The In-situ composite of metal matrix AA6063-xTiC (x = 0 wt. %, 3wt. %, 6 wt. %, 9 wt. %) were mixed with particulates of Tic, were synthesized by the reaction of K 2 TiF 6 and graphite with aluminum melt at 1000°C. These composites were heat treated differently to form various sets like solution zed and solution zed-aged, where they were compared with as-cast composites for erosive wear performance by testing pot type slurry-erosive wear device, respectively. This study showed an increase in wear resistance for slurry erosion upon solution zed-aged heat treatment and with a rise of Tic particulates.
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.
