A reciprocating extrusion process was developed to consolidate 6061-Al2O3p
composites from mixed powders. The 6061 alloy powder was first dehydrated in a vacuum chamber at 450 °C and then mixed with
12.5 μm Al2O3 powder in various volume fractions: 0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 pct. The mixed powders were hot pressed at 300 °C under a pressure
of 300 MPa and finally extruded reciprocatingly 14 times at 460 °C. The results show that the composites were fully densified,
with no sign of pores or oxide layers observable in the optical microscope. The Al2O3 particles were distributed uniformly in the matrix. As compared with 6061 alloys, the composites demonstrated a smaller precipitation
hardening and elongation, but exhibited a higher Young’s modulus and a larger work hardening capacity. The degradation of
precipitation hardening was due to the loss of Mg, which reacts with Al2O3 to form MgAl2O4. The large work-hardening capacity is attributable to the incompatibility between Al2O3 and the matrix, which possibly generates more dislocations to harden the matrix. The composites had much higher friction
coefficients and greater wear resistances than the 6061 alloy against steel disc surface. The friction coefficient of the
6061-30 vol pct Al2O3p
composite was double that of the 6061 alloy and the wear resistance was 100-fold. As compared with similar composites reported
previously, these composites possessed much higher elongation at the same strength level. A 30 vol pct Al2O3p
still displayed an elongation of 9.8 pct in the T6 condition. All of these improvements are attributed to the merits, including
full densification of the bulk, uniform dispersion of the Al2O3 particles in the matrix, and strong binding between the Al2O3 particles and the matrix resulting from reciprocating extrusion. 相似文献

The interfaces of aluminum alloy composites (5083) reinforced by SiC particles (as-received, oxidized 3.04 wt pct and 14.06
wt pct) were studied. The composites were fabricated by compocasting and certain samples were also remelted at 800 °C for
30 minutes. The reaction mechanisms between SiC
p
and liquid Al and between the SiO2 layer and Al(Mg) are discussed. The crystal boundaries of the MgO (or MgAl2O4) reaction products are believed to be the diffusion paths (or channels) during the interfacial reactions. A SiO2 layer, formed by oxidation of the SiC particles prior to their incorporation into the melt, plays an important role in preventing
the SiC
p
from being attacked by the matrix. The interfacial reaction products are affected by both the alloy composition and the thickness
of the initial SiO2 layer. 相似文献

Methodologies both to avoid the formation of Al4C3 and to tailor the interfacial structures in a SiC/2014 Al composite were demonstrated. Modification of the interfacial structures
in the SiC/2014 Al composite was made by forming SiO2 layers on the surfaces of SiC via passive oxidation at elevated temperatures. In the 2014 Al composite reinforced with the oxidized SiC, MgAl2O4 and Si crystals were observed to be present at the interfacial region as a result of the reaction between the SiO2 layer and the matrix. On the other hand, in the case of the 2014 Al composite reinforced with unoxidized SiC, SiC was found
to react with the Al matrix to form both Al4C3 and Si. Qualitative measurements of the interfacial bonding strength were carried out on composites having various types
of interfaces and thicknesses. Detailed interfacial structures and phase identifications, which were examined using scanning
electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), were presented. 相似文献

Aluminosilicate short fibers are one of the less expensive reinforcements used for the fabrication of metal matrix composites
(MMCs). The present investigation evaluates the interfacial characteristics of Al-7Si-0.4Mg (356) alloy reinforced with 10
wt pct aluminosilicate short fibers using optical microscopy, electron microscopy, and X-ray analysis. The fibers used are
standard- and zirconiagrade aluminosilicate short fibers. The interfacial analysis has shown the formation of MgAl2O4 and Si in both grades of fibers. In addition, ZrAl3 formation is observed in the zirconia-grade fiber because of the interaction between the matrix and the dispersoid. The zirconia-grade
fiber is more susceptible to interfacial reaction than the standard-grade fiber because of the presence of the highly reactive
ZrO2 phase and a lower amount of the Al2O3 phase, which provides resistance to the reaction. 相似文献

