铝硅合金中共晶硅的变质机理:杂质诱发共生成对孪晶

为探讨铝硅合金中共晶硅的变质机理,根据杂质诱发共生成对孪晶的理论,对共晶硅的变质机理进行了分析.结果表明:杂质原子诱发的共生成对孪晶之一使得共晶硅在平行于{111}晶面的方向以TPRE的机制生长,而共生成对孪晶中的另一处与原{111}晶面夹角为109.5°的孪晶,则使得共晶硅垂直于{111}晶面方向的生长也按照TPRE机制进行;共生成对孪晶大大加快了共晶硅垂直于{111}晶面方向的生长,并大大降低{111}晶面厚度方向的生长速度与平行于{111}晶面的生长速度的差异,从根本上改变了共晶硅生长时的各向异性特点,使得共晶硅以各向同性方式生长,最终长成纤维状.

Automatic generation of 2D micromechanical finite element model of silicon–carbide/aluminum metal matrix composites: Effects of the boundary conditions

Two-dimensional finite element (FE) simulations of the deformation and damage evolution of Silicon–Carbide (SiC) particle reinforced aluminum alloy composite including interphase are carried out for different microstructures and particle volume fractions of the composites. A program is developed for the automatic generation of 2D micromechanical FE-models with randomly distributed SiC particles. In order to simulate the damage process in aluminum alloy matrix and SiC particles, a damage parameter based on the stress triaxial indicator and the maximum principal stress criterion based elastic brittle damage model are developed within Abaqus/Standard Subroutine USDFLD, respectively. An Abaqus/Standard Subroutine MPC, which allows defining multi-point constraints, is developed to realize the symmetric boundary condition (SBC) and periodic boundary condition (PBC). A series of computational experiments are performed to study the influence of boundary condition, particle number and volume fraction of the representative volume element (RVE) on composite stiffness and strength properties.     

Rolling and annealing textures of a SiCw/Al composite

A SiC whisker reinforced pure aluminum composite (SiC_w/Al) was fabricated using a squeeze casting route and cold-rolled to 50% reduction in thickness. Some cold-rolled composites were then annealed at 500 °C for 1 h. The pure aluminum was also cold-rolled and annealed in the above way for comparison purpose. The textures of the cold-rolled and annealed materials were examined using XRD technique. It was found that the dominant texture components in the cold-rolled composites consisted of {112}〈111〉, {100}〈011〉 and {123}〈634〉. They were much weaker than those in the cold-rolled aluminum. When the cold-rolled composites were annealed, the new texture components {211}〈213〉, {013}〈131〉 and {011}〈211〉 occurred and had the similar intensity as the texture components remained from the deformation state. This indicated that the recovery reaction and recrystallization occurred simultaneously when the cold-rolled composite was annealed 1 h at 500 °C. Like the situation of the deformed materials, the annealing texture was also much weaker in the composite than in the aluminum. The weaker deformation and annealing textures in the composites can be attributed to the introduction of the whiskers.     

Elastic constants and thermal expansion of aluminum-SiC metal-matrix composites

The elastic behavior and the thermal expansivity of metal-matrix composites have been investigated using ultrasonic velocity and strain gage measurements. The composites used in this study consisted of three aluminum alloys reinforced with different concentrations of SiC particles. The results show that the elastic constants increase and the coefficients of thermal expansion decrease with particle content. The results also show that the behavior of elastic constants with reinforcement can be best represented by the calculations of the upper and lower bounds of Hashin and Shtrikman. The behavior of thermal expansion, however, agrees with bounds developed by Schapery. In addition, both properties are found to be related through a model linking the strain to the elastic and thermal stresses in the composite. This relationship gives promise for the nondestructive characterization of the composites using these measurements.     

A theoretical approach for the thermal expansion behavior of the particulate reinforced aluminum matrix composite Part I A thermal expansion model for composites with mono-dispersed spherical particles

Microstructural observation revealed that the increase in the volume fraction of SiC particles lowers the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the composite, and the CTE of the metal matrix composites is proportional to the size of the Si phase. To analyze the thermal expansion behavior of aluminum matrix composites, a new model for the CTE of the mono-dispersed binary composite on the basis of Ashelby's cutting and welding approach was proposed. In the theoretical model, it was considered that during cooling relaxation of residual stresses could create an elasto-plastic deformation zone around a SiC or Al₂O₃ particle in the matrix. The size of reinforced particles and other metallurgical factors of the matrix alloy and composite were also considered. In this model, the interacting effect between the reinforced hard particle and the soft matrix is considered by introducing the influence of the elasto-plastic deformation zone around a particle, which is distinguished from the previous models. It was revealed that the CTE of the composite are influenced by the particle volume fraction, the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio as well as the elasto-plastic deformation zone size and the particle size.

