In the present investigation, B is incorporated into the TiO[sub 2]-Al system to constitute the TiO[sub 2]-B-Al system. According to the investigation on the Ti-B-Al system, it is expected that the Ti displaced from the reaction between TiO[sub 2] and Al reacts with B to form TiB[sub 2] instead of Al to form Al[sub 3]Ti. TiB[sub 2] is a more effective reinforcement than Al[sub 2]O[sub 3], so the properties of the composite can be improved through addition of B. Such an investigation has not been reported to date.
