纳米SiC_P/AZ61镁基复合材料的时效行为研究

采用箱式热处理炉、显微硬度计、SEM电镜、能谱分析仪,对纳米SiCP/AZ61镁基复合材料的时效行为进行分析,结果表明,复合材料在时效初期,未观察到不连续析出相在晶界析出,却观察到Mg17Al12比较分散的从基体中析出;随着时效温度的提高,SiCP/AZ61复合材料或AZ61合金到达时效峰值所需的时间减少;在同一温度下,SiCP/AZ61复合材料要比基体合金的时效速度快,但时效的效果比基体合金差;且在同一温度下,SiCP/AZ61复合材料的硬度值要比基体合金的硬度值高,主要是因为采用了高能超声法,使纳米SiC颗粒均匀地分布在基体中。     

SiCp/AZ61镁基复合材料制备工艺和性能的研究

研究了三种不同铸造工艺条件下镁基复合材料的组织结构,并对其硬度进行了测定。结果表明:与全液态铸造法和半固态铸造法相比,搅熔铸造制备的SiCp/AZ61镁基复合材料,其增强相SiC颗粒分布均匀,气孔率较少,是一种较理想的金属基复合材料制备工艺。未增强的AZ61基体镁合金的维氏硬度高于其半固态坯料的维氏硬度;而SiCp/AZ61镁基复合材料的维氏硬度明显高于基体的维氏硬度,并随着SiC颗粒体积分数的增加其复合材料的维氏硬度不断提高。

采用自行设计的高能超声装置制备SiCp/AZ61镁基纳米复合材料,并对制备的复合材料进行显微组织观察和阻尼性能测试。试验结果表明,高能超声波能使SiCp在镁合金熔体中均匀分散,在室温下镁基复合材料的阻尼性能与AZ61合金相比得到了显著的改善,其阻尼性能的提高可以用G-L位错钉扎模型解释。由于SiCp的加入使基体中界面数量增加,高温下更加容易发生界面滑移,材料的阻尼性能明显提高。     

热处理对SiCp/AZ61镁基纳米复合材料阻尼性能的影响

实验采用自行设计的高能超声装置制备SiCp/AZ61镁基纳米复合材料(MMNCS),并对制备的复合材料进行了阻尼性能测试。研究时效处理(T5)、固溶处理(T4)及固溶后时效处理(T6)3种不同热处理工艺,对挤压态n-SiCp/AZ61 MMNCs阻尼性能的影响。研究表明,不同的热处理工艺对n-SiCP/AZ61复合材料阻尼性能的影响较显著。与挤压态的n-SiCP/AZ61复合材料相比,T4态和T6态与应变相关部分的阻尼得到了较大幅度提升。在T6态时,随着时效时间的延长,复合材料的阻尼性能下降。不同热处理工艺对AZ61镁合金阻尼性能的影响规律,室温可通过G-L理论,高温时可由界面阻尼机制很好的解释。

采用反复塑性变形(RPW)技术,结合挤压工艺制备出SiC颗粒增强AZ31镁基复合材料,研究了循环次数(RPW次数)对SiC_p/AZ31镁基复合材料显微组织和性能的影响.结果表明,反复塑性变形具有明显的AZ31基体晶粒细化、SiC_p细化和分散作用,能显著提高SiC_p/AZ31复合材料的抗拉强度和硬度,并改善其塑性.在SiC_p的体积分数为4%时,经RPW为300次的热挤压后,AZ31基体晶粒粒径达到最小值20 μm,SiC_p被粉碎成3 μm以下的微粒,且弥散分布于合金基体中,复合材料的室温抗拉强度和硬度(HV)达到或接近最大值,分别为359 MPa和107.     

SiC／AZ61镁基复合材料蠕变性能的研究

采用搅熔铸造法制备碳化硅颗粒增强镁基复合材料SiC／AZ61,通过动态机械热分析、显微组织观察和XRD衍射分析了其蠕变性能。结果表明：碳化硅颗粒的加入细化了晶粒,SiC大多分布在晶界处,颗粒镁基复合材料的蠕变性能与AZ61合金相比得到了显著的改善。蠕变性能的提高主要因为高温时具有高的热稳定性的SiC颗粒取代晶界处高温下易软化的8相（Mg17Al22）钉扎晶界,阻止了晶界的交滑移和位错的攀移。     

The Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of SiC Reinforced Magnesium Based Composites by Rheocasting Process

In the present study, rheocasting process was adopted to synthesise AZ91D composites reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) particulates.

