Microstructure and mechanical properties of hot extruded 6016 aluminum alloy/graphite composites

The incorporation of graphite particles into AA6016 aluminum alloy matrix to fabricate metal/ceramic composites is still a great challenge and various parameters should be considered. In this study, dense AA6016 aluminum alloy/(0-20 wt%) graphite composites have successfully been fabricated by powder metallurgy process. At first, the mixed aluminum and graphite powders were cold compacted at 200 MPa and then sintered at 500 ℃ for 1 h followed by hot extrusion at 450 ℃. The influence of ceramic phases(free graphite and in-situ formed carbides) on microstructure, physical and mechanical properties of the produced composites were finally investigated. The results show that the fabricated composites have a relative density of over 98%. SEM observations indicate that the graphite has a good dispersion in the alloy matrix even at high graphite content. Hardness of all the produced composites was higher than that of aluminum alloy matrix. No cracks were observed at strain less than 23% for all hot extruded materials.Compressive strength, reduction in height, ultimate tensile stress, fracture stress, yield stress, and fracture strain of all Al/graphite composites were determined by high precision second order equations. Both compressive and ultimate tensile strengths have been correlated to microstructure constituents with focusing on the in-situ formed ceramic phases, silicon carbide(SiC) and aluminum carbide(Al_4 C_3). The ductile fracture mode of the produced composites became less dominant with increasing free graphite content and in-situ formed carbides. Wear resistance of Al/graphite composites was increased with increasing graphite content. Aluminum/20 wt% graphite composite exhibited superior wear resistance over that of AA6016 aluminum alloy.

Influence of aging treatment on mechanical properties of 6061 aluminum alloy

Aluminum–magnesium–silicon (Al–Mg–Si) alloys show medium strength, excellent formability, good corrosion resistance and are widely used in extruded products and automotive body panels. The major advantage of these alloys is their age hardening response during the paint baking process as well as the fact that they exhibit no yield point phenomenon and Lüdering. In this study, the mechanical properties of a commercially available AA6061 alloy aged to various levels were studied. Peak-aged conditions were reached in this particular alloy after a 2 h heat treatment at 200 °C. The variation of the yield stress, ultimate tensile strength, ductility and strain hardening rate with aging time is measured and discussed in relation to the microstructural changes induced by the heat treatment.     

Thermophysical properties of MPG-6 graphite

The thermal diffusivity and heat capacity of four MPG-6 graphite samples (density from 1664 up to 1825 kg/m³) are measured within the temperature range from 293 K up to 1650 K by the following methods: the laser flash, the differential scanning calorimetry, and the adiabatic calorimeter of linear heating. The uncertainties of the data on the thermal diffusivity, heat capacity, and density were (2–4)%, (3–5)%, and 0.5%, respectively. On the basis of the measurement results, the temperature dependence of the MPG-6 thermal conductivity is calculated and a generalizing dependence is obtained which allows one to estimate the thermal conductivity of graphite of various porosity for a wide temperature range using only the data on the macroscopic density of the samples. Reference data tables have been developed for the thermal conductivity of MPG-6 graphite of various densities.     

Microstructure and some mechanical properties of fly ash particulate reinforced AA6061 aluminum alloy composites prepared by compocasting

Fly ash has gathered widespread attention as a potential reinforcement for aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) to enhance the properties and reduce the cost of production. Aluminum alloy AA6061 reinforced with various amounts (0, 4, 8 and 12 wt.%) of fly ash particles were prepared by compocasting method. Fly ash particles were incorporated into the semi solid aluminum melt. X-ray diffraction patterns of the prepared AMCs revealed the presence of fly ash particles without the formation of any other intermetallic compounds. The microstructures of the AMCs were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The AMCs were characterized with the homogeneous dispersion of fly ash particles having clear interface and good bonding to the aluminum matrix. The incorporation of fly ash particles improved the microhardness and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the AMCs.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of friction spot welded 6061-T4 aluminum alloy

