SiC颗粒增强铝合金基梯度复合材料拉伸力学性能及其评价

对SiC颗粒增强铝合金基梯度复合材料的拉伸力学性能进行了研究。提出了一种新的材料力学性能评价指标——梯度系数K_x。理论研究表明,金属基梯度复合材料(MMGC)各组分性能的差异使其在拉伸变形时产生了三轴应力。实验及断口分析表明,由拉伸试验获得的材料平均力学性能指标弹性模量E和屈服强度σ_0.2近似符合ROM法则;此类材料的拉伸力学性能受SiC颗粒梯度分布方式的影响。外层为基体,芯部为高SiC含量的材料拉伸断口具有韧性断裂特征,能发挥其性能优势。反之,断口表现出脆性断裂特征,降低了材料的力学性能;受多种因素影响,裂纹穿过层间界面时,会引起断裂方式和扩展方向的改变。当梯度层间SiC颗粒体积分数相差较大时,材料会产生分层开裂;梯度系数K_σb和K_δ可反映材料的梯度分布方式和性能的优劣程度,梯度系数K_E则反映了材料性能的稳定性程度。

Microstructure and mechanical properties of SiC nanoparticles reinforced magnesium matrix composites fabricated by ultrasonic vibration

A particulate reinforced magnesium matrix nanocomposite was fabricated by ultrasonic vibration. Compared with as-cast AZ91 alloy, grain size of matrix in the SiCp/AZ91 nanocomposite decreased and morphology of phase Mg₁₇Al₁₂ varied from coarse plates to lamellar precipitates. Although there were still some SiC microclusters in the nanocomposite, most of the SiC nanoparticles were dispersed well outside the microclusters. The ultimate tensile strength, yield strength and elongation to fracture of the SiCp/AZ91 nanocomposite were simultaneously enhanced compared with that of the AZ91 alloy. The study of interface between the SiC nanoparticles and the matrix in the nanocomposite suggested that SiC nanoparticles bonded well with the matrix without interfacial activity.     

Fabrication of SiC particles-reinforced magnesium matrix composite by ultrasonic vibration

Magnesium matrix composites reinforced with two volume fractions (1 and 3%) of SiC particles (1 μm) were successfully fabricated by ultrasonic vibration. Compared with as-cast AZ91 alloy, with the addition of the SiC particles grain size of matrix decreased, while most of the phase Mg₁₇Al₁₂ varied from coarse plates to lamellar precipitates in the SiCp/AZ91 composites. With increasing volume fraction of the SiC particles, grains of matrix in the SiCp/AZ91 composites were gradually refined. The SiC particles were located mainly at grain boundaries in both 1 vol% SiCp/AZ91 composite and 3 vol% SiCp/AZ91 composite. SiC particles inside the particle clusters may be still separated by magnesium. The study of the interface between the SiC particle and the alloy matrix suggested that SiC particles bonded well with the alloy matrix without interfacial reaction. The ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation to fracture of the SiCp/AZ91 composites were simultaneously improved compared with that of the as-cast AZ91 alloy.     

Conditions for matrix crack deflection at an interface in ceramic matrix composites

This paper describes a numerical approach developed to simulate the mechanism of matrix crack deflection at the fibre/matrix interface in brittle matrix composites. For this purpose, the fracture behaviour of a unit cell (microcomposite) consisting of a single fibre surrounded by a cylindrical tube of matrix was studied with the help of a finite element model. A fracture mechanics approach was used to design a criterion for deflection at the fibre/matrix interface of an annular crack present in the matrix. The analysis of the fracture behaviour of SiC/SiC and SiC/glass ceramics microcomposites shows that the introduction of a low modulus and low toughness interfacial layer at the fibre/matrix interface (e.g. a carbon coating) greatly favours matrix crack deflection at the interphase/fibre interface.     

