Aging behavior of Al2O3 short fiber reinforced Al-Cu alloy composites

Al2O3 short fiber reinforced AI-Cu composites containing 1%, 3%, 5% and 7% Cu were fabricated by a squeeze casting technique. The as-cast Al2O3/Al-Cu composites were solution treated at 535 ℃ and then aged at 170, 190 and 210 ℃, respectively. Age hardening behavior of the Al2O3/Al-Cu composites was analyzed by measuring the hardness of the samples at different aging temperatures and aging time. Microstructures of the composites were observed by transmission electron microscope（TEM）. The results indicate that the hardness of the Al2O3/Al-Cu composites containing 7% Cu is much higher than that containing 1%-5% Cu because of the large amount of CuAl2 precipitant in the Al2O3/Al-Cu composite. With the increase of Cu content from 1% to 7%, the time needed for the appearance of peak hardness shortened, indicating that the addition of Cu can accelerate the kinetic of CuAl2 precipitation in the Al2O3/Al-Cu composites. The Al2O3/Al-Cu composite containing 7% Cu shows the highest increment of hardness by aging treatment. Therefore, in order to get a higher peak hardness, the Al2O3/Al-Cu composites need more Cu addition as compared with the un-reinforced Al-Cu alloys.     

Preparation of three-dimensional braided carbon fiber reinforced mullite composites from a sol with high solid content

To prepare the three-dimensional braided carbon fiber reinforced mullite (3D C/mullite) composites, an Al₂O₃-SiO₂ sol with a solid content of 20% (mass fraction) and an Al₂O₃/SiO₂ mass ratio of 2:1 was selected as the raw material. Characteristics and mullitization of the sol were analyzed throughly. It is found that the formation of mullite is basically completed at 1300 °C and the gel powders exhibit favorable sintering shrinkage. The 3D C/mullite composites without interfacial coating were fabricated through the route of vacuum impregnation-drying-heat treatment. Satisfied mechanical properties with a flexural strength of 241.2 MPa and a fracture toughness of 10.9 MPa·m^1/2 are obtained although the total porosity reaches 26.0%. Oxidation resistances of the composites at 1200, 1400 and 1600 °C were investigated. Due to the further densification of matrix, the 3D C/mullite composites show tiny mass loss and their mechanical properties are well retained after oxidation at 1600 °C for 30 min.     

Aging characteristics of short mullite fiber reinforced Al-4.0Cu-1.85Mg metal matrix composite

Mullite short fiber reinforced Al-4.0Cu-1.85Mg composite and its base alloy were fabricated by squeeze casting. The age-hardening behavior, precipitation procedure, microstructure of dislocation and precipitates, and the interfacial structure have been studied by means of hardness measurement (HB), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and analytical transmission electron microscope (ATEM), respectively. The short mullite fiber in the composite induces high dislocation density in the near vicinity of the interface after it is solutionized and quenched in ice water, and suppresses or delays the formation of GPB zones. The aged hardness of the composite is always higher than that of its base alloy, but there appears little difference between the time needed in the composite and in the base alloy to reach the peak hardness, which means that the acceleration effect of mullite fiber in the precipitation of Al-Cu-Mg alloy is not great enough. Mg also reacts with Al and SiO₂, resulting in the formation of spinel (MgAl₂O₄), which depletes Mg in the matrix and finally hinders the aging acceleration in the testing composite.