Interfacial characteristics for brazing of aluminum matrix composites with Al-12Si filler metals 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Discussions concerning the interfacial reactions and characterizations in brazing aluminum matrix composites are documented
in this study. Joints of alumina particulate reinforced 6061 aluminum matrix composites were made using an Al-12 (wt pct)
Si filler metal by vacuum brazing. The resulted maximum bonding strengths were 75.4, 81.5, and 71.8 MPa for 10, 15, and 20
vol pct alumina reinforcement, respectively. The microstructural examinations revealed that the bonding strength was strictly
related to the reinforced alumina particles and the reaction products presented at the joint interfaces. During brazing, Mg
segregated at the joining interface and alumina/6061 Al interface. Further, reactions between alumina and 6061 Al matrix resulted
in the formation of Mg-rich phases, such as MgAl2O4 and MgO, near the joining interface and the alumina reinforcement. The Si in the filler material penetrated into the metal
matrix composites (MMCs) matrix and segregated at the alumina/6061 Al interfaces. This phenomenon can be confirmed by a joint
between two alumina bulk specimens. 相似文献

The mechanism of porosity nucleation in pressure infiltration casting of metal-matrix composites (MMCs) is investigated. Five
interfacial configurations are investigated for a variety of matrix/reinforcement systems. Interfaces with negative curvature
such as cavity are found to be potential sites for porosity formation. The Al/Al2O3 system is most susceptible to porosity nucleation for the systems considered. Appropriate matrix alloying such as Mg in the
Al/Al2O3 system and Mg and Cu in the Al/SiC system and reinforcement coatings such as Cu coating on SiC significantly reduce the contact
angle, enhance wettability at the interface, and could be effective for suppressing porosity formation. Other effective methods
include careful control of the cooling condition as well as the applied pressure. 相似文献

Aluminum matrix composites: Fabrication and properties 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Aluminum alloy matrix composites containing 1 to 30 wt pct of fibrous and particulate nonmetals varying in size from 0.06
μm to 840 μm were fabricated. The composites were cast into cylindrical molds for friction and wear tests, hot extrusion and
tensile tests. The distribution of the nonmetals in the cast ingots was homogeneous. Friction and wear tests were done on
a pin (52100 bearing steel) and dish type machine without lubrication. It was found that composites containing ∼10 wt pct
or more of SiC, TiC, Si3N4, Al2O3, glass, solid waste slag, and silica sand wear less than the pure matrix alloy, but have slightly higher average coefficients
of friction. Wear in composites containing soft particles, especially MgO and boron nitride was higher than the pure matrix
alloy. The average coefficient of friction of all the composites was in the range of 0.35 to 0.58. Increasing the sliding
velocity reduced this range to ∼ 0.4 to 0.45. The longitudinal tensile properties of the extruded composites (with the exception
of loss of ductility in some cases) are comparable to that of the matrix alloys. Improvements in strength or ductility were
noted. For example, addition of 15 wt pct of 3 μm size Al2O3 particles raised the yield and ultimate strength of the Al-4 pct Cu-0.75 pct Mg alloy matrix from 227 to 302 MPa, and 356
to 403 MPa, respectively. The corresponding percent elongation decreased from 25.8 to 12.5. The fact that the various composites
can be readily cast and hot formed suggests a variety of engineering applications.

In this study, an ultrasonic cavitation based dispersion technique was used to fabricate Al-7Si-0.3Mg alloyed with Cu and
reinforced with 1 wt pct Al2O3 nanoparticles, in order to investigate their influence on the mechanical properties and microstructures of Al-7Si-0.3Mg alloy.
The combined addition of 0.5 pct Cu with 1 pct Al2O3 nanoparticles increased the yield strength, tensile strength, and ductility of the as-cast Al-7Si-0.3Mg alloy, mostly due
to grain refinement and modification of the eutectic Si and θ-CuAl2 phases. Moreover, Al-7Si-0.3Mg-0.5Cu-1 pct Al2O3 nanocomposites after T6 heat treatment showed a significant enhancement of ductility (increased by 512 pct) and tensile strength
(by 22 pct). The significant enhancement of properties is attributed to the suppression of pore formation and modification
of eutectic Si phases due to the addition of Al2O3 nanoparticles. However, the yield strength of the T6 heat-treated nanocomposites was limited in enhancement due to a reaction
between Mg and Al2O3 nanoparticles. 相似文献

