用晶化的硅酸铝短纤维作增强体, 用磷酸铝作黏结剂制得预制体, 用AZ91D作基体金属, 通过挤压浸渗工艺制备镁基复合材料。通过光学显微分析、 XRD衍射分析、 SEM扫描分析等, 初步观察研究了硅酸铝短纤维增强镁基复合材料的界面反应规律和反应产物。结果表明: 用硅酸铝短纤维增强AZ91D镁合金通过浸渗挤压法制备镁基复合材料是可行的; 镁与磷酸铝黏结剂反应后在界面上生成一定数量的MgO颗粒和少量的MgAl₂O₄颗粒, 致使硅酸铝增强纤维和镁合金基体之间形成较强界面结合; 另外, 在硅酸铝短纤维的晶化处理过程中, 由于非晶态SiO₂的析出, 导致Mg₂Si脆性相在界面附近产生, 从而对该复合材料的力学性能产生一定影响。      

考虑界面效应的GFRP复合材料蠕变模型

建立了包含界面的玻璃纤维增强树脂复合材料(GFRP)蠕变混合率单胞模型,对GFRP的蠕变性能进行分析;并与GFRP在应力水平为初始弯曲强度的20%所对应的载荷下的弯曲蠕变实验结果进行对比。分析了界面模量、界面厚度、纤维连续性与形态以及位向等因素对复合材料蠕变性能的影响。结果表明:相较于不考虑界面效应的混合率模型,本模型具有更高的准确性,与实验结果更为吻合;界面模量反应了纤维与基体的结合程度,对复合材料的蠕变性能产生影响,其蠕变柔量随着界面模量的增大而减小;界面厚度的增大会导致复合材料的蠕变柔量略微增大;相较于连续纤维增强树脂复合材料,短切纤维毡增强树脂复合材料的蠕变性能更易受到界面效应的影响;纤维方向对复合材料蠕变性能有显著影响,随着纤维方向角的增大,复合材料蠕变柔量增大,但当纤维方向角达到60°后,纤维已基本失去载荷传递和增强能力,复合材料蠕变柔量不再继续随着纤维方向角的增大而增大。

连续碳化硅纤维增强碳化硅复合材料(SiC_f/SiC)是发展先进航空发动机的关键材料,航空发动机长时服役要求材料具有优异的高温蠕变性能。本工作研究了平纹编织Cansas-Ⅱ碳化硅纤维增强碳化硅复合材料(2D-SiC_f/SiC)在空气中的高温蠕变行为,蠕变温度为1200～1400℃,应力水平为80～140MPa。利用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)观察了2D-SiC_f/SiC复合材料的微观组织和断口形貌,使用能谱分析仪(EDS)进行了成分分析。结果表明:当蠕变应力低于比例极限应力(σ_PLS)时, 2D-SiC_f/SiC的蠕变断裂时间超过500h,稳态蠕变速率为1×10^–10～5×10^–10/s,蠕变行为由基体和纤维共同控制。当蠕变应力高于σ_PLS时,复合材料的基体、纤维和界面均发生氧化,蠕变断裂时间显著降低,稳态蠕变速率提高一个数量级,蠕变行为主要由纤维控制。

Compressive Creep Behavior of TiC/AZ91D Magnesium-matrix Composites with Interpenetrating Networks

