Abstract

The effect of SiO2 and Al2O3 oxide ceramic nanoparticles on the solidification of model samples based on a commercial D16 alloy is studied. The composite samples are fabricated by reaction casting when titanium, nickel, and ceramic powders are mixed with an aluminum melt. The grain size in a matrix, the size and shape of Al3Ti intermetallic inclusions, and the interphase distances in eutectics are determined with optical and scanning electron microscopes. A certain modifying effect of oxide ceramic nanoparticles on the structure of model CMs during their in situ formation is detected, and the inoculation effect of SiO2 added to a melt on the reaction products is most pronounced.
