This study details trials to produce aluminium metal matrix composites reinforced with TiC particles by means of a flux-assisted infiltration technique. TiC and mixtures of TiC/flux powders were packed into 6063-aluminium tubes and heated to temperatures between 680 degreesC and 1100 degreesC in an Ar atmosphere. No infiltration of pure TiC beds occurred but the effect of using a K-Al-F flux was dramatic. Full infiltration occurred in less than 15 minutes and at low temperatures, 680 degreesC. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments indicate that only two significant thermal events take place in the process, melting of the flux at approximately 545 degreesC and melting of the aluminium alloy at 630 degreesC. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed TiC-free regions, slight reaction of the TiC to form TiAl3, and in some cases Al4C3, and a random distribution of flux trapped in the aluminum matrix.
