Mechanical properties and fractograph of SiC foam-SiC particles-Al composites

A new type of hybrid SiC foam-SiC particles-Al composites used as an electronic packaging substrate material were fabricated by squeeze casting technique. The mechanical properties and the fracture mechanism of the hybrid composites were investigated. The influence of SiC particles and foam hybrid reinforcement on the behavior of the composites was studied. The results show that the interface bonding in the hybrid composites is good for the composites with the unique double interpenetrating structure. The compressive strength of the hybrid composite reinforced by the SiC with the volume fraction of 59.9% is 680 MPa, which is higher than that of any other composites with the same volume fraction of SiC particles reinforcement.     

Production and characterization of a three-dimensional cellular metal-filled ceramic composite

Silicon carbide in the form of a foam network was vacuum infiltrated with aluminum alloy A356 to produce a new Interpenetrating Composite material. The foam, once infiltrated with a second phase transforms into a composite where two distinct, continuous, three-dimensional network structures are formed. The advantage of this metal matrix composite is its high strength-to-weight ratio for use in lightweight applications such as electronic packaging materials. The electroless nickel coating and vacuum infiltration procedures are developed. Materials characterization of the composite is evaluated by microstructural and compositional analysis, and density, porosity, and nano-indentation measurements. Selected experimental mechanical and thermal property measurements are performed to understand its properties and compare against theoretical models. Results show the final composite to have lower density than conventional electronic base plate packaging materials with low porosity. The composite has an increased Young's modulus and flexural strength to that of the unreinforced alloy and comparable impact toughness to composites with 50–70 vol% SiC particles but with only 12 vol% SiC. The fracture surface of the matrix illustrates conventional fibrous fracture and brittle cleavage whilst the reinforcement struts show signs of layer de-bonding from their SiC layered structure.     

Fabrication and Structure Characterization of Alumina-Aluminum Interpenetrating Phase Composites

Alumina-Aluminum composites with interpenetrating networks structure belong to advanced materials with potentially better properties when compared with composites reinforced by particles or fibers. The paper presents the experimental results of fabrication and structure characterization of Al matrix composites locally reinforced via Al₂O₃ ceramic foam. The composites were obtained using centrifugal infiltration of porous ceramics by liquid aluminum alloy. Both scanning electron microscopy (SEM + EDS) and x-ray tomography were used to determine the structure of foams and composites especially in reinforced areas. The quality of castings, degree of pore filling in ceramic foams by Al alloy, and microstructure in area of interface were assessed.

The abrasive wear properties of Al-Mg-Si3N4 metal matrix composites

One kind of three-dimensional network structure, reinforced aluminum magnesium matrix composites, has been prepared by pressure-assisted and vacuum-driven infiltration technology. The composites interpenetrated with ceramic have higher wear resistance than the metal matrix owing to their special topology structure. The reinforcement volume fraction has a large effect on abrasive wear. The wear rate decreases with the increase of the volume fraction of reinforcement and increases with the increase of sliding time and applied load. The wear mechanism of the composites (abrasive wear) differs greatly from the matrix alloy (adhesive wear).

Some Physicochemical Phenomena Observed During Fabrication of Mg-C Cast Composites

Some effects acquired in composites processed under industrial conditions were presented. Glassy carbon particles (GCp) and short carbon fibers were applied in magnesium matrix composites fabricated by suspension casting. As the matrix magnesium alloys with Al and without Al but with Zn, Zr and rare earth elements (RE) were used. The main interest was focused on the behavior of the reinforcing components, depending on the magnesium alloying elements. The observation of the stirred suspensions during their industrial processing detected an effect of carbon components’ migration to the top of the crucible, suggesting segregation processes. Experiments with unmixed suspensions performed by way of remelting the composites with uniformly distributed reinforcement showed that the segregation effect depends on the magnesium matrix composition. In the case of the alloy with Al, two zones with (top) and without reinforcement can be formed. For the alloys with Zn, Zr, and RE, an additional zone of segregated carbon reinforcement can appear directly at the bottom of the crucible. The SEM/EDS examination also showed some differences in the influence of the magnesium matrix on the carbon reinforcement dependent on the applied alloying elements. The most destructive effect was detected for the Al-containing alloy and minor defects in GCp were formed when Gd with Nd were applied.