Interface interactions during fabrication of aluminum alloy-alumina fiber composites 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

The feasibility of fabricating fiber-reinforced aluminum alloys by addition of discontinuous fibers to vigorously agitated,
partially solid metal slurries was investigated. In the first phase of the program, reported herein, emphasis was placed on
the study of interface interactions between polycrystalline A12O3 fibers and Al-2 to 8 pct Mg, Al-4.5 pct Cu and Al-4.5 pct Cu-1 to 2 pct Mg alloys. In general, it was observed that the incorporation
of fibers could be readily achieved by this technique, and that fibers appeared wetted after a few minutes of contact with
the melt. The composites produced exhibited an intimate, void free bond between the constituents. In addition, a region of
significantly altered microstructure resulted from accumulation of oxide and/or aluminate particles which either formed within
the melt and were attached to the moving fibers, or used the fiber surface as a substrate to grow on. Microscopic examination
of this interaction zone and thermodynamic considerations indicate that it consists of fine α-Al2O3, aluminates, oxides of the alloying elements, and probably some intermetallic compounds. For example, it is shown that a
stable MgAl2O4 spinel forms at the interface of A12O3 fibers and Al-Mg alloys. Examination of composite specimens fractured under tension indicated that the interfaces produced
were strong enough to permit the transfer of loads at strengths in the order of 250 to 350 MPa. 相似文献

In metal-matrix composites (MMCs), the metal matrix is exposed to plastic deformation and damage accumulation in the region
close to the reinforcements, following mechanical or thermal stress. In this connection, Al-4 wt pct Cu-based MMCs reinforced
with 20 vol pct Al2O3 fibers were characterized by internal friction (IF) measurements. The IF measurements as a function of the vibration amplitude
present a solid friction peak connected with the loosening of metal-fiber interfaces, while plastic deformation was associated
with a high amplitude IF background. On this basis, IF measurements allowed us to identify the distribution of internal stresses
and damage accumulation at matrix-fiber interfaces or plastic flow in the matrix in different thermomechanical conditions.
Furthermore, IF measurements allowed damage accumulation consequent to mechanical fatigue to be followed. 相似文献

The self-propagating mode of combustion synthesis (SHS) of Ni3Al starting from compacts of stoichiometrically mixed Ni and Al powders readily forms fully reacted structures with about
3 to 5 pct porosity, if green density of the compacts is greater than about 75 pct of theoretical. SHS-produced Ni3Al matrix composites with up to 2 wt pct A12O3 whiskers also have relatively low porosity levels. Porosity increases rapidly with lower green densities, higher Al2O3, or SiC whisker contents, and the degree of reaction completeness diminishes. The SiC whiskers undergo reaction with the
matrix, while Al2O3 whiskers are nonreactive. All of these observations correlate well with temperature measurements made during the course of
the reaction. The SHS mode can be achieved with agglomerated particle size ratioD

Characterization of a diffusion-bonded Al-Mg alloy/SiC interface by high resolution and analytical electron microscopy 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The interfacial structure of a diffusion-bonded Al-4.55 at. pct Mg/SiC interface was examined by conventional and high-resolution
transmission electron microscopy. Formation of Mg2Si, MgO, and Al2MgO4 was observed. The monoclinic Mg2Si phase formed at the Al/SiC interface, while the oxides MgO and Al2MgO4 formed at the monoclinic Mg2Si/Al interface. It is shown that the formation of these phases can be predicted using simple thermodynamic criteria such
as the relative bond strengths between Al, Si, C, O, and Mg. In addition, precipitation of some equilibrium Al8Mg5 precipitate was also observed at the interface. The interfacial structure observed in the Al-Mg/SiC system is contrasted
with that observed in the pure Al/SiC system. 相似文献

