Al2O3/TiB2/Al复合材料的微观结构和高温力学性能

以细雾化铝粉和TiB₂颗粒为原料,通过粉末冶金和热轧制制备微米TiB₂和纳米Al₂O₃颗粒增强铝基复合材料。室温时,由于TiB₂和Al₂O₃的综合强化作用,Al₂O₃/TiB₂/Al复合材料的屈服强度和抗拉强度分别为258.7 MPa和279.3 MPa,测试温度升至350℃时,TiB₂颗粒的增强效果显著减弱,原位纳米Al₂O₃颗粒与位错的交互作用使得复合材料的屈服强度和抗拉强度达到98.2MPa和122.5 MPa。经350℃退火1000 h后,由于纳米Al₂O₃对晶界的钉扎作用抑制晶粒长大,强度和硬度未发生显著的降低。     

Production of High-Strength Al/Al2O3/WC Composite by Accumulative Roll Bonding

In this study, Al/Al₂O₃/WC composites were fabricated via the accumulative roll bonding (ARB) process. Furthermore, the microstructure evolution, mechanical properties, and deformation texture of the composite samples were reported. The results illustrated that when the number of cycles was increased, the distribution of particles in the aluminum matrix improved, and the particles became finer. The microstructure of the fabricated composites after eight cycles of the ARB process showed an excellent distribution of reinforcement particles in the aluminum matrix. Elongated ultrafine grains were formed in the ARB-processed specimens of the Al/Al₂O₃/WC composite. It was observed that as the strain increased with the number of cycles, the tensile strength, microhardness, and elongation of produced composites increased as well. The results indicated that after ARB process, the overall texture intensity increases and a different-strong texture develops. The main textural component is the Rotated Cube component.     

Enhancing High-Temperature Strength and Thermal Stability of Al_2O_3/Al Composites by High-Temperature Pre-treatment of Ultrafine Al Powders

Amorphous Al_2 O_3-reinforced Al composite(am-Al_2 O_3/Al) compacted from ultrafine Al powders for high-temperature usages confronts with drawbacks because crystallization of am-Al_2 O_3 at high temperatures will result in serious strength loss.Aiming at this unsolved problem,in this study,high-temperature Al materials with enhanced thermal stability were developed through introducing more thermally stable nano-sized particles via high-temperature pre-treatment of ultrafine A1 powders.It was found that the pre-treatment at ≤550℃ could introduce a few Al_2 O_3 in the Al matrix and increase the strength of the composites,but the strength was still below that of am-Al_2 O_3/Al because without being pinned firmly,grain boundaries(GBs) were softened at high temperature and intergranular fracture happened.When the pre-treatment was carried out at 600℃,nitridation and oxidation processes happened simultaneously,producing large numbers of intergranular(AlN+γ-Al_2 O_3) particles.GB sliding and intergranular fracture were suppressed;therefore,higher strength than that of am-Al_2 O_3/Al was realized.Furthermore,the(AIN+γ-Al_2 O_3)/Al exhibited more superior thermal stability compared to amAl_2 O_3/Al for annealing treatment at 580℃ for 8 h.Therefore,an effective way to fabricate high-temperature Al composite with enhanced thermal stability was developed in this study.     

Fabrication of ultrafine-grained AA1060 sheets via accumulative roll bonding with subsequent cryorolling

Ultrafine-grained (UFG) AA1060 sheets were fabricated via five-cycle accumulative roll bonding (ARB) and subsequent three-pass cold rolling (298 K), or cryorolling (83 K and 173 K). Microstructures of the aluminum samples were examined via transmission electron microscopy, and their mechanical properties were measured via tensile and microhardness testing. Results indicate that ultrafine grains in ARB-processed sheets were further refined by subsequent rolling, and the grain size became finer with reducing rolling temperature. The mean grain size of 666 nm in the sheets subjected to ARB was refined to 346 or 266 nm, respectively, via subsequent cold rolling or cryorolling (83 K). Subsequent cryorolling resulted in ultrafine-grained sheets of higher strength and ductility than those of the sheets subjected to cold rolling.     