Influence of microstructure and texture on mechanical properties of aluminium alloy 2124 + 5%SiC particulate composites

Abstract

A study of texture, microstructure, mechanical properties, and crack propagation mechanisms was carried out on aluminium alloy 2124 reinforced with 5 vol.-%SiC particles (3 μm). Three fabrication techniques have been used to produce the composites. composite I wasfabricated by blending followed by hot isostatic pressing. composite II was fabricated by mechanical alloying followed by hot isostatic pressing. composite III wasfabricated by agglomeration of aluminium powder by mechanical alloying followed by blending with SiC and hot isostatic pressing. All three composites were hot rolled to nominally 12.5 mm thick plate. Similar textures were observed for all composites. A model of the observed texture is {001} (211), {111} (211), and {211} (111) for rolling, side, and transverse planes respectively. Composite I showed a homogeneous distribution of SiC particles. Transmission electron micrographs of composite I showed good interface bonding, stacking faults present in SiC particles, and segregation of aluminium, oxygen, copper, and magnesium to the interface. composites II and III showed an inhomogeneous distribution of SiC particles. The elastic modulus was slightly higher in the (211) direction than in the (111) direction. The fracture toughness of composite I was higher in the (211) crack direction whereas that for composite II and composite III was higher in the (111) crack direction. Secondary crack propagation modes follow the crystallographic orientations of {100} and {111} planes.     

Internal stress behavior of the short ceramic fiber reinforced aluminum alloy under tensile deformation

The in situ measurement of phase stress under tensile deformation on an A6061 alloy reinforced with SiC whiskers (Al/SiCw MMC: Metal Matrix Composite) was performed using the X-ray diffraction technique. In order to raise a preciseness of measurements, we applied a profile fitting technique to separate the nearby located diffraction peak. Tensile deformation on elastic to plastic range was applied by four points bending device and discussed internal stress behavior in the short ceramic fiber reinforced MMC. Phase stress in Al matrix was increased linearly up to 2800×10⁻⁶ in strain and then saturated immediately. On the other hand phase stress in SiC whiskers shows an unstable stress behavior. It was decreased at first because of the Poisson's effect from Al matrix but reversed over 500×10⁻⁶ applied strain. The measured phase stress behavior in elastic region agreed with the calculations using micromechanics based on Eshelby/Mori–Tanaka model except for this unstable internal stress region. The macro stress behavior in plastic region was extremely small than that of the tensile test results. It supposed that the mechanism of strength is not so much the fiber reinforcing as the dispersion strengthening like the Orowan mechanism. Regarding the fatigue property, ΔK_th of the Al/SiC MMC, this was lower than that of the A6061 alloy. On the Al/SiCw MMC specimen, many micro void formations were observed around the fatigue crack tip even under the ΔK_th of A6061. It was considered that these were caused by the high gradient of residual stress on composite process and the unstable stress behavior in low ΔK region.

Void configuration under constrained deformation in ductile matrix materials

SiC particle reinforced Al 2025 aluminum alloy composite is used for tensile tests. The ductile fracture by nucleation, growth and coalescence of micro voids, particle cracking and the interfacial debonding under the different constraint conditions, which are obtained by changing the notch radius, is analyzed. The effect of the local constraint on the respective damage phenomenon is analyzed using the axi-symmetric unit cell FE model by changing the local stress triaxiality and side constraint. The results show that the fracture process of the notched tensile bar is simulated well and the damage phenomena agree qualitatively with the experimental ones. Finally the effect of constraint on the void configuration and coalescence is investigated experimentally using three-dimensional fracture surface observations using the SEM (scanning electron microscope) and three-dimensional imaging analysis method. The constraint effect is analyzed by changing the specimen’s shape. The experimental results show that the void aspect ratio is decreased with increases of SiC particle volume fraction in aluminum alloy. The final void volume fraction at fracture also changes by the specimen shape and the material’s structure.
