颗粒形状对SiCp／LD2复合材料塑性的影响

采用经钝化处理的ＳｉＣ颗粒作为增强体制备的ＳｉＣｐ／ＬＤ２复合材料,与普通ＳｉＣｐ／ＬＤ２相比,材料明显提高了塑性,有限元与拉伸断口的扫描电镜分析表明,材料经Ｔ６处理后,断裂机制以颗粒断裂为主,塑性得以提高的原因主要是颗粒尖角钝化后,降低了尖角处热残余应变集中,并降低了颗粒尖角部在外加应低时断裂的可能性;而材料未经Ｔ６处理时,断裂机制以基体失效为主,塑性提高主要源于尖角处热残余应变集中的降低,因则

几何特征对SiC颗粒增强Al基复合材料力学行为的影响

利用有限元方法建立三维模型分析SiC颗粒在不同形状、不同体积分数和不同尺寸时对Al基复合材料力学行为的影响,并进行拉伸试验研究.结果表明,颗粒形状比颗粒尺寸和颗粒体积分数对材料的应力、应变分布及材料韧性的影响大.颗粒尖角附近有严重的应力集中现象,在外力方向上颗粒端部附近的基体上的应变也有集中现象.随颗粒角度的减小,颗粒的应力很快增大而韧性减小,材料的弹性模量有增大的趋势.随颗粒体积分数的增大,颗粒的应力有减小趋势,材料的弹性模量呈增大趋势.颗粒尺寸较小时(平均尺寸为5 μm),颗粒尺寸对材料的应力及应变的影响小.     

Superplastic behavior of PM SiCp/6061 aluminum alloy composites at high strain rates

The superplastic behavior of a powder-metallurgy processed 6061 Al composite was investigated as a function of SiC content increasing from 0% to 30% at 10% increments over a wide temperature range from 430°C to 610°C. The materials were found to be high-strain-rate superplastic. In the temperature range where grain boundary sliding (GBS) controlled the plastic flow, the strength of the composite was lower than that of the unreinforced matrix alloy even after compensating for grain size and threshold stress. This “particle weakening” was in contrast with the particle strengthening observed in the low temperature range where dislocation climb creep was found to control the plastic flow. In the GBS regime, the strength differential between the materials was a function of SiC content and temperature, which increased with the increase in SiC content and temperature. Strong Mg segregation was detected at interfaces between SiC and Al phases in the composites. Evidence for interfacial reaction reported in the Si₃N₄ reinforced 6061 Al composites could not be detected in the current composites. Extensive formation of whisker-like fibers was observed at the fractured surface of the tensile samples above the critical temperature where particle weakening begins to be exhibited. This result suggests the possibility that partial melting in the solute-enriched region near SiC interfaces is responsible for the particle weakening in the SiC reinforced 6061 Al composite.     

Effect of α-Al2O3 coatings on the interface of Ni/SiC composites prepared by electrodeposition

This paper describes an investigation on the effect of α-Al₂O₃ coating on the interface between nickel and SiC particle. Uniform, dense and well-adhered α-Al₂O₃ coatings were obtained on the surface of SiC particles by sol–gel technology. The nickel-based composites reinforced with α-Al₂O₃-coated SiC particles (CS_p) or uncoated SiC particles (UCS_p) prepared by composite electrodeposition were heated at 600 °C to study the reactivity and the resulting interfaces. The results showed that the Ni/CS_p composites presented excellent thermal stability without interfacial reaction, while nickel silicide formed in the Ni/UCS_p composites. It indicated that high-temperature interfacial reaction between SiC particles and nickel matrix was efficiently inhibited by the α-Al₂O₃ coatings. Moreover, great differences of the local mechanical properties of interfaces were observed by the nanoindentation characterization.

Microstructural,thermal and mechanical characterization of TiB2–SiC composites doped with short carbon fibers

Spark plasma sintering method, at the temperature of 1800 °C under the pressure of 40 MPa for 7 min, was employed for fabrication of TiB₂–SiC-based composites. The influences of short carbon fiber (C_f) addition (2 wt%) on microstructural, mechanical and thermal properties of TiB₂–SiC ceramics were studied. Carbon fiber addition increased the relative density of sintered composite which observed to have direct effect on mechanical and thermal properties. The mechanical properties of composites were measured by nanoindentation method. Hardness and elastic modulus of TiB₂/SiC interfaces in carbon fiber doped composite were measured 27.1 GPa and 445 GPa, respectively, while these values were obtained 24.2 GPa and 422 GPa for carbon-free sample. The thermal diffusivity of samples was measured by laser flash technique (LFT). It was found that TiB₂–SiC–C_f composite has a higher thermal conductivity (55 w/m.K) compared to TiB₂–SiC ceramic with a value of 54.8 w/m.K.

