Tribological properties of Ti-aluminide reinforced Al-based in situ metal matrix composite

For structural application of moving components, the tribological properties (friction and wear) are considered to be one of the major factors controlling the performance. In recent years, lightweight metal matrix composites (MMC) have received wider attention for their technological application, such as automotive parts etc. This paper reports the tribological behavior of Al based composites reinforced with in situ Ti_xAl_y and Al₂O₃ particles. The wear experiments were performed on a newly designed fretting tribometer to evaluate the role of intermetallic particulates on the wear performance of in situ composites against bearing steel under the ambient conditions of temperature (22–25 °C) and humidity (50–55% RH). Based on the topographical observation of the worn surfaces the plausible wear mechanisms are discussed. An important result is that Al-based composites with 20 vol% reinforcement exhibit an extremely low coefficient of friction of 0.2 under unlubricated conditions. Also, around five times lower wear volume is measured with 20 vol% composites when compared to unreinforced Al.     

Liquid phase separation and microstructure characterization in a designed Al-based amorphous matrix composite with spherical crystalline particles

The solidification process of the immiscible alloys exhibit a unique opportunity in designing the composites with the spherical crystalline particles dispersed in the amorphous metal matrix. The typical Al–Pb immiscible alloy and the additional elements Ni, Y and Co were selected, and the Al_82.87Pb_2.5Ni_4.88Y_7.8Co_1.95 multicomponent immiscible alloy has been designed. The ribbon samples of the multicomponent alloy were prepared by using the melt spinning technique. The ribbons were characterized by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The phase constitution and transformation were studied by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). It was revealed in the as-quenched ribbons the Al-based metallic glass matrix is embedded by the spherical crystalline Pb-rich particles. The microstructure evolution, the glass formation and the thermal stability of the as-prepared composite have been discussed in detail. A method has been developed based on the mechanism of the liquid–liquid phase transformation in the miscibility gap of the multicomponent immiscible alloy to produce the spherical crystalline particles in the amorphous matrix.

Non-conventional machining of particle reinforced metal matrix composite

Particle Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites (PRMMC's) have proved to be extremely difficult to machine using conventional manufacturing processes due to heavy tool wear caused by the presence of the hard reinforcement. This paper presents details and results of an investigation into the machinability of SiC particle reinforced aluminium matrix composites using non-conventional machining processes such as Electro Discharge Machining (EDM), laser cutting and Abrasive Water Jet (AWJ). The surface integrity of the composite material for these different machining processes are examined and compared. The influence of the ceramic particle reinforcement on the machining process was analysed by tests performed on samples of the non-reinforced matrix material.     

Fabrication of aluminum matrix composite reinforced with carbon nanotubes

1.0wt.% carbon nanotube （CNT） reinforced 2024Al matrix composite was fabricated by cold isostatic press and subsequent hot extrusion techniques. The mechanical properties of the composite were measured by a tensile test. Mean-while,the fracture surfaces were examined using field emission scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results show that CNTs are dispersed homogeneously in the composite and that the interfaces of the Al matrix and the CNT bond well. Although the tensile strength and the Young’s modulus of the composite are enhanced markedly,the elongation does not decrease when compared with the matrix material fabricated under the same process. The reasons for the increments may be the extraordinary mechanical properties of CNTs,and the bridging and pulling-out role of CNTs in the Al matrix composite.     

Spray formed Al-based amorphous matrix nanocomposite plate

A novel Al₈₆Si_0.5Ni_4.06Co_2.94Y₆La_0.5 amorphous matrix nanocomposite plate with a rough diameter of 200 mm and a maximum thickness of 12 mm has been prepared by spray-forming. The microstructure gradient is observed, with 91.7 vol.% amorphous phase for the bottom region, 78% for the middle, and 54.3% for the top. The nanoindentation tests reveal its high microhardness of ∼420 HV. The microstructure characterization indicates that the improved mechanical properties may be attributed to the homogeneously dispersed nano-scale fcc-Al in the amorphous matrix. This work further proved the feasibility of achieving substantial fraction of amorphous phase for bulk Al-based alloys by spray forming.
