Abstract
In this study, the primary Mg2Si phase was modified by the addition of TiB2 to Al-15 % Mg2Si composites. The effect of TiB2 on the morphology, size and refinement mechanism of the primary Mg2Si phase was investigated. The results show that TiB2 has an obvious refining effect on the primary Mg2Si phase, and the average size of the primary Mg2Si particles is reduced from 55.11 μm to 25.18 μm. The refinement mechanism is that TiB2 promotes heterogeneous nucleation of the primary Mg2Si phase. After refinement, the wear resistance of the composites was significantly improved.
