AA5052/ZrB 2 composites with different volume percent (ie 0, 3, 6, 9 and 10 vol.%) ZrB 2
particles were developed by in-situ reaction of molten AA5052 alloy with two inorganic salts …

AA6061-TiC composites were developed by in situ reaction of molten AA6061 alloy with
potassium hexafluorotitanate salt and pure graphite at a temperature of 900° C. The in situ …

In situ Al–TiC (5, 10 and 15wt%) composites were produced by using a reaction mixture of
K2TiF6 and graphite powder with molten metal. The effect of ceramic particulate addition on …