Effect of submicron size SiC particles on microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ31B magnesium matrix composites

The magnesium matrix composites reinforced with three volume fractions (3, 5 and 10 vol.%) of submicron-SiC particles (∼0.5 μm) were fabricated by semisolid stirring assisted ultrasonic vibration method. With increasing the volume fraction of the submicron SiC particles (SiCp), the grain size of matrix in the SiCp/AZ31B composites was gradually decreased. Most of the submicron SiC particles exhibited homogeneous distribution in the SiCp/AZ31B composites. The ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of the 10 vol.% SiCp/AZ31B composites were simultaneously improved. The study of interface between the submicron SiCp and the matrix in the SiCp/AZ31B composite suggested that submicron SiCp bonded well with the matrix without interfacial activity.

SiCw/Al复合材料的界面

本文研究了SiCw/Al金属基复合材料的界面问题。用俄歇电子谱仪(AES)对断口表面和对它进行溅射剥层后分析的结果表明SiC晶须与基体Al结合良好。通过透射电镜和X射线能谱观测,没有发现界面反应层存在的迹象。分析表明既没有C、Si元素通过界面向基体中的扩散,也没有Al通过界面向晶须中的扩散。X射线衍射试验结果进一步证实了这一点。研究还表明SiC晶须与其周围的Al基体可能存在某种位向关系。

Compressive behaviour of SiC/ncsc reinforced Mg composite processed through powder metallurgy route

In this present work nano coconut shell charcoal (ncsc) and silicon carbide (SiC) particulates were reinforced with AZ31B Mg alloy and suitable magnesium composite was developed by using the powder metallurgy technique followed by hot extrusion. Density measurement of the Mg composites revealed that the addition of ncsc significantly improved the density of the composites and porosity measurement showed minimal porosity. The microstructure of the composites showed even distribution of the ncsc in the AZ31B/3SiC Mg composite. The compressive and impact behaviour of the samples were characterized, the results showed that on increasing the weight percentage of ncsc in AZ31B/3SiC/0.5ncsc Mg composites the mechanical properties such as ultimate compressive strength, 0.2% yield strength, ductility and impact strength decreased. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis of fractured surface of AZ31B Mg alloy and AZ31B/3SiC/0.5ncsc Mg composites showed quasi-cleavage fracture. The presence of ncsc above 0.5 wt% composites revealed mixture of quasi cleavage planes and some dimples.

在气相渗硅制备C_f/SiC复合材料时,界面改性涂层非常重要。良好的界面改性涂层一方面起到保护碳纤维不受Si反应侵蚀的作用,另一方面起到调节纤维和基体界面结合状况。通过在C纤维表面制备CVD-SiC涂层来进行界面改性,研究CVD-SiC界面改性涂层对GSI C_f/SiC复合材料力学性能和断裂特征的影响,并分析其影响机制。结果表明:无CVD-SiC涂层改性的C_f/SiC复合材料力学性能较差,呈现脆性断裂特征,其强度、模量和断裂韧度分别为87.6MPa,56.9GPa,2.1MPa·m1/2。随着CVD-SiC涂层厚度的增加,C_f/SiC复合材料的弯曲强度、模量和断裂韧度呈现先升高后降低的趋势,CVD-SiC涂层厚度为1.1μm的C_f/SiC复合材料的力学性能最好,其弯曲强度、模量和断裂韧度分别为231.7MPa,87.3GPa,7.3MPa·m1/2。厚度适中的CVD-SiC界面改性涂层的作用机理主要体现在载荷传递、"阻挡"Si的侵蚀、"调节"界面结合状态3个方面。     

Study on fracture behavior of particulate reinforced magnesium matrix composite using in situ SEM

The fracture behavior of SiCp/AZ91 magnesium matrix composite fabricated by stir casting is investigated using the in situ SEM technique. Experimental results show that (1) the dominant microcrack nucleation mode is interface decohesion in particle-dense regions because of the weak interface formed during the solidification process of the composite and large stress concentrations caused by particle segregation, (2) microcracks coalesce by the failure of matrix ligaments between microcracks while additional microcracks are initiated in the particle-dense region ahead of the coalesced microcracks, and (3) cracks propagate by coalescence of microcracks or along the particle/matrix interface. And so we come to the conclusion that the fracture mechanism of SiCp/AZ91 composite is interface-controlled. The in situ SEM observations are verified by complementary SEM studies of the fractured specimens of conventional tensile tests. And so, the in situ SEM observations can be qualitative representation on the fracture behavior of bulk SiCp/AZ91 composite.