Transition-metal trialuminide intermetallics such as Al3Zr and Al3Ti, having low densities and high elastic moduli, are good candidates for the in-situ reinforcement of light-metal matrices based on Al and Mg alloys. In this work, in-situ composites based on Al and Al-Mg matrices reinforced with an Al3Zr intermetallic were successfully processed by conventional ingot metallurgy. The microstructural studies showed that “needle”
or “feathery”-like particles of Al3Zr phase, whose volume fraction increased with increasing concentration of Zr, were formed in the Al matrix in the investigated
range of Zr contents from 0.9 to 11.6 at. pct. Properties of Al-Zr alloys were investigated as a function of volume fraction
of Al3Zr. It is shown that the density, hardness, and yield strength of the in-situ Al/Al3Zr composites can be quite adequately described by the composite rule-of-mixtures (ROM) behavior. Alloying of a binary Al-2.4
at. pct Zr alloy with Mg up to ∼25 at. pct reduces profoundly its density and, additionally, strengthens the matrix by a Mg
solid-solution strengthening mechanism. 相似文献

A novel foamable aluminum alloy has been developed. It contains sub-micron-sized MgAl2O4 (spinel) particles that are generated in situ by a reaction of SiO2 with a molten Al-Mg alloy. The study involves an optimization of parameters such as Mg concentration, SiO2 particles size, and reaction time and shows that a composite containing MgAl2O4 particles as chief reinforcement in the matrix leads to effective foaming. Composites containing large sized transition phases
and particle agglomerates in the matrix yield poor foam structure. The best foamable composite obtained contained 3.4 vol.
pct of ultrafine (80 nm to 1 μm) MgAl2O4 particles uniformly distributed in an Al-Si alloy matrix. The corresponding metal foam contained 75 pct porosity and exhibited
a uniform distribution of cells. 相似文献

Al-3.7 pct Si-0.18 pct Mg foams strengthened by AlN particle dispersion were prepared by a melt foaming method, and the effect
of foaming temperature on the foaming behavior was investigated. Al-3.7 pct Si-0.18 pct Mg alloy containing AlN particles
was prepared by noncompressive infiltration of Al powder compacts with molten Al alloy in nitrogen atmosphere, and it was
foamed at different foaming temperatures ranging from 1023 to 1173 K. The porosity of prepared foam decreases and the pore
structure becomes homogeneous with increasing foaming temperature. When the foaming temperature is higher than 1123 K, homogeneous
pores are formed in the prepared ingot without using oxide particles and metallic calcium granules, which are usually used
for stabilizing a foaming process. This stabilization of the foaming at high temperatures is possibly caused by Al3Ti intermetallic compounds formed at high temperature and AlN particles. Compression tests for the prepared foams revealed
that the absorbed energy per unit mass of prepared Al-3.7 pct Si-0.18 pct Mg foam is higher than those of aluminum foams strengthened
by alloying or dispersion of reinforcements. It is remarkable that the oscillation in stress, which usually appears in strengthened
aluminum foams, does not appear in the plateau stress region of the present Al-3.7 pct Si-0.18 pct Mg foam. The homogeneity
in cell walls and pore morphology due to the stabilization of pore formation and growth by AlN and Al3Ti particles is a possible cause of this smooth plateau stress region. 相似文献

Pressure castings of Ni3Al(IC218)/Al2O3 and Ni/Al2O3 composites, made with continuous DuPont FP α-Al2O3 and DuPont PRD166 α-Al2O3+20 wt pct partially stabilized ZrO2 20 μm diameter fibers, were examined by optical, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope
(TEM) techniques. According to optical magnifications, excellent infiltration took place. However, in SEM and TEM magnifications,
small gaps were found adjacent to regions where bonding had taken place between fibers. On the basis of available evidence,
the gap formation was attributed to trapped gases and microshrinkage. Titanium was added to the metal to promote infiltration.
Diffusion of Ti into the fibers of the Ni/Al2O3 composites occurred, but similar diffusion into the fibers of the IC218/Al2O3 composites did not take place. The qualitatively higher bond strength of the interfaces of the Ni/Al2O3 composites was ascribed to the diffusion of Ti into Al2O3. No interface reaction layer was found in any of the composites. Very little grain growth was found to take place in either
the FP or PRD 166 fibers after casting and after a subsequent ten day anneal at 1150 °C. 相似文献

