RT null T1 Al-TiB2: Un materiau alternatif pour des applications resistant a l'usure et aux hautes temperatures dans l'industrie du transfert T2 Al-TiB2Alternative material for wear- And high-temperature resistant applications in the transport industry A1 Goni, J. A1 Egizabal, P. A1 Coleto, J. A1 Poutier, M. A. A1 Guridi, J. R. AB Results obtained in a study of real-life possibilities, process optimization and mechanical properties of aluminum metal matrix composites reinforced by particles of ceramic TiB2 are presented and discussed. Vehicle and train components have been made of those materials by gravity molding, high-pressure casting and the so-called Pultipouring process. The results have been analyzed and evaluated from the standpoint of casting and mechanical properties. Reinforcement resulted in a significant improvement and the presence of TiB2 made the alloy thixotropic, which had a positive effect on the process.
