Investigations on the effect of friction stir processing on Cu-BN surface composites

The main aim of this investigation focuses on fabrication of copper surface composites through friction stir processing (FSP) reinforced with boron nitride (BN) particles of varying volume fractions (5%, 10%, and 15%). Surface composites developed through single pass FSP were characterized for its microstructural, mechanical and tribological properties. Microstructural characterization indicated that developed surface composites were of good quality with reduced grain size and the SEM characterization confirmed good bonding between copper matrix and BN with uniform dispersion. Micro hardness survey of the developed surface composites showcased minimal deviation in the stir zone with increased trend in respect to the volume fraction of BN. The ultimate tensile strength, yield strength and percent elongation of FSPed composites was found to have reduced when compared with that of pure copper. BN dispersion in surface composite was effective in reducing the ductility and so maximum volume percent (15%) of BN dispersed composite prompt to have higher strength. The wear rate and friction coefficient of the developed surface composite was found decreasing with respect to increase in the dispersion of BN. Amongst the FSPed copper surface composite, specimen with 15?vol% of BN has shown the least wear rate with low coefficient of friction.     

Synthesis and characterisation of TiC reinforced CoCrFeNi composite by hot-pressing sintering

ABSTRACT

Ti, Co, Cr, Fe, Ni and graphite powders were used to fabricate TiC reinforced CoCrFeNi composite by mechanical alloying and consequently hot pressing sintering at 1200°C for 1?h. Results indicated that Co, Cr, Fe and Ni powders were deformed, cold welded and crushed repeatedly during milling and an face-centred cubic-structured solid solution was obtained after milled for more than 10?h. Nano-sized TiC and micron-sized Cr₇C₃ type carbides were formed and embedded in the CoCrFeNi matrix dispersedly after sintering. The hardness and compressive fracture strength of the sintered composite reached 501 HV and 2.55?GPa, respectively, which could be ascribed to the presence of large amount of in-situ formed TiC and Cr₇C₃ type carbides in the composite.     

Dissimilar Friction Stir Welding Between 5083 and 6082 Al Alloys Reinforced With TiC Nanoparticles

Dissimilar friction stir welding between aluminum alloys thick plates reinforced with TiC nanoparticles was conducted. The defect-free welds are characterized by good mechanical mixing between the joined materials as well as by good nanoparticle distribution and further grain refinement in comparison with the unreinforced weld. The local mechanical behavior of the produced metal matrix composites was studied and compared with their bulk counterparts and parent materials. Specifically, the measured mechanical properties in microscale and nanoscale (namely hardness and elastic modulus) are correlated with microstructure and the presence of fillers. The hardness, elastic modulus, ultimate tensile strength, percentage of elongation, and yield values increase with the presence of TiC nanoparticles.

Preparation of TiC reinforced steel composites and their characterisation

Abstract

Carbide reinforced steel composites are useful in extensive wear resistance applications. Titanium carbide reinforced steel composites have been prepared by dissolving a TiC rich Fe–TiC master alloy in a liquid steel. The composites have been characterised by optical microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray scanning electron microscope analysis, image analysis, and X-ray diffraction studies. Tensile strength measurements showed that the ultimate tensile strengths varied between 790 and 880 MPa for composites containing 0·7–0·34 wt-%Ti. Some composites show better wear resistance properties in comparison with low alloy steels.     

A micro-alloyed ferritic steel strengthened by nanoscale precipitates

A ferritic steel with finely dispersed precipitates was investigated to reveal the fundamental strengthening mechanisms. The steel has a yield strength of 760 MPa, approximately three times higher than that of conventional Ti-bearing high strength hot-rolled sheet steels, and its ultimate tensile strength reaches 850 MPa with an elongation-to-failure value of 18%. Using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), fine carbides TiC with an average diameter of 10 nm were observed in the ferrite matrix of the 0.08%Ti steel, and some cubic M₂₃C₆ precipitates were also observed at the grain boundaries and the interior of the grains. The finely dispersed TiC precipitates in the matrix provide matrix strengthening. The estimated magnitude of precipitation strengthening is around 458 MPa, depending on the average size of the nanoscale precipitates. Dislocation densities increased from 3.42 × 10¹³ m⁻² to 1.69 × 10¹⁴ m⁻², respectively, with increasing tensile strain from 5.5% to 22%. The measured work-hardening behavior can be related to the observed dislocation accumulations resulting from the dispersed nano-scale precipitates.