Effect of Particle Size on the Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of SiC-Reinforced Pure Aluminum Composites

This article examined the effects of particle size and extrusion on the microstructures and mechanical properties of SiC particle-reinforced pure aluminum composites produced by powder metallurgy method. It has been shown that both particle size and extrusion have important effects on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the composites. The SiC particles distribute more uniformly when the ratio of the matrix powder size and SiC particle size approaches unity, and the smaller-sized SiC particles tend to cluster easily. The voids are found to coexist with the clustered and large-sized SiC particles, and they significantly decrease the density and mechanical properties of the composites. Extrusion can redistribute the SiC particles in the matrix and decrease the number of pores, thus make the SiC particles distribute more uniformly in the matrix, and enhance the interfacial bonding strength. The decrease in the SiC particle size improves the tensile strength and yield strength, but decreases the ductility of the composites.

In the present study, rheocasting process was adopted to synthesise AZ91D composites reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) particulates. Particle-matrix interfacial reaction, distribution of particles, hardness and mechanical properties of as cast and T4 heat-treated alloy-composites were reported. The rheocast composite materials reveal uniform distribution of SiC particulates. The composite materials show an increase in hardness and elastic modulus compared to unreinforced rheocast alloy.

Microstructures and mechanical properties of Al 2519 matrix composites reinforced with Ti-coated SiC particles

Ti-coated SiC_p particles were developed by vacuum evaporation with Ti to improve the interfacial bonding of SiC_p/Al composites. Ti-coated SiC particles and uncoated SiC particles reinforced Al 2519 matrix composites were prepared by hot pressing, hot extrusion and heat treatment. The influence of Ti coating on microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results show that the densely deposited Ti coating reacts with SiC particles to form TiC and Ti₅Si₃ phases at the interface. Ti-coated SiC particle reinforced composite exhibits uniformity and compactness compared to the composite reinforced with uncoated SiC particles. The microstructure, relative density and mechanical properties of the composite are significantly improved. When the volume fraction is 15%, the hardness, fracture strain and tensile strength of the SiC_p reinforced Al 2519 composite after Ti plating are optimized, which are HB 138.5, 4.02% and 455 MPa, respectively.

Effect of limited matrix–reinforcement interfacial reaction on enhancing the mechanical properties of aluminium–silicon carbide composites

An unconventional approach to strengthening Al/SiC composites through controlled matrix–reinforcement interfacial reactions was studied. Composites with two distinct interfacial microstructures were prepared by varying the contact time between the SiC particles and molten aluminium during processing. The formation of a thin Al₄C₃ reaction layer along the particle–matrix interface was found to increase the composite yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, work-hardening rate and work-to-fracture, and change the fracture pattern from one involving interfacial decohesion to one where particle breakage was dominant. These changes were attributed to a stronger interface bond, which is thought to result from the tendency for the Al₄C₃ reaction layer to form semicoherent interfaces and orientation relationships with the aluminium matrix and SiC particles and for it to be mechanically “keyed-in” to both these phases. The stronger interface bond also enhanced the levels of plastic constraint which, when coupled with the greater work hardening, promoted local matrix failure, thereby reducing the composite ductility.

Fatigue properties of Al–Si casting alloy with cold sprayed Al/SiC coating

Abstract

The fatigue properties of Al–Si alloy cold sprayed Al and Al–SiC composite coatings have been studied. The specimens coated with composites reinforced with a large volume (25%) of fine SiC particles exhibited improved adhesion strength at the interface due to crater formation, and cyclic fatigue lives at room temperature more than three times those of uncoated specimens. In high temperature low cycle fatigue tests at 250°C, the pure Al coatings showed longer fatigue lives than the Al–SiC composite coatings, which is attributed to an increment in ductility at the surface retarding fatigue crack initiation.
