4. Conclusions
- -
- The synthesis temperature in 1000 g of the Al–Ti–B system powder was 200 °C higher than that in 20 g samples synthesized in laboratory conditions;
- -
- The final product did not differ from that obtained in laboratory conditions, and consisted of the Al matrix and TiB2 ceramic particles. There were, however, Al3Ti intermetallic particles, probably due to the semi-industrial conditions of the SHS process;
- -
- The growth in the SHS temperature provided the increase in the larger average size of TiB2 particles from 0.4 to 0.6 µm, as compared to that of the laboratory samples;
- -
- SHS-produced composite was comminuted to 42.3 µm particles, which were fragmented and had the structure inherited from the Al–TiB2 composite;
- -
- The obtained powder can be used as the main raw material or additive in SLS, vacuum sintering, and hot pressing.
