Microstructure and grain growth behavior of an aluminum alloy metal matrix composite processed by disintegrated melt deposition

In this study, a silicon-carbide particulate (SiC_p), reinforced aluminum alloy-based, metal-matrix composite was synthesized using disintegrated melt deposition. Microstructural characterization of the disintegrated melt deposition processed composite samples revealed the presence of columnar-equiaxed shaped grain structure, noninterconnected porosity associated with the reinforcing carbide particulates, improved interfacial integrity between the reinforcement and the aluminum alloy matrix coupled, and a near uniform distribution of the reinforcing SiC particulates in the alloy matrix. An examination of grain growth with the objective of delineating the effects of the silicon carbide particulates revealed a diminishing to minimal role of the reinforcing phase with an increase in temperature from 450 to 590 °C.

Investigation of multi-phase intermetallic matrix composites (IMC) based on Al–Mo–Zr–Co system

The processing, microstructures and mechanical properties of intermetallic alloy based on Al–Mo–Zr–Co (AMZC) and its composites reinforced with micro-sized TiC, partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ)-ZrO₂ or SiC particulates were investigated. The results showed that the alloy system exhibits multi-phase microstructures, composed of several aluminides including ZrAl₂, Al₅Co₂, Al₉Co₂, AlMo₃, Al₈Mo₃ and Zr₂Al. The AMZC/SiC composite showed poor mechanical properties, due to the existence of residual porosity and weak interfacial bonding. In contrast, the other two composites exhibited superiority in both flexural strength and fracture toughness at room temperature than the Al–Mo–Zr–Co-based multi-phase alloy. Homogeneous distribution of ceramic particles and perfect interfacial bonding accounted for the improvement of strength. The addition of TiC or ZrO₂ particle into the matrix alloy produced remarkable toughening effect.

High room-temperature plastic and work-hardening effect of the NiAl-matrix composites reinforced by particulates

The microstructures, interfaces, compression properties and work-hardening effect of the NiAl-matrix composites reinforced by 5–20 wt.% ceramic particulates (Nb₂C, NbC and NbB₂) fabricated by combustion synthesis and hot pressing (CSHP) have been investigated. The ultimate compression strength and yield strength increase with the increasing content of the ceramic particulates, while the fracture strain and work-hardening capacity (H_c) decrease. The NiAl-matrix composite with 5 wt.% ceramic particulates has a high true ultimate strength of 1497 MPa, a fracture strain of 18.3%, and work-hardening capacity H_c = 1.29. The good interface bonding between ceramic particulate and matrix, the high density dislocation in the NiAl matrix, the seriously distorted lattices and the intense interactions between dislocations and other crystal defects contribute to its prominent mechanical properties.

Ti-coated SiC particle reinforced sintered Fe-Cu-Sn alloy

Ti-coated SiC particles were developed to improve the wear resistance of Fe-Cu-Sn alloy metal matrices designed for diamond tools. The phase structure of the Ti-coated SiC particles was investigated by X-ray diffraction. Ti coating on SiC was composed of Ti₅Si₃, TiC, and Ti. Excellent interfacial bonding between SiC and the matrix was realized. The SiC/iron alloy composites, prepared by hot pressing at 820 °C, were studied by wear and bending strength tests, and scanning electron microscope. For the composites reinforced by uncoated SiC particles, the wear resistance was improved, but the bending strength decreased. The composites with Ti-coated SiC particles outperformed the composites with uncoated SiC particles in both wear resistance and bending strength tests.     

喷射沉积7090/SiCp复合材料SiC颗粒分布均匀性研究

制备了喷射共沉积及粉末冶金SiCp/7090Al复合材料,以不同的挤压比进行热挤压成形,研究了两种复合材料中SiC增强颗粒的分布特点。实验结果表明,沉积坯经过热挤压后,沿挤压方向SiC颗粒存在明显的带状分布特征,在横截面上具有同心圆环组织。而粉末冶金坯料经过热挤压后则避免了这一现象的产生,合理的热挤压工艺可以显著改善粉末冶金复合材料中的SiC增强颗粒的形貌,细化SiC增强颗粒的粒度。增强颗粒细化后得到的细小等轴颗粒更易随着基体的塑性流动而呈弥散均匀分布,改善或消除微区域内增强体颗粒的偏聚,减弱了偏聚的程度。室温力学性能测试结果表明,随着挤压比的增加,挤压态粉末冶金复合材料的抗拉强度由挤压比为11时的362.84MPa,增大到挤压比为25时的425.27MPa。

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.
