RT Conference Proceedings T1 Development and characterization of a 2024 aluminium alloy reinforced with TiC particulates produced by SHS A1 Egizabal, P. A1 Merchan, M. A1 De Cortazar, M. Garcia A1 Torregaray, A. A1 Jimbert, P. AB 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.
