SiC泡沫陶瓷/Fe基双连续相复合材料的制备和性能

将SiC泡沫陶瓷氧化,用挤压铸造法制备SiC泡沫陶瓷/Fe基双连续相复合材料并对其退火,研究了制备工艺和SiC泡沫陶瓷的体积分数对其微观组织和力学性能的影响。结果表明,在1250℃氧化48 h后在SiC泡沫陶瓷表面生成了厚度为1 mm的SiO2反应阻挡层。在双连续相复合材料的制备过程中,SiO2反应阻挡层抑制Fe与SiC的化学反应,避免了脆性化合物Fe3Si的生成,改善了基体与增强体的界面,使复合材料的抗弯强度提高2倍,压缩强度提高18%。当SiC泡沫陶瓷的氧化时间增至72 h时,SiC泡沫陶瓷表面SiO2的厚度过大。SiO2与基体和增强体热膨胀系数不匹配,使复合材料内相界面间的残余应力增加,导致其性能下降。将SiC泡沫陶瓷/Fe基双连续相复合材料在600℃退火4 h,可降低复合材料中的残余应力,提高复合材料的性能。SiC的体积分数较低时,金属基体的桥接、偏转裂纹的作用比较大,复合材料的弯曲强度高,变形程度大。随着复合材料中SiC体积分数的增大,SiC骨架筋增粗,其承载能力加强,复合材料的压缩强度呈提高的趋势。     

界面过渡层对SiC/Al双连续相复合材料性能的影响

研究了界面过渡层对SiC/Al双连续相复合材料性能的影响.结果表明,界面过渡层降低了复合材料中的残余应力,改善了界面的结合,提高了复合材料的压缩性能.当界面过渡层中SiC的体积分数接近50%时,复合材料的压缩强度最高,塑性最好,但弹性模量较低.界面过渡层的存在改变了复合材料的弯曲断裂机制.SiC原始泡沫增强的复合材料在断裂时,增强体SiC泡沫先断裂,基体后破坏,断裂表面凹凸不平;含界面过渡层的复合材料断裂时,过渡层的外侧界面先被撕开,内侧界面结合良好,基体与增强体同时断裂,断口平整.

以具有不同表面状态的泡沫SiC陶瓷为基本骨架,以改性酚醛树脂为基体,加入短切高硅氧玻璃纤维制备了陶瓷/纤维/树脂超混杂复合材料,研究了界面控制对超混杂复合材料界面粘结强度的影响.结果表明,对于泡沫SiC陶瓷骨架,在表面生长多孔过渡层或表面堆积SiC颗粒等方法可提高树脂陶瓷之间界面的粘结强度.通过良好的界面控制,可显著提高复合材料的弯曲强度和弯曲模量,模量的提高比强度的提高幅度更大.偶联剂处理使高硅氧纤维与树脂基体的粘结强度增加,从而提高复合材料的弯曲强度.     

碳化硅颗粒和晶须增强铝锂基复合材料

综述了近年来碳化硅颗粒(SiCp)和碳化硅晶须(SiCw)增强铝基复合材料的发展,尤其是铝锂基复合材料的发展。SiC/Al复合材料的制造方法有铸造法、粉末冶金法、溅射沉积法等。碳化硅和铝的界面结合良好,由于碳化硅和铝的热膨胀系数相差六倍,因而在生产及热处理过程中收缩差所产生的错配应变会在基体中产生大量位错。人们认为,高密度的位错是SiC/Al强化的主要因素。     

碳化硅颗粒增强铝基复合材料的无压浸透反应机理探讨

为探讨SiCp/Al基复合材料无压浸渗反应机理,利用XPS鉴定了SiC预制体浸渗前沿界面上的反应产物结构.采用HRTEM研究了SiCp/Al基复合材料的界面结构.结果表明,浸渗与未浸渗部分之间的界面上存在MgO.Al2O3和ZnO诸化合物,没有发现氮的化合物.在SiC相与铝相的界面上仅存在MgAl2O4相,MgAl2O4相几乎连续地包敷在SiC颗粒上.这表明,高温下SiC与熔Al合金接触后,SiC颗粒表面上的SiO2与Al,Mg,Zn诸元素发生了放热反应,从而降低了表面张力,提高了湿润性.促进了自发浸渗.

运用挤压铸造法制备了SiC泡沫／Al双连续性复合材料，研究了SiC泡沫、复合压力和合金成分对复合材料连续性的影响。结果表明，SiC泡沫陶瓷的加入阻碍了基体合金流动，降低了复合材料的连续性。随着复合压力的增加，复合材料的连续性逐渐增强，当压力为150MPa时，复合材料的连续性最好。随着含硅量的增加，基体合金的热膨胀系数逐渐降低，基体和增强体之间的热膨胀匹配增强，复合材料中残余应力降低，复合材料的连续性增强。     

Corrosion protection of aluminium-matrix aluminium nitride and silicon carbide composites by anodization

Anodization is an effective surface treatment for improving the corrosion resistance of aluminium-matrix composites. For SiC particle-filled aluminium, anodization was performed successfully in an acid electrolyte, as usual. However, for AlN particle-filled aluminium, anodization needed to be performed in an akaline (0.7 N NaOH) electrolyte instead of an acid electrolyte, because NaOH reduced the reaction between AlN and water, whereas an acid enhanced this reaction. The concentration of NaOH in the electrolyte was critical; too high a concentration of NaOH caused the dissolution of the anodizing product (Al2O3) by the NaOH, whereas too low a concentration of NaOH did not provide sufficient ions for the electrochemical process. The corrosion properties and anodization characteristic of pure aluminium, Al/AlN and Al/SiC were compared. Without anodization, pure aluminium had better corrosion resistance than the composites and Al/SiC had better corrosion resistance than Al/AlN. After anodization, the corrosion resistance of Al/AlN was better than Al/SiC and both composites were better than pure aluminium without anodization, but still not as good as the anodized pure aluminium.     