A series of in-situ, deformation-processed metal matrix composites were produced by direct powder extrusion of blended constituents. The resulting
composites are comprised of a metallic Ti-6Al-4V matrix containing dispersed and co-deformed discontinuously reinforced-intermetallic
matrix composite (DR-IMC) reinforcements. The DR-IMCs are comprised of discontinuous TiB2 particulate within a titanium trialuminide or near-γ Ti-47Al matrix. Thus, an example of a resulting composite would be Ti-6Al-4V+40 vol pct (Al3Ti+30 vol pct TiB2) or Ti-6Al-4V+40 vol pct (Ti-47Al+40 vol pct TiB2), with the DR-IMCs having an aligned, high aspect ratio morphology as a consequence of deformation processing. The degree
to which both constituents deform during extrusion has been examined using systematic variations in the percentage of TiB2 within the DR-IMC, and by varying the percentage of DR-IMC within the metal matrix. In the former instance, variation of
the TiB2 percentage effects variations in relative flow behavior; while in the latter, varying the percentage of DR-IMC within the
metallic matrix effects changes in strain distribution among components. The results indicate that successful co-deformation
processing can occur within certain ranges of relative flow stress; however, the extent of commensurate flow will be limited
by the constituents’ inherent capacity to plastically deform. 相似文献

Friction stir processing (FSP) was applied to produce aluminum-based in-situ composites from powder mixtures of Al-5 mol pct CeO2. A billet of powder mixtures was prepared using the conventional pressing and sintering route. The sintered billet was then
subjected to multiple passages of FSP. This technique has combined the hot-working nature of FSP and the exothermic reaction
between Al and CeO2. The reinforcing phases were identified as Al11Ce3 and δ
*
-Al2O3. The Al2O3 particles with an average size of ~10 nm are uniformly distributed in the aluminum matrix, which has an average grain size
of approximately 390 to 500 nm. Both the sintering temperature and the tool traversing speed used in FSP have significant
influence on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite. The composite produced by sintering at 833 K followed
by FSP with a tool traversing speed of 30 mm/min possesses an enhanced modulus (E = 109 GPa) and strength (ultimate tensile strength (UTS) = 488 MPa) as well as a tensile ductility of ~3 pct. 相似文献

A series of single-crystal Al2O3-fiber-reinforced Ni3Al-based intermetallic matrix composites were fabricated by pressure casting. The matrices employed were
binary Ni3Al, Ni3Al-0.5 at. pct Cr, and Ni3Al-0.34 at. pct Zr. The development of microstructure upon oxidation in air at either 1100 °C or 1200 °C was investigated
by optical, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy. In air-oxidized binary Ni3Al, some of the fibers were fully or partially covered with a layer of oxide. A weak fiber/matrix bond in this system, which
led to fiber debonding during composite processing, is believed to be responsible for the ingress of O into the composite
and oxidation of the matrix in the debonded regions at the fiber/matrix interface. Addition of Cr to Ni3Al resulted in an almost threefold increase in fiber/matrix bond strength. No oxidation of the interface was observed. A thick
layer of oxide was formed around all the fibers when the composite was thermally cycled prior to isothermal annealing. Addition
of Zr to Ni3Al resulted in the formation of a layer of ZrO2 on the surface of the fibers during composite processing. The ZrO2 layer provided a fast path for the diffusion of O, which led to the formation of a rootlike oxide structure around the fibers.
The rootlike structure consisted of a network of Al2O3-covered ZrO2. 相似文献