Formation of nano-sized grains in Cu and Cu−Fe−P alloys by accumulative roll bonding process

Mechanical properties and formation of nano-sized grains in Cu and Cu−Fe−P alloys by the accumulative roll bonding (ARB) process were investigated. Nano-sized grains were successfully obtained in OFC and PMC-90 alloys by the ARB process after the third cycle. Once the 200 nm grains formed, further reduction in the grain size was not observed up to 8 ARB process cycles. For both alloys, the tensile strength values increased drastically in the initial stage of the ARB process. The tensile strength values of both alloys tended to saturate after the third ARB process cycle. The tensile elongation value greatly decreased by 1 cycle of the ARB process due to the strain hardening. After the third cycle of the ARB process, each alloy showed a gradual increase in tensile elongation due to the dynamic recovery. For PMC-90 alloy, the strength value was higher than that of OFC due to addition of the alloying elements. With increased annealing temperature, the nanosized grains tended to grow in OFC at 150°C, and after annealing at 200°C, coarse grains formed. On the other hand, in PMC-90 alloy, there was no grain growth up to 250°C due to the alloying elements (Fe, P).     

Evaluation of mechanical properties and structure of multilayered Al/Ni composites produced by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) process

Multilayered Al/Ni composites were produced by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) process using Al 1060 and commercial Ni foils. In this process it was observed that nickel layers necked and fractured as accumulative roll bonding passes increased. After six ARB passes, a multilayered Al/Ni composite with homogeneously distributed fragmented nickel layers in aluminum matrix was produced. Structure and mechanical properties of these multilayer composites were evaluated at different passes of ARB process. During ARB, it was observed that as the strain increased with the number of passes, the strength, microhardness and elongation of produced composites increased as well. In addition, enhancement of the strength was shown to be higher than the tensile strength of Al/Al and Al/Cu multilayered composites produced by ARB process in the previous works by the same authors.

锂离子电池封装用Al-Ni层状材料的复合过程及应用特性研究

采用冷轧复合工艺制备了用于锂离子电池封装用的层状Al-Ni双金属复合带材。针对轧制复合工艺和热处理退火工艺对Al-Ni双金属复合带材界面化合物种类、结构及其应用特性进行了研究。结果表明：合适的轧制变形量是实现Al层和Ni层复合的关键因素,在本实验中复合轧制的变形量应控制在50%～60%之间。在后续退火工艺中,Al层和Ni层界面上首先形成的是Al3Ni相,该相有利于Al层和Ni层实现牢固的冶金结合。随着退火时间的延长,随后会形成较脆性的Al3Ni2相,该相以层状形式存在两层金属中间,容易造成Al层和Ni层金属的剥离,因此通过退火工艺控制界面化合物形成的类型和结构十分重要。实验发现,在698K～748K温度范围内退火1小时的轧制复合Al-Ni双金属复合带材,具有好的抗折弯效果,稳定的焊接性能和合适的电阻值,可以作为锂电池封装材料来进行使用。

Microstructure Evolution and Pore Formation Mechanism of Porous TiAl_3 Intermetallics via Reactive Sintering

Porous TiAl_3 intermetallics were fabricated through vacuum reactive sintering from Ti–75 Al at.% elemental powder mixture. The phase compositions, expansion behaviors, pore characteristics and microstructure evolution of TiAl_3 intermetallics were investigated, and the pore formation mechanism was also proposed. It was found that the actual temperature of compacts showed an acute climb from 668 to 1244 °C in 166 s, while the furnace temperature maintained the linear growth of 5 °C/min, which indicated that an obvious thermal explosion(TE) reaction occurred during sintering,and only single-phase TiAl_3 intermetallic was synthesized in TE products. The open porosity increased from 22.2(green compact) to 32.8% after reactive diffusion sintering at 600 °C and rised to 58.7% after TE, then decreased to 51.2% after high-temperature homogenization at 1100 °C. Therefore, TE reaction is the dominated pore formation mechanism of porous TiAl_3 intermetallics. The pore evolution in porous TiAl_3 intermetallics occurred by the following mechanisms:certain intergranular pores remained among powder particles of green compact, then low-temperature sintering resulted in a further increase in porosity due to the Kirkendall effect. Moreover, TE reaction gave rise to a dramatic volume expansion because of the rapid increase in temperature, and high-temperature sintering caused densification and a slight shrinkage.

Fabrication of MMC Strip by CRB Process

In this study, Al/Al₂O₃ composite strips were produced by the cold roll bonding (CRB) process. Microhardness, tensile strength, and elongation of composite strips were investigated as a result of changes in thickness reduction, quantity of alumina particles, and the production method used. It was found that higher values of reduction and quantities of alumina improved microhardness and tensile strength but decreased elongation. Furthermore, as-received strips exhibited the highest values for microhardness and tensile strength but the lowest for elongation. In contrast, post-rolling annealed strips recorded the lowest values for microhardness and tensile strength but the highest for elongation. Finally, it was found that pre-rolling annealing was the best method for producing this composite via the CRB process.     

