Abstract: Interaction between high-purity boron nitride (BN) and melted TiNi alloy was studied to determine if BN could be used as crucible material for melting TiNi alloy. A series of interface actions between them were performed for differentmelt temperatures (1 450 °C, 1 520 °C) and different holding times (90 s, 180 s, 270 s, 360 s). These interfaces were then investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction, and electron probe microanalysis. The results showed that TiNi melt was slightly contaminated due to the limited reaction between BN and Ti under the conditions.

Key words: boron nitride, crucibles and refractory
