原位白生A356．TiB2一La复合材料组织性能研究Research 原位白生A356．TiB2一La复合材料组织性能研究 Research on Structures and Properties of In--situ A356--TiB2-·La composites Abstract In—situ A356一TiB2 composites have been found a great deal of application in the automotive and aerospace industries by virtue of combining excellent properties．As the matrix alloy ofthe composites，components made ofA356 alloy are normally formed by shape casting and hence their mechanical properties depend primarily on as—cast microstructures，which consists of undesirable coarse 0【一AI dendrites and platelet—like Si particles．It is of great significance to further improve the mechanical properties of the composites by improving the as—cast structures of the A356 matrix alloy via grain refinement and eutectic modification． In this paper，a re·melting and diluting(RD)approach was adopted to fabricate the in-situ A356—2．5 wt．％TiB2 composites．The effects of La on the grain refinement and eutectic modification were investigated．The results demonstrated that the addition of La can not only refine the second dendrite arm space(SDAS)oftheⅡ-AI grains，but also modify the eutectic Si particles into fibrous ones．Due to the distinct addition of La for grain refinement and modification，it shows a bimodal effect on the mechanical properties of the composites．The optimum La addition for grain refinement and eutectic modification is 0，1 0 wt，％La and 0．80 Ⅲ．％，respectively．With 0．1 0 wt．％La refined，the SDAS ofthe a-A1 grains was reduced from 3 1．53／am to 20．74 gm，recording a 34．20％reduction．On the other hand，with 0．80 wt．％La modified，the coarse lamellar eutectic Si was changed into fine，globular／fibrous particles， achieving full modification。With full modification，the mean area and aspect ratio of the eutectic Si particles was reduced from 6．45 gm2 and 3．39 to 2．61 gm2 and 1．82．respectively． Atier T6 temper，the eutectic Si particles were coarsened and spheroidized and the mean area and aspect ratio was decreased from 9．61 lam2 and 2．5 1 to 4