Effects of copper addition on the sintering behavior and mechanical properties of powder processed Al/SiC<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Bold">p</Emphasis></Subscript> composites

The effect of copper addition on powder processed Al-10 vol% SiC composites was studied in regards to their sintering responses. Copper was mixed with aluminum powder either as elemental powders or as the coated layer on SiC particles. After sintering at 600°C for 1 h, Al-SiC composites with no copper addition showed little densification. It also demonstrated very low bend strengths of 49 and 60 MPa, indicating poor bonding between the powders in the sintered composite. The addition of 8% copper to the Al/SiC system effectively improved the sintering response, producing over 95% theoretical density, a bend strength of 231 MPa with the copper coated SiC, and a 90% density with over 200 MPa bend strength with the admixed copper.The as-sintered microstructures of the Al–SiC composites clearly revealed particle boundaries and sharp pores, indicating that only a limited neck growth occurred during sintering. In the case of Al–Cu–SiC composites, however, a liquid phase was formed and spread through particle boundaries filling the interfaces or voids between SiC particles and the matrix powders. The coated copper on SiC particles produced a somewhat better filling of the interface or voids, resulting in a little more densification and better sintered strength. Since the solubility of copper in aluminum is less than 2% at the sintering temperature, the alloying of copper in the aluminum matrix was limited. Most of the copper added was dissolved in the liquid phase during the sintering and precipitated as CuAl₂ phase upon cooling.

Fabrication of SiC particles-reinforced magnesium matrix composite by ultrasonic vibration

Magnesium matrix composites reinforced with two volume fractions (1 and 3%) of SiC particles (1 μm) were successfully fabricated by ultrasonic vibration. Compared with as-cast AZ91 alloy, with the addition of the SiC particles grain size of matrix decreased, while most of the phase Mg₁₇Al₁₂ varied from coarse plates to lamellar precipitates in the SiCp/AZ91 composites. With increasing volume fraction of the SiC particles, grains of matrix in the SiCp/AZ91 composites were gradually refined. The SiC particles were located mainly at grain boundaries in both 1 vol% SiCp/AZ91 composite and 3 vol% SiCp/AZ91 composite. SiC particles inside the particle clusters may be still separated by magnesium. The study of the interface between the SiC particle and the alloy matrix suggested that SiC particles bonded well with the alloy matrix without interfacial reaction. The ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation to fracture of the SiCp/AZ91 composites were simultaneously improved compared with that of the as-cast AZ91 alloy.

Microstructure and mechanical behavior of AA6082-T6/SiC/B4C-based aluminum hybrid composites

The microstructural and mechanical behavior of hybrid metal matrix composite based on aluminum alloy 6082-T6 reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) and boron carbide (B₄C) particles was investigated. For this purpose, the hybrid composites were fabricated using conventional stir casting process by varying weight percentages of 5, 10, 15, and 20?wt% of (SiC?+?B₄C) mixture. Dispersion of the reinforced particles was studied with x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analyses. Mechanical properties such as micro-hardness, impact strength, ultimate tensile strength, percentage elongation, density, and porosity were investigated on hybrid composites at room temperature. The results revealed that the increase in weight percentage of (SiC?+?B₄C) mixture gives superior hardness and tensile strength with slight decrease in percentage elongation. However, some reduction in both hardness and tensile strength was observed in hybrid composites with 20?wt% of (SiC?+?B₄C) mixture. As compared to the un-reinforced alloy, the improvement in hardness and tensile strength for hybrid composites was found to be 10% and 21%, respectively. Reduction in impact strength and density with increase in porosity was also reported with the addition of reinforcement.     

In-situ synthesis of TiC/Fe alloy composites with high strength and hardness by reactive sintering

Fe alloy composites reinforced with in-situ titanium carbide(Ti C) particles were fabricated by reactive sintering using different reactant C/Ti ratios of 0.8,0.9,1 and 1.1 to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties of in-situ Ti C/Fe alloy composites.The microstructure showed that the in-situ synthesized Ti C particles were spherical with a size of 1–3 μm,irrespective of C/Ti ratio.The stoichiometry of in-situ Ti C increased from 0.85 to 0.88 with increasing C/Ti ratio from 0.8 to 0.9,but remained almost unchanged for C/Ti ratios between 0.9 and 1.1 due to the same driving force for carbon diffusion in Ti Cxat the common sintering temperature.The in-situ Ti C/Fe alloy composite with C/Ti = 0.9 showed improved mechanical properties compared with other C/Ti ratios because the presence of excess carbon(C/Ti = 1 and 1.1) resulted in unreacted carbon within the Fe alloy matrix,while insufficient carbon(C/Ti = 0.8)caused the depletion of carbon from the Fe alloy matrix,leading to a significant decrease in hardness.This study presents that the maximized hardness and superior strength of in-situ Ti C/Fe alloy composites can be achieved by microstructure control and stoichiometric analysis of the in-situ synthesized Ti C particles,while maintaining the ductility of the composites,compared to those of the unreinforced Fe alloy.Therefore,we anticipate that the in-situ synthesized Ti C/Fe alloy composites with enhanced mechanical properties have great potential in cutting tool,mold and roller material applications.
