In this work, the effects of ultrasonic treatment on in-situ ZrB2 particle-reinforced AA4032-based composites were studied. The composites were synthesized from AleK2ZrF6eKBF4 system via an in-situ melt reaction. The phase composition, macrostructure characteristics, hardness and tensile properties of the composites were investigated. The results showed that the addition of in-situ submicron ZrB2 particles into the composites resulted in grain refinement, and the increased hardness and tensile properties. The ultrasonic treatment effectively enhanced the uniformity of in-situ ZrB2 distribution, which further enhanced the structure and mechanical properties of the composites. The mechanisms of the ultrasonic treatment in the improvement of in-situ particle distribution and mechanical properties of the composites were discussed.
