Effects of particle size and distribution on the mechanical properties of SiC reinforced Al-Cu alloy composites

This paper studied the combined effects of particle size and distribution on the mechanical properties of the SiC particle reinforced Al-Cu alloy composites. It has been shown that small ratio between matrix/reinforcement particle sizes resulted in more uniform distribution of the SiC particles in the matrix. The SiC particles distributed more uniformly in the matrix with increasing in mixing time. It has also been shown that homogenous distribution of the SiC particles resulted in higher yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation. Yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the composite reinforced by 4.7 μm sized SiC particles are higher than those of composite reinforced by 77 μm sized SiC particles, while the elongation shows opposite trend with yield strength and ultimate tensile strength. Fracture surface observations showed that the dominant fracture mechanism of the composites with small SiC particle size (4.7 μm) is ductile fracture of the matrix, accompanied by the “pull-out” of the particles from the matrix, while the dominant fracture mechanism of the composites with large SiC particle size (77 μm) is ductile fracture of the matrix, accompanied by the SiC particle fracture.     

Ca含量对SiC/Al泡沫复合材料性能和结构的影响

研究了SiC颗粒增强铝基（SiC/Al）复合材料中Ca含量对SiC分散性的影响以及Ca含量对注气法制备的SiC/Al泡沫复合材料的压缩性能和结构的影响。首先,制备不同Ca含量的SiC/Al复合材料,用来制备SiC/Al泡沫复合材料的基本材料,并对不同Ca含量的SiC/Al泡沫复合材料进行压缩实验;然后,利用OM、SEM和XRD研究了SiC/Al复合材料及泡沫结构中Ca含量对SiC分散性的影响。结果表明:Ca的加入会明显影响SiC/Al复合材料中SiC的分布,且存在Ca含量临界值。当Ca含量小于1.5wt%时,SiC在基体中分布较均匀;当Ca含量达到或超过1.5wt%时,熔体中生成一种富含Al、Ca和Si的金属间化合物Ca₂Al₄Si₃,且其体积分数和尺寸随Ca含量的提高而显著增大,SiC集聚在这些金属间化合物区域内及其边界上而影响SiC分布的均匀性。压缩实验表明,SiC/Al泡沫复合材料压缩应力-应变曲线的平台应力和抗压屈服强度随着Ca含量的增加有提高的趋势。相应的SiC/Al泡沫复合材料的胞壁厚度随着Ca含量的提高明显增加,这不仅与金属间化合物的形成提高了熔体黏度相关,更可能是与金属间化合物在熔体中尺寸随Ca含量提高而明显增大相关。      

Effect of the SiC particle size on the dry sliding wear behavior of SiC and SiC–Gr-reinforced Al6061 composites

The effect of size of silicon carbide particles on the dry sliding wear properties of composites with three different sized SiC particles (19, 93, and 146 μm) has been studied. Wear behavior of Al6061/10 vol% SiC and Al6061/10 vol% SiC/5 vol% graphite composites processed by in situ powder metallurgy technique has been investigated using a pin-on-disk wear tester. The debris and wear surfaces of samples were identified using SEM. It was found that the porosity content and hardness of Al/10SiC composites decreased by 5 vol% graphite addition. The increased SiC particle size reduced the porosity, hardness, volume loss, and coefficient of friction of both types of composites. Moreover, the hybrid composites exhibited lower coefficient of friction and wear rates. The wear mechanism changed from mostly adhesive and micro-cutting in the Al/10SiC composite containing fine SiC particles to the prominently abrasive and delamination wear by increasing of SiC particle size. While the main wear mechanism for the unreinforced alloy was adhesive wear, all the hybrid composites were worn mainly by abrasion and delamination mechanisms.     

Studies on mechanical and dry sliding wear of Al6061–SiC composites

Particulate reinforced Al-MMCs exhibits better mechanical properties and improved wear resistance over other conventional alloys. In the present paper, the experimental results of the mechanical and tribological properties of Al6061–SiC composites are presented. The composites of Al6061 containing 2–6 wt% SiC were prepared using liquid metallurgy route. The experimental results showed that the density of the composites increase with increased SiC content and agrees with the values obtained through the rule of mixtures. The hardness and ultimate tensile strength of Al6061–SiC composites were found to increase with increased SiC content in the matrix at the cost of reduced ductility. The wear properties of the composites containing SiC were superior to that of the matrix material.

The thermal expansion and mechanical properties of high reinforcement content SiCp/Al composites fabricated by squeeze casting technology

With mixing different sized SiC particles, high reinforcement content SiCp/Al composites (V_p=50, 60 and 70%) for electronic packaging applications were fabricated by squeeze casting technology. The composites were free of porosity and SiC particles distributed uniformly in the composite. The mean linear coefficients of thermal expansion (20–100 °C) of SiCp/Al composites ranged from 8.3 to 10.8×10⁻⁶/°C and decreased with an increase in volume fraction of SiC content. The experimental coefficients of thermal expansion agreed well with predicted values based on Kerner's model. The Brinell hardness increased from 188.6 to 258.0, and the modulus increased from 148 to 204 GPa for the corresponding composites. The bending strengths were larger than 370 MPa, but no obvious trend between bending strength and SiC content was observed.     

