| Abstract: | By means of XRD, Instron electronic tensile machine and TEM, the dislocation states and strengthening mechanisms of SiC whisker reinforced pure aluminum matrix composites were studied with different annealing treatment processes and matrixes. The results showed that the strengthening mechanisms of SiC w/p Al composite and SiC w/6061Al composites are different. For the SiC w/p Al composite, the thermal residual stress plays more important role in strengthening than the high density dislocations in matrix; for the SiC w/6061Al composite, the dislocation strengthening and precipitation are main strengthening factors. |
