The aluminum corner of the ternary Al-B-Ti diagram was explored. A eutectic: Liq — Al + TiAl3+ (Al, Ti)B2was found at approximately 0.05 wt pct Ti, 0.01 wt pct B; 659.5‡C. TiB2and A1B2form a continuous series of solid solutions, but no distinct ternary phase was found. The addition of boron to aluminum-titanium alloys expands the field of primary crystallization of TiAl3toward lower titanium contents and steepens the liquidus. In equilibrium conditions, pronounced grain refinement is found only in alloys in which TiAl3is primary and nucleates the aluminum solid solution before any other impurity can act. The peritectic reaction facilitates this priority but it is not necessary for grain refinement. Because of the low diffusivity of titanium and boron in aluminum, equilibrium is seldom attained and in commercial practice grain refinement by TiAl3is found also outside its equilibrium field of primary crystallization.
