Abstract

Abstract A new aluminothermic combustion synthesis route to TiB 2 -Al 2 O 3 composite was found, using the reactants 2Al 2 O 3 ·B 2 O 3 (Al 4 B 2 O 9 ), TiO 2 , and Al. Microwave-driven combustion of these reactants in inert atmosphere yielded TiB 2 + Al 2 O 3 as the only products detected by X-ray diffraction analysis. The aluminoborate reactant is not moisture-sensitive or water-soluble, unlike boron-containing oxide reactants used previously.
