Description
The Al-Ti-B grain refiner is a key additive in the aluminium alloy melting and casting process, mainly used to refine the grain structure of aluminium alloys and improve the mechanical properties and processing performance of the material. The Al-Ti-B grain refiner is a master alloy formed on an aluminium matrix by adding titanium (Ti) and boron (B) elements. Titanium (Ti) reacts with aluminium to form the TiAl3 phase, while boron (B) combines with titanium to form TiB2 particles. These particles act as substrates for heterogeneous nucleation, significantly increasing the grain nucleation rate and ultimately achieving grain refinement. The Al-Ti-B production process includes: melting, alloying treatment, slag skimming, casting and rolling, coiling, aluminium dross treatment, etc. This dataset covers the main raw and auxiliary materials, energy consumption, waste treatment and related atmospheric emissions of the production process, but does not include the production of transport equipment and the like, or the direct or indirect greenhouse gas emissions caused by personnel travel and daily office work during production. The inventory is integrated from multiple sources and has been revised according to expert opinion and the best available information.
Activity Description
Al-Ti-B Grain Refiner is a key additive in the aluminum alloy casting process. It is mainly used to refine the aluminum alloy grain structure and improve the material's mechanical properties and processing performance. Aluminum titanium boron refiner is an intermediate alloy formed by adding titanium (Ti) and boron (B) elements based on aluminum. Titanium (Ti) reacts with aluminum to form the TiAl3 phase, and boron (B) combines with titanium to form TiB2 particles. These particles serve as the substrate for heterogeneous nucleation, significantly improving the grain nucleation rate and ultimately achieving grain refinement. The production process of aluminum titanium boron includes: smelting, alloying treatment, slag removal, casting and rolling, curling, aluminum ash treatment, etc.
