Abstract
The self propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) process has been used to produce titanium carbide (TiC) particulates that have been subsequently mixed with a 2024 aluminium alloy through the stir casting process. The incorporation of 1 wt.% of particulates provides an increase of the tensile strength. The results obtained in the metallurgical analysis and mechanical tests confirm that the presence of TiC particulates has a positive effect on mechanical properties through different mechanisms such as grain refining and reduction of porosity.
