Microstructure of nickel foam/Mg double interpenetrating composites

The magnesium matrix double interpenetrating composites reinforced by nickel foam were fabricated by pressureless infiltration technology. Then the morphology of the nickel reinforcement and the microstructures of composites were characterized by SEM. The results show that not only is the nickel foam reinforcement reticular in three dimensions, but also the struts of foam keep the network structure, which ensures that the Ni foam/Mg composites are double interpenetrating. The interface bonding of composites between magnesium matrix and nickel foam reinforcement is good, without reaction around the interface, which is the indispensable condition that advanced composites should possess. Magnesium matrix distributes in the windows of nickel foam, the triangle center holes and microhole of nickel struts, and the composites have double interpenetrating structure, which makes the composites have unique properties.     

Mechanical and dielectric properties of Ni/Al2O3 composites

Ni/Al2O3 composites were prepared by hot pressing approach. The relationship between their microstructure, mechanical, dielectric and magnetic properties with Ni particle content was studied. By increasing the amount of metal in the composite, the relative density and the bending strength decrease gradually. The possible reason is that non-wetting between Ni and alumina in the preparation results in weak adhesion of the Ni/A; interface. For the composites, the maximum fracture toughness is 6.4 MPa. m^1/2, which is about 25% higher than that of pure alumina ceramic. The increase in toughness of the Ni/Al2O3 composites is due to the deformation of nickel particles. The complex dielectric constant measurements indicate that the real part and the imaginary part increase greatly with the Ni content in the frequency range of 8.2-12.4 GHz. The real part and the imaginary part of complex permeability of the composites also increase with increasing Ni content.

A kind of Al-TiB₂/TiC in situ composite with a homogenous microstructure was successfully prepared through in situ reaction of pure Ti and Al-B-C alloy with molten aluminum.

Mechanical and electrical properties of carbon nanotube reinforced epoxide resin composites

Carbon nanotubes （CNTs）/epoxide resin composites were prepared, the mechanical and electrical properties of the composites were investigated. The effects of concentration and dispersion state of CNTs on the tensile strength, tensile modulus and electrical resistance of the composites were studied. The results indicate that the CNTs can be dispersed well in the epoxide resin matrix by ultrasonic method, and the mechanical and electrical properties of epoxide resin matrix can be improved significantly. The tensile tests show that the tensile strength and tensile modulus are higher than those of epoxide resin if the content of CNTs is less than 1.75% （mass fraction）. When the content of CNTs is 0.75%, the conditional best results are obtained, the tensile strength of the composite is the highest, increased by 18.3% and the tensile modulus is increased by 20.5% compared with the matrix. With the increase of CNTs, the electrical resistance of the composites decreases greatly, while the conductivity of the composite increases. The percolation threshold values of electrical characteristic transformation for this composite material were determined for the first time.     

Mechanical properties of As-cast and heat-treated ZA-27 alloy/short glass fiber composites

This paper reports on the mechanical properties of as-cast and heat-treated ZA-27 alloy composites reinforced with glass fibers from 1 to 5 wt%. The composites were fabricated using the Compocasting method, in which short glass fibers were introduced into the vortex created in the molten alloy through an impeller rotated at 500 rpm. The molten mass was thoroughly stirred and poured into permanent molds and squeezed under pressure. The specimens were heat treated at 320°C for 1, 2, 3, and 4 h. The tests on the as-cast composites revealed that as the glass content in the composites was increased, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), compressive strength, and hardness of the composite increased, while the ductility and impact strength were decreased. Heat treatment was found to improve significantly the ductility, compressive strength, and impact strength, while the hardness and UTS were reduced. This paper discusses the behavior of these composites.

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.

Processing and mechanical properties of SiC particulate reinforced AZ91 composites fabricated by stir casting

The influence of stirring parameters （stirring temperature, stirring speed and stirring time） on the particle distribution of 10%（volume fraction） SiC particulate reinforced AZ91 composites （SiCp/AZ91） was studied. It is found that it is necessary for 10μm SiC particulate reinforced AZ91 composites to stir the molten composites in semi-solid condition with vortex formation, or else the cluster of the reinforcements would not be eliminated. Compared with the monolithic alloy, the SiCp/AZ91 composite has higher strength, especially for yield strength, but the elongation is reduced. For the as-cast composite, the particles often segregate within the grain boundary regions. Extrusion can effectively reduce the segregation of SiC particles and improve the mechanical properties of the composite. The extrusion-induced reduction in particle size varies with extrusion temperatures and extrusion ratios. The effect of extrusion-induced reduction in particle size on the mechanical properties of the composites is not always beneficial.
