were investigated. The results indicate that with the increase of Al3Ti content, grain in the composites prepared is refined gradually. When the Al3Ti content is more than 12%, the density of the composites is decreased significantly. The hardness of the matrix and composites is increased with the increase of Al3Ti content. The yield strength and tensile strength of Al3Ti/2024Al with 8% Al3Ti composites reach 357 MPa and 446 MPa, improved by 38.5% and 39.8% compared with those of as cast 2024Al alloy, respectively. The wear resistance of the composites prepared is increased with increasing in Al3Ti content.