Thermal properties of diamond/SiC/Al composites with high volume fractions

The diamond/SiC/Al composites with high volume fractions and a large ratio of diamond to SiC particle size (7.8:1) were fabricated by gas pressure infiltration. The results show that the fine SiC particles occupy efficiently the interstitial positions around coarse diamond particles; the main fracture mechanism of the composite is matrix ductile fracture, and diamond brittle fracture was observed which confirms a high interfacial bonding strength; the diamond/SiC/Al composites with 80% and 66.7% volume fraction of diamond in the reinforcement have the higher volume fraction in the reinforcement and lower coefficient of thermal expansion compared to the diamond/Al composite. Turner and Kerner models are not in good agreement with the experimental data for the composites based on reinforcement with two phases different in shape and component. When the effect of the coating layer considered, differential effective medium (DEM) model is confirmed a reliable model in designing a composite with a given thermal conductivity based on reinforcement with two phases different in size.     

Investigation of the low-speed impact behavior of dual particle size metal matrix composites

SiC-reinforced aluminum matrix composites were manufactured by powder metallurgy using either single or dual particle sized SiC powders and samples sintered under argon atmosphere. Quasi-static loading, low-speed impact tests and hardness tests were used to investigate mechanical behavior and found that dual particle size composites had improved hardness and impact performance compared to single particle size composites. Sample microstructure, particle distributions, plastic deformations and post-testing damages were examined by scanning electron microscopy and identified microstructure agglomerations in SPS composites. Impact traces were characterized by broken and missing SiC particles and plastically deformed composite areas.     

Effect of SiC particles on fatigue crack propagation in SiC/Al composites

Fatigue crack propagation has been studied in two SiC particulate-reinforced aluminium-matrix composites with differing matrix alloys and composite heat treatments. Results indicate that the fatigue crack propagation rate (FCPR) of aged SiC/LY12 Al composites decreases with increasing volume fraction (V_f) of SiC particles; for composites containing 15 volume % SiC particles in an LY12 Al matrix the FCPR is independent of heat treatment (ageing or annealing). Annealed SiC/5083 Al composite has a higher FCPR than annealed SiC/LY12 AI. The influence of SiC particles on crack path is briefly discussed.     

Processing, microstructure and mechanical properties of hot-pressed SiC continuous fibre/SiC composites

SiC (SCS-6TM) continuous fibre/SiC composites were fabricated by hot-pressing at 1700°C in vacuum using an Al sintering additive. Analytical transmission electron microscopy was used to investigate the microstructure of the composites. The room-temperature mechanical and high-temperature creep properties of the composites were investigated by four-point bending. The SiC powders used were sintered at a relatively low sintering temperature to high density (97% of theoretical density) with the addition of the Al sintering additive. It is believed that the Al additive is very efficient for the densification of SiC. The SiC fibres maintained their original form and microstructure during fabrication. The SiC matrix reacted with the outermost carbon sublayer in the fibre, forming a thin (1.8–4.8m) interfacial layer, which was composed of Al4C3, Si–Al–C, and Si–Al–O phases. The incorporation of SiC fibre into a dense SiC matrix significantly increased the room-temperature failure strain and improved the high-temperature creep properties. In addition, the incorporation of SiC fibre into a porous SiC matrix increased the room-temperature failure strain, but did not contribute to the high-temperature creep properties.

The SiC powder with a SiO₂ protective layer is used as the reinforcements for 2014 Al/SiC_p composites to suppress the reaction between the Al matrix and the SiC particle. 2014 Al/SiC_p composites were fabricated by vacuum hot pressing (VHP) and subsequent extrusion using 2014 Al powders and the SiC particles covered with a SiO₂ layer. The interfacial product was found to be Mg spinel (MgAl₂O₄) formed mainly by the chemical reactions of the SiO₂ layer covered on SiC particles with the Mg, Al in the 2014 Al alloy matrix. Also the interfacial bonding strength of the composites was investigated using push-out tests of SiC rods with the SiO₂ oxidation layer, which were processed within 2014 Al alloy.

The dynamic properties of SiCp/Al composites fabricated by spark plasma sintering with powders prepared by mechanical alloying process

The dynamic compressive properties of SiC particle reinforced pure Al matrix composites, fabricated by spark plasma sintering technique with mixture powders prepared by mechanical alloying process, were tested in this paper. Two different average SiC particle sizes of 12 μm and 45 μm were adopted, and the compressive tests of these composites at strain rates ranging from 800/s to 5200/s were conducted by split Hopkinson pressure bar. The damage mechanism of the SiC_p/Al composites was analyzed through the microstructural observations and high-precision density measurements. Results show that the dynamic properties and damage accumulation of these composites are significantly affected by the particle distribution, size, particle cracking, particle/matrix interface debonding and adiabatic heat softening. The composites containing smaller SiC particles exhibit higher flow stress, lower strain rate sensitivity, and less damage at high strain rate deformation.     

Incorporation of new technique for processing of Al/SiCp composites based on evaporative pattern casting (EPC) method

Abstract

A336 Al matrix composites containing different volume fraction and mean mass particle size of SiC particles as the reinforcing phase were synthesised by evaporative pattern casting (EPC) route. The process consisted of fabricating of EPS/SiC_p composite pattern followed by EPC of A336 Al alloy. The EPS/SiC_p pattern was made by blending SiC particles with expandable polystyrene (EPS) beads and placing them in expanding mould heating with steam until EPS beads expand completely. Uniform distributed SiC particles around the EPS beads and locally movement of them during pouring and degradation leads to homogenous distribution of particles in final Al/SiC_p composite. Higher modulus, strength and hardness were observed in the composites than the unreinforced Al alloy part. The fracture surfaces of the composite samples exhibited dimple surfaces and fracture in SiC particles.
