Aluminum Titanium Boron Rod is recognized as the best refining flux for aluminum and aluminum alloy, which can prevent the formation of thick equiaxed crystal, columnar crystal and feathered crystal, and improve the mechanical and physical properties of aluminum and aluminum alloy.
The mechanism of action of Aluminum Titanium Boron Rod is closely related to TiAl3 and TiB2. The size and activity of these two initial nucleus are important factors to determine quality of Aluminum Titanium Boron. The smaller the crystal nucleus is, the better quality of Aluminum Titanium Boron, the higher activity is, the more difficult for the particles of TiAl3 and TiB2 are to agglomerate, the more uniform distribution is, the more high-quality Aluminum Titanium Boron master alloy can be obtained. When Aluminum Titanium Boron master alloy are added into the aluminum melting, a large number of heterogeneous nucleation cores are released, which can be used as foreign nucleation during the solidification of the melt and affect the nucleation process of the crystallization, thus refining the alloy grains.At present, the widely used method of Aluminum Titanium Boron master alloy is to add waffle ingot, sticks, CCB(cut casting bar)and on-line runner in launder. Online adding has the advantages of good effect, convenience, economy, flexible adjustment and easy automation.