Friction spot welding (FSpW) is a relatively new solid state joining technology developed by GKSS. In the present study, FSpW was applied to join the 6061-T4 aluminum alloy sheet with 2 mm thickness. The microstructure of the weld can be classified into four regions, which are stir zone (SZ), thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ), heat affected zone (HAZ) and the base material (BM), respectively. Meanwhile, defects such as bonding ligament, hook and voids are found in the weld, which are associated to the material flow. The hardness profile of the weld exhibits a W-shaped appearance and the minimum hardness is measured at the boundary of TMAZ and SZ. Both the tensile/shear strength and cross-tension strength reach the maximum of 7117.0 N and 4555.4 N at the welding condition of the rotational speed of 1500 rpm and duration time of 4 s. Compared to cross-tension strength, the tensile/shear strength were stable with the variation of processing parameters. Three different fracture modes are observed under tensile/shear loading, which are plug type fracture, shear fracture and plug-shear fracture. There are also there different fracture modes under cross-tension loading, which are plug type fracture (on the upper sheet), nugget debonding and plug type fracture (on the lower sheet).     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of alumina-6061 aluminum alloy joined by friction welding

The study of the interface of ceramic/metal alloy friction welded components is essential for understanding of the quality of bonding between two dissimilar materials. In the present study, optical and electron microscopy as well as four-point bending strength and microhardness measurements were used to evaluate the quality of bonding of alumina and 6061 aluminum alloy joints produced by friction welding. The joints were also examined with EDX (energy dispersive X-ray) in order to determine the phases formed during welding. The bonded alumina-6061 aluminum samples were produced by varying the rotational speed but keeping constant the friction pressure and friction time. The experimental results showed that the effect of rotation speed and degree of deformation appears to be high on the 6061 Al alloy than on the alumina part. It is discovered that the weld interface formed included three different regions: unaffected zone (UZ), deformed zone (DZ), as well as transformed and recrystallized fully deformed zone (FPDZ). Therefore, when rotational speed increases, the thickness of full plastic deformed zone (FPDZ) at the interface increases as a result of more mass discarded from the welding interface. It was also observed that rotational speed of 2500 rpm can produce a very good joint and microhardness with good microstructure as compared to the other experimental rotational speeds.     

Corrosion behaviour of silicon carbide particle reinforced 6061/Al alloy composites

The corrosion behaviour of 6061 Al alloy-SiC_p composites (in as cast and extruded form) have been studied in sea water and acid media. The effects of temperature of both the media and concentration of the acid medium were also investigated. The corrosion behaviour was evaluated using electrochemical technique and corroded specimens were examined using scanning electron microscopy. The studies revealed that corrosion damage of composites exposed to sea water medium was mainly localized in contrast to uniform corrosion observed for base alloy. Further, composites were found to corrode faster than the base alloy even though the attack was mainly confined to the interface, resulting in crevices or pits. This could be attributed to the presence of thin layer of reaction product present at the interface acting as an effective cathode which when continuous would increase the cathode to anode ratio enabling higher localized corrosion. However, the extent of corrosion damage in extruded composites was less possibly due to absence of defects like gas pores in the composites and homogeneity in the distribution of particles. Increase in temperature invariably increased the attack for all the materials studied. This is explained due to the metal dissolution (anodic process) which is governed by the kinetics at that temperature.     

Thermoelectric properties of conducting polyaniline/graphite composites

HClO₄-doped polyaniline/graphite composites were prepared by mechanical ball milling and cold pressing. The thermoelectric properties for the composites were investigated as a function of graphite concentration. The thermal conductivity (К) increases slightly with increasing graphite content but the electric conductivity(σ) as well as the Seebeck coefficient (S) increases remarkably, which leads to an obvious enhancement in the figure of merit for the composites. The ZT of the composite with graphite concentration of 50 wt % was calculated to be 1.37 × 10^− 3 at 393 K, which was at least 10000 times greater than that of the HClO₄-doped polyaniline without graphite (1.13 × 10^− 7). This work suggests a new method to improve thermoelectric properties of conducting polymers.
