Oxidation behaviour of carbon/aluminium and SiC/aluminium composites

Isothermal oxidation of 6061 Al, reinforced with chopped carbon fibres and SiC particles, was studied to investigate the applicability of these composites in the temperature range 300–500 °C, in terms of their degradation due to oxidation. Carbon/aluminium composite suffered a tremendous loss in weight at 350 °C. The extent of the damage due to oxidation for SiC/Al composites depended upon the concentration of nucleation sites, which formed the interface between the composite and the matrix. The number of such sites depended upon the volume fraction and size of the dispersed particles. Analysis of the oxide scale was carried out using SEM/EDAX and X-ray diffraction. The deterioration in strength of the composites, due to oxidation, was determined by tensile testing of exposed specimens.     

Statistical analysis for strength and spatial distribution of reinforcement in SiC particulate reinforced aluminum alloy composites fabricated by die-casting

Statistical analysis for strength and spatial distribution of reinforcement in die-cast SiC_p/Al alloy composites was performed in order to predict the reliability of composites. Microstructural analysis was also done to determine the critical features of the composites. Die-casting was carried out using the preheated die at the casting temperature range of 620–750°C. It was found that the SiC pacticulates were homogeneously dispersed in die-cast Al matrix alloy, resulting from the refinement of dendritic cell size due to rapid cooling rate. The tensile strength of die-cast SiC_p/Al alloy composites was higher than that of die-cast Al matrix alloy. Also, the tensile strength was slightly increased with increasing SiC particulate volume fraction at the casting temperature range of 650–700°C. It was concluded that the die-cast temperatures of 750 and 700°C are optimum condition for the distribution of SiC particulates in consequence of good fluidity of melt for 10 and 20 vol.% SiC_p/Al alloy composites, respectively. However, the strength scattering of composites was increased with increasing SiC particulate volume fraction. For the statistical evaluation of strength, the maximum Weibull modulus of die-cast SiC_p/Al alloy composites, which was obtained at the cast temperature of 700°C, was 29.6 in Al matrix alloy, 22.2 in 10 vol.% SiC_p and 14.2 in 20 vol.% SiC_p, respectively.

Production and mechanical properties of SiC<Subscript>p</Subscript> particle-reinforced 2618 aluminum alloy composites

In this study, 2618 aluminum alloy metal matrix composites (MMCs) reinforced with two different sizes and weight fractions of SiC_p particles upto 10% weight were fabricated by stir cast method and subsequent forging operation. The effects of SiC_p particle content and size of the particles on the mechanical properties of the composites such as hardness, tensile strength, hot tensile strength (at 120 °C), and impact strength were investigated. The density measurements showed that the samples contained little porosity with increasing weight fraction. Optical microscopic observations of the microstructures revealed uniform distribution of particles and at some locations agglomeration of particles and porosity. The results show that hardness and tensile strength of the composites increased, with decreasing size and increasing weight fraction of the particles. The hardness and tensile strength of the forged composites were higher than those of the cast samples.

Incorporation of new technique for processing of Al/SiCp composites based on evaporative pattern casting (EPC) method

Abstract

A336 Al matrix composites containing different volume fraction and mean mass particle size of SiC particles as the reinforcing phase were synthesised by evaporative pattern casting (EPC) route. The process consisted of fabricating of EPS/SiC_p composite pattern followed by EPC of A336 Al alloy. The EPS/SiC_p pattern was made by blending SiC particles with expandable polystyrene (EPS) beads and placing them in expanding mould heating with steam until EPS beads expand completely. Uniform distributed SiC particles around the EPS beads and locally movement of them during pouring and degradation leads to homogenous distribution of particles in final Al/SiC_p composite. Higher modulus, strength and hardness were observed in the composites than the unreinforced Al alloy part. The fracture surfaces of the composite samples exhibited dimple surfaces and fracture in SiC particles.     

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.     

Studies on mechanical and dry sliding wear of Al6061–SiC composites

Particulate reinforced Al-MMCs exhibits better mechanical properties and improved wear resistance over other conventional alloys. In the present paper, the experimental results of the mechanical and tribological properties of Al6061–SiC composites are presented. The composites of Al6061 containing 2–6 wt% SiC were prepared using liquid metallurgy route. The experimental results showed that the density of the composites increase with increased SiC content and agrees with the values obtained through the rule of mixtures. The hardness and ultimate tensile strength of Al6061–SiC composites were found to increase with increased SiC content in the matrix at the cost of reduced ductility. The wear properties of the composites containing SiC were superior to that of the matrix material.
