Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China 25(2015) 677−682 Synthesis of Al−SrB composite via powder metallurgy processing 6 Yucel BIROL Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Dokuz Eylul University, Buca 35390, Izmir, Turkey Received 1 April 2014; accepted 18 June 2014 Abstract: The potential of powder metallurgy processing for the manufacture of Al−SrB composites was explored. Al Sr particles 6 4 fractured extensively during the ball milling of Al−15Sr/Al−4B powder mixtures. There was no interaction between the Al4Sr and AlB compounds across the section of the aluminium grains in the as-milled state. SrB formed, when the ball milled powder blends 2 6 were subsequently annealed at sufficiently high temperatures. Ball milling for 1 h was sufficient for SrB6 to become the major constituent in powder blends annealed at 700 °C while it took 2 h of ball milling for powder blends annealed at 600 °C. Higher annealing temperatures and longer ball milling time encouraged the formation of the SrB6 compound while the latter made a great impact on the microstructural features of the Al−SrB6 composite. The SrB6 compound particles were much smaller and more uniformly distributed across the aluminium matrix grains in powder grains ball milled for 2 h before the annealing treatments at 600 °C and 700 °C.