Compared to the unreinforced AZ91D matrix, mechanical properties of the nanocomposites including tensile and yield strengths were remarkably improved and the yield strength increased by 117% after gravity permanent mould casting.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of magnesium composites prepared by spark plasma sintering technology

Spark plasma sintering (SPS) technology was used to determine the appropriate conditions for SPS sintering of commercially pure magnesium as well as the magnesium alloy AZ31. It was found that the sintering temperatures of 585 °C and 552 °C were the most suitable sintering temperatures for the magnesium and the AZ31 alloy, respectively. Magnesium matrix and AZ31 alloy matrix composites reinforced with SiC particles were then successfully fabricated by the SPS method at sintering temperatures of 585 °C and 552 °C, respectively. A uniform distribution of SiC particles was observed along the boundary between matrix particles. The mechanical properties, i.e. hardness and tensile strength increased with increasing SiC content up to 10 wt%. However, when the SiC content was larger than 10 wt%, the tensile strength decreased due to the agglomeration of SiC particles. The agglomeration of SiC particles was found to lead to the degradation of the interfacial bonding strength between matrix and reinforcement.

Effect of SiC volume fraction on the age-hardening behavior in SiC particulate-reinforced 6061 aluminum alloy composites

The age-hardening behavior in the SiC particulate-reinforced 6061 aluminum alloy composites (SiCp/6061 Al alloy composites) was investigated using hardness measurement, calorimetric technique and transmission electron microscopy. The aging time for the peak hardness in 10%SiCp/6061 Al and 20%SiCp/6061 Al alloy composites was shorter than that of the unreinforced 6061 Al alloy, and the age-hardening was most accelerated in the 20%SiCp/6061 Al alloy composite. It is induced from the high density of dislocations in SiCp/6061 Al alloy composites which act as heterogeneous nucleation sites of precipitates and as a high diffusivity path of alloy elements. The precipitation sequence and the aspect of precipitates in the 6061 Al alloy cannot be affected considerably by the presence of SiC particulate and the volume fraction of SiC particulate. The activation energies for the formation of the intermediate β' phase in the unreinforced 6061 Al alloy, 10%SiCp/6061 Al and 20%SiCp/6061 Al alloy composite were 142.6 kJ/mol, 127.3 kJ/mol, 106.1 kJ/mol, respectively.

Fabrication and characterization of cast magnesium matrix composites by vacuum stir casting process

A vacuum stir casting process is developed to produce SiC_p reinforced cast magnesium matrix composites. This process can eliminate the entrapment of external gas onto melt and oxidation of magnesium during stirring synthesis. Two composites with Mg-Al9Zn and Mg-Zn5Zr alloys as matrices and 15 vol.% SiC particles as reinforcement are obtained. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites and the unreinforced alloys in as-cast and heat treatment conditions are analyzed and evaluated. In 15 vol.% SiC_p reinforced Mg-Al9Zn alloy-based composite (Mg-Al9Zn/15SiC_p), SiC particles distribute homogenously in the matrix and are well bonded with magnesium. In 15 vol.% SiC_p reinforced Mg-Zn5Zr alloy-based composite (Mg-Zn5Zr/15SiC_p), some agglomerations of SiC particles can be seen in the microstructure. In the same stirring process conditions, SiC reinforcement is more easily wetted by magnesium in the Mg-Al9Zn melt than in the Mg-Zn5Zr melt. The significant improvement in yield strength and elastic modulus for two composites has been achieved, especially for the Mg-Al9Zn/15SiC_p composite in which yield strength and elastic modulus increase 112 and 33%, respectively, over the unreinforced alloy, and increase 24 and 21%, respectively, for the Mg-Zn5Zr/15SiC_p composite. The strain-hardening behaviors of the two composites and their matrix alloys were analyzed based on the microstructure characteristics of the materials.     

Effect of Hot Extrusion on Microstructures and Properties of TiB2/AZ31 Magnesium Based Composites

采用原位合成-半固态搅拌铸造法制备了TiB2/AZ31镁基复合材料,研究了热挤压对TiB2/AZ31镁基复合材料组织和力学性能的影响。结果表明：热挤压不仅能显著细化合金组织,而且能有效改善TiB2颗粒分布的均匀性。与铸态AZ31镁合金相比,铸态TiB2/AZ31镁基复合材料的硬度、抗拉强度都有一定程度的提高。经过热挤压后,TiB2/AZ31镁基复合材料的硬度和抗拉强度分别比基体合金提高了126.2%和98.8%,达到950 MPa和322 MPa。磨损表面形貌显示,TiB2颗粒的引入以及对TiB2/AZ31镁基复合材料进行热挤压,都可有效地提高材料的耐磨性。

Processing and compressive strength of Al–Li–SiCp composites fabricated by a compound billet technique

Al–Li–SiC_p composites were fabricated by a simple and cost effective stir casting technique. A compound billet technique has been developed to overcome the problems encountered during hot extrusion of these composites. After successful fabrication hardness measurement and room temperature compressive test were carried out on 8090 Al and its composites reinforced with 8, 12 and 18 vol.% SiC particles in as extruded and peak aged conditions. The addition of SiC increases the hardness. 0.2% proof stress and compressive strength of Al–Li–8%SiC and Al–Li–12%SiC composites are higher than the unreinforced alloy. In case of the Al–Li–18%SiC composite, the 0.2% proof stress and compressive strength were higher than the unreinforced alloy but lower than those of Al–Li–8%SiC and Al–Li–12%SiC composites. This is attributed to clustering of particles and poor interfacial bonding.