Significant enhancement of bond strength in the accumulative roll bonding process using nano-sized SiO2 particles

Accumulative roll bonding (ARB) is one of the most promising methods for the industrial production of ultrafine grained (UFG) sheet materials. The poor bond strength is one of the major drawbacks in the ARB process. Degreasing and wire-brushing have been widely adopted in ARB to improve bonding. In this paper, the nano-sized SiO₂ particles has been used to enhance the bond strength. The bond strength in our samples exceeds 2.5 times the values achieved by degreasing and wire-brushing methods. In addition, the mechanical properties and microstructures of the ARB-processed samples have also been investigated.

Refining mechanism of salts containing Ti and B elements in purity aluminum

The effect of refiners containing Ti, B elements on the microstructure of purity aluminum has been studied in detail with optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDAX). It is shown that salts mixture containing 5Ti1B is the best refiner with the finest -Al grain and more than 10 h fading time. It is ascertained from the analysis of SEM–EDAX and thermodynamics analysis that the refining mechanism of salts mixture is mainly contributed to the heterogeneous nuclei of more fine TiAl₃ particles dispersed in the melting, which come from the reaction between the salts and aluminum. While (Al,Ti)B₂ has little or no refining effect, but it will reduce the size of TiAl₃ since the TiAl₃ nucleates and grows along the (Al,Ti)B₂ particle. That is to say, B atom has also refining effect on the purity aluminum when it is added simultaneously with Ti atom.     

Using ARB process as a solution for dilemma of Si and SiCp distribution in cast Al-Si/SiCp composites

A major challenge in achieving the best potential of SiC_p-reinforced aluminum composites is to homogeneously disperse SiC particles within the aluminum alloys. The presence of coarse Si fibers with non-uniform distribution in cast Al-Si alloys, which may lead to poor mechanical properties, is another important problem that limits the application of these alloys. In order to eliminate these problems, accumulative roll bonding (ARB) process was used in this study as a very effective method for improving the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Al356/SiC_p composite. It was found that when the number of ARB cycles was increased, the uniformity of the Si and SiC_p in the aluminum matrix improved, the Si particles became finer and more spheroidal, the free zones of Si and SiC particles disappeared, the porosity of composite decreased, the bonding quality between SiC_p and matrix improved, and therefore mechanical properties of the composites were improved. The microstructure of the manufactured Al356/SiC_p composite after six ARB cycles indicated a completely modified structure so that its tensile strength and elongation values reached 318 MPa and 5.9%, which were 3.1 and 3.7 times greater than those of the as-cast composite, respectively.     

Strengthening Mechanism and Microstructure of Deformable Ti Particles Reinforced AZ91 Composite

In this study, the deformable titanium (Ti) particles reinforced AZ91 composite was successfully prepared by powder metallurgy and subsequent extrusion. The mechanical properties and microstructural evolution of pure AZ91 and 5Ti/AZ91 composite were studied. The yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation of 5Ti/AZ91 composite are measured to be 212 MPa, 323 MPa, and 10.1%, respectively. Microstructure analysis revealed that Ti particles are elongated along the extrusion direction, forming a discontinuous strip Ti particles, fine precipitated Mg₁₇Al₁₂ phase inhibits dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior through Zener pinning effect and hinders the growth of matrix grains, resulting in refiner grains of 5Ti/AZ91 composite. Heterogeneous deformed Ti particles and magnesium (Mg) matrix to generate additional heterogeneous deformation-induced (HDI) strengthening. Heterogeneous deformation-induced strengthening mainly contributed to the increment of yield strength for 5Ti/AZ91 composite.

A turtle carapace bio-inspired Ti matrix hybrid composite was successfully fabricated in this work.This composite incorporates two parts: the Ti–Al intermetallic multilayered composite and continuous Si C fibers-reinforced Ti matrix composite.In the Ti–Al intermetallic multilayered composite part,a series of Ti–Al intermetallics compounds,including Ti_3Al,Ti Al,Ti Al_2 and Ti Al_3,were formed between the Ti layers.In the continuous Si C fibers-reinforced Ti matrix composite part,Si C fibers and Ti matrix were found to be bonded well through weak interface reaction.Flexural strength of this material reached 1.21 ± 0.16 GPa,measured by three-point bending test.The deformation features suggest that the hierarchical structure combining ductile Ti layers/matrix with brittle high-strength Ti–Al intermetallics layers/Si C fibers can effectively enhance the mechanical properties of the bio-inspired hybrid composite.