Ca含量对SiC/Al泡沫复合材料性能和结构的影响

研究了SiC颗粒增强铝基（SiC/Al）复合材料中Ca含量对SiC分散性的影响以及Ca含量对注气法制备的SiC/Al泡沫复合材料的压缩性能和结构的影响。首先,制备不同Ca含量的SiC/Al复合材料,用来制备SiC/Al泡沫复合材料的基本材料,并对不同Ca含量的SiC/Al泡沫复合材料进行压缩实验;然后,利用OM、SEM和XRD研究了SiC/Al复合材料及泡沫结构中Ca含量对SiC分散性的影响。结果表明:Ca的加入会明显影响SiC/Al复合材料中SiC的分布,且存在Ca含量临界值。当Ca含量小于1.5wt%时,SiC在基体中分布较均匀;当Ca含量达到或超过1.5wt%时,熔体中生成一种富含Al、Ca和Si的金属间化合物Ca₂Al₄Si₃,且其体积分数和尺寸随Ca含量的提高而显著增大,SiC集聚在这些金属间化合物区域内及其边界上而影响SiC分布的均匀性。压缩实验表明,SiC/Al泡沫复合材料压缩应力-应变曲线的平台应力和抗压屈服强度随着Ca含量的增加有提高的趋势。相应的SiC/Al泡沫复合材料的胞壁厚度随着Ca含量的提高明显增加,这不仅与金属间化合物的形成提高了熔体黏度相关,更可能是与金属间化合物在熔体中尺寸随Ca含量提高而明显增大相关。

Behaviour of coatings on reinforcements in some metal matrix composites

Coating on reinforcements affects the interface bonding of a composite, and is therefore usually used for improving the composite's properties. The behaviour of SiC coating on carbon fibre in reinforced aluminium metal castings, Fe on carbon fibre-reinforced copper and alumina coating on K₂O · 6TiO₂ whisker-reinforced aluminium composites were investigated, respectively, by modern techniques such as TEM, SEM etc. with the goal of controlling the interfacial interaction and wettability of reinforcement with the matrices. SiC coating produced by a polycarbosilane solution process effectively improved the strength because it successfully controlled oxidation of the carbon fibres themselves and the harmful reaction between the carbon fibres and molten aluminium during the fabrication process and heating process of the composites. The metal coating, Fe, made by electrical plating, strengthened the bonding of carbon fibres with copper by changing the bonding state of the interface from a mechanical one to a partly chemical one. Therefore the strengths of the resulting composites were improved. The alumina coating on K₂O · 6TiO₂ also controlled the diffusion of the K element from the whiskers into the aluminium matrix and altered the reaction with aluminium, and led to the optimization of interfacial bonding between the whiskers and a superior composite.     

In situ joining of titanium to SiC/Al composites by low pressure infiltration

A method of in situ joining of titanium to SiC/Al composites by low pressure infiltration was proposed. The effect of infiltration temperature on microstructure and bending strength of in situ joining composites was investigated and the best infiltration temperature was confirmed to be 710 °C. The interfacial region of SiC/Al/Ti composites was consisted of Ti substrate, Al–Ti interfacial layer, Al layer and SiC/Al composite. The bending strength of SiC/Al composites kept nearly constant as the infiltration temperature changed while that of SiC/Al/Ti composites was influenced significantly by the infiltration temperature. The fracture occurred at the Al–Ti and Al–SiC/Al interfaces alternately as infiltrated at 670 °C. But as the infiltration temperature was increased to 710 °C, the fracture occurred only at the Al–SiC/Al interface which shows a great interfacial bonding at the Al–Ti interface. The formation of Al–Ti brittle intermetallics and the effect of crystallization and grain coarsening are two possible reasons which lead to the decrease of bending strength when the infiltration temperatures were increased from 710 °C to 730 °C.     

SiCP/AZ80镁基复合材料的界面与断口特征

本文用SEM,TEM研究了SiC颗粒增强AZ80镁合金复合材料的界面结构和断口形貌。结果表明,SiC颗粒与镁合金界面结合紧密,没有发生界面化学反应,但在界面处可以观察到Mg₁₇Al₁₂共晶相在SiC表面形核生长。对复合材料断口观察表明,SiC颗粒与镁合金界面之间的粘结强度大于基体的撕裂强度,SiC颗粒的聚集、团聚是导致复合材料断裂的主要原因,且复合材料的断裂形式趋向脆性断裂。     

Processing of Al/SiC composites in continuous solid–liquid co-existent state by SPS and their thermal properties

Silicon carbide (SiC)-particle-dispersed-aluminum (Al) matrix composites were fabricated in a unique fabrication method, where the powder mixture of SiC, pure Al and Al–5mass% Si alloy was uniquely designed to form continuous solid–liquid co-existent state during spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. Composites fabricated in such a way can be well consolidated by heating during SPS processing in a temperature range between 798 K and 876 K for a heating duration of 1.56 ks. Microstructures of the composites thus fabricated were examined by scanning electron microscopy and no reaction was detected at the interface between the SiC particle and the Al matrix. The relative packing density of the Al–matrix composite containing SiC was higher than 99% in a volume fraction range of SiC between 40% and 55%. Thermal conductivity of the composite increased with increasing the SiC content in the composite at a SiC fraction range between 40 vol.% and 50 vol.%. The highest thermal conductivity was obtained for Al–50 vol.% SiC composite and reached 252 W/mK. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the composites falls in the upper line of Kerner’s model, indicating strong bonding between the SiC particle and the Al matrix in the composite.
