Microscopic examination of the interface region in AC8A/Al18B4O33w composites reinforced with as-received and artificial nitrided Al18B4O33 whiskers

Aimed to control the interfacial reaction in Al₁₈B₄O₃₃/Al composites, the artificial nitridation process is proposed based on thermodynamic calculations, which leads to a 50-nm thick artificial nitrided coating surrounding a Al₁₈B₄O₃₃ whisker. Aluminum (AC8A) matrix composites reinforced with different Al₁₈B₄O₃₃ whiskers were processed and Al₁₈B₄O₃₃ whiskers were used in their as-received form and after artificial nitridation. The interface region between the aluminum matrix and Al₁₈B₄O₃₃ was charactered using transmission electron microscopy. Results show that extensive reaction takes place during the incorporation process between the as-received Al₁₈B₄O₃₃ whiskers and the aluminum matrix and Mg in the base alloy forms MgAl₂O₄ spinel phases. Such interfacial reaction is enhanced after T6 heat treatment. In the case of artificially nitrided Al₁₈B₄O₃₃ whiskers, even though the artificial nitrided coating surrounds the Al₁₈B₄O₃₃ whisker, it can react with the AC8A alloy to produce MgAl₂O₄, but the degree of the interfacial reaction is reduced. The interfacial reaction only consumes the artificial nitrided coating instead of the reinforcement whiskers and the integrity of the whisker is preserved.     

Interfacial reaction and its effect on strength of Al18 B4O33 /Al composites

Abstract

Aluminium alloy 6061, AC8A, Al–1Mg, Al–9Cu and pure aluminium composites reinforced with aluminium borate whiskers were fabricated by a squeeze casting process. The interfacial reaction in the composites and its effect on the bending strength are discussed, together with the results from SEM, TEM, and X-ray diffraction. A slight interfacial reaction is favourable for composite strength as it has the effect of anchoring the whiskers. A T6 treatment can enhance the strength of an Al–9Cu matrix composite, but is not efficient for magnesium containing 6061 and AC8A matrix composites. Furthermore, if heated at temperatures higher than 793 K for a long time, the composite strength drops rapidly owing to whisker damage and shortening during the interfacial reaction. It is suggested that the interface in an Al₁₈ B₄O₃₃ /Al alloy composite is stable below 623 K which is the temperature requirement for automobile engine components.

Tensile properties and fracture mechanisms of ZnO and ZnAl2O4-coated Al18B4O33 whisker reinforced aluminum composites

ZnO and ZnAl₂O₄-coated Al₁₈B₄O₃₃ whisker reinforced pure aluminum composites were fabricated by squeeze casting. The effects of the coating contents on the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), 0.2% proof stress (σ_0.2) and elongation to fracture (δ) of the composites were investigated. The results show that the UTS of ZnO-coated Al₁₈B₄O₃₃ whisker reinforced aluminum composites increases almost linearly as the coating contents increase. However, the UTS of ZnAl₂O₄-coated Al₁₈B₄O₃₃ whisker reinforced aluminum composites declines initially and increases later. The ZnAl₂O₄ coating of the whiskers is more favorable for an increase in the σ_0.2 of the composites. The δ of the composites obtains its maximum value with an appropriate coating content. Fracture mechanisms of the composites were also investigated.     

Nanomechanical characterization of one-step combustion-synthesized Al(4)B(2)O(9) and Al(18)B(4)O(33) nanowires

Two kinds of aluminum borate nanowires, Al(4)B(2)O(9) and Al(18)B(4)O(33), were successfully synthesized by a one-step combustion method through control of the Al:B atomic ratio and synthesis temperature. Both nanowires are single crystalline but have distinguishing growth habits. Nanoindentation tests were performed directly on individual nanowires to reveal their mechanical properties. A 70% reduction in elastic modulus was found in Al(18)B(4)O(33) nanowires compared with their bulk counterpart. Al(18)B(4)O(33) nanowires exhibited higher hardness and elastic modulus than Al(4)B(2)O(9) nanowires.

Structure and hardness of surface of Al18B4O33w/Al composite by laser surface melting

As a new material, aluminum borate whisker reinforced aluminum composites have attracted interest and have been considered for a wide range application because of their high specific strength, high modulus and low cost. The study included a detailed characterization of the laser melting surface in terms of microstructures, phase analysis and a ratio of Al₂O₃ (the decomposition products of whiskers during laser process) and Al in intensity with tests parameters as an indication of Al₂O₃ distribution. Microhardness of the laser layer was also studied in detail. The results indicated that the most of γ-Al₂O₃ exists at the bottom of the laser pool, which led to a maximum value in the hardness be obtained. Microhardness of the laser layer was improved to 294 Hv as compared to 178 Hv of the as-cast composite, because of the existence of Al₂O₃ particles, solid solution hardness and the grain refinement of the laser layer following rapid quenching associated with the process.     

Preparation and characterization of Al18B4O33 + BaPbO3/Al hybrid composite

In this paper, the aluminum borate whisker (ABOw) and BaPbO₃ particles (BPOp)/Al hybrid composite with radiation protection function was fabricated by squeeze casting technique. The microstructure and properties of the hybrid composite were investigated. The test results show that BPOp and aluminum matrix have a reaction, and this reaction forms a coating on the surface of ABOw. The introduction of BPOp increases radiation protection function of the matrix evidently, at the same time, the hybrid composite has better mechanical properties compared with the aluminum matrix and ABOw/Al composite.