The 42.1 vol. pct TiC/AZ91D magnesium-matrix composites with interpenetrating networks were fabricated by in-situ reactive infiltration process. The compressive creep behavior of as-synthesized composites was investigated at temperature ranging from 673 to 723 K under loads of 95-108 MPa. For a comparative purpose,the creep behavior of the monolithic matrix alloy AZ91D was also conducted under loads of 15-55 MPa at 548-598 K. The creep mechanisms were theoretically analyzed based on the power-law relation. The results showed that the creep rates of both TiC/AZ91D composites and AZ91D alloy increase with increasing the temperature and load. The TiC/AZ91D composites possess superior creep resistance as compared with the AZ91D alloy. At deformation temperature below 573 K, the stress exponent n of AZ91D alloy approaches theoretical value of 5, which suggests that the creep process is controlled by dislocation climb. At 598 K, the stress exponentof AZ91D is close to 3, in which viscous non-basal slip deformation plays a key role in the process of creep deformation. However, the case differs from that of AZ91D alloy when the stress exponent n of TiC/AZ91D composites exceeds 9, which shows that there exists threshold stress in the creep process of the composites, similar to other types of composites. The average activation energies for the creep of the AZ91D alloy and TiC/AZ91D composites were calculated to be 144 and 152 k J/mol, respectively. The existence of threshold stress in the creep process of the composites leads to an increase in activation energy for creep.

采用等温压缩试验研究了不同碳纤维体积分数的镁基复合材料（CFs/AZ91D）和镁合金（AZ91D）在变形温度310~430℃、应变速率10-3~10-1 s-1范围内的塑性变形行为。根据实验结果建立了CFs/AZ91D和AZ91D的热加工图,分析了纤维对CFs/AZ91D塑性加工性能与变形机制的影响。结果表明:相比ZA91D,纤维在提高复合材料流动应力的同时促进了基体动态再结晶和应变软化,但纤维体积分数对流动应力与应变软化程度影响较小,CFs/AZ91D热变形时表现出比ZA91D更高的应变速率敏感指数和变形激活能;ZA91D热加工图不存在变形失稳区且其高温低速率区变形时的能量耗散效率大于30%,CFs/AZ91D高温低应变速率区变形时的能量耗散效率大于50%,此时纤维激励了基体合金动态再结晶而使复合材料表现出极高的能量耗散效率,但在低温高应变速率变形时,基体合金与纤维之间的界面开裂极易导致CFs/AZ91D出现塑性流变失稳行为。      

Effect of elastic–plastic matrix on thermo-mechanical response of continuous anisotropic fiber-reinforced composites

Based on a concentric cylinder model, the analytical elastic–plastic solution of deformations and stresses for the composites reinforced with transversely isotropic, circumferentially orthotropic and radially orthotropic fibers subjected to axisymmetric thermo-mechanical loading is developed. How the plasticity, volume fraction, physical and mechanical properties of the matrix affect the elastic–plastic thermo-mechanical response of the composites is investigated. The plasticity of the matrix decreases greatly the axial compressive stress in the matrix, but more noticeably increases the axial compressive stress in the fiber. For the composites reinforced with transversely isotropic, circumferentially orthotropic and radially orthotropic fibers, decreasing the volume fraction, thermal expansion coefficient and Young's modulus, and increasing the yield stress and hardening parameter of the matrix can lower the maximum equivalent stress of the fiber. However, increasing the yield stress and hardening parameter of the matrix raises the maximum equivalent stress of the matrix.     

Interfacial failure behavior of PyC-Cf/AZ91D composite fabricated by LSEVI

Carbon fiber reinforced AZ91D matrix composites with pyrolytic (PyC) coating deposited on fiber surface (PyC-C_f/AZ91D composites) have been fabricated by Liquid-solid extrusion following vacuum pressure infiltration technique (LSEVI). Interfacial microstructure and failure behavior of the composites were investigated. Instead of interfacial reaction products, block-shaped interfacial precipitates Mg₁₇Al₁₂ were detected at the interface, which indicates that interfacial reaction was restrained by LSEVI and PyC coating. Nano-MgO was detected at the interface. Interfacial failure behavior of the PyC-C_f/AZ91D composites, which was the failure between PyC coating and AZ91D alloy due to the mismatch of thermal expansion and relatively poor bonding, was proposed. Fracture surface of the PyC-C_f/AZ91D composites was characterized by fibers pulling-out tests. PyC coating served not only as protection to the fibers, but also an adjustment of the interface of the composites.
