Compressive strength of carbon nanotubes grown on carbon fiber reinforced epoxy matrix multi-scale hybrid composites

The characteristics of interface between fiber reinforcement and matrix have a strong influence on the properties of a composite material. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes were grown on carbon fibers by catalytic decomposition of acetylene using thermal chemical vapor deposition technique at 700 °C to modify the fiber surface. Unidirectional multi-scale composites were fabricated using these carbon nanotubes grown fibers with epoxy matrix. As the nanotubes were directly grown on the fibers they get strongly attached with the fibers thus modifying their surface condition which in turn alters the fiber/matrix interface. Modification of the fiber/matrix interface is therefore expected to change the properties of composites. The compressive strengths of these composites were measured which showed a significant enhancement of 43% and 94% in the longitudinal and transverse compressive strengths respectively as compared to composites made of carbon fibers which underwent a similar thermal cycle but without carbon nanotubes growth. The morphology of CNTs grown on carbon fibers was examined at nano-level using HRTEM which showed growth of carbon nanotubes with different morphology and diameter ranging from 5-50 nm.     

Interface and thermal expansion of carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites

Two kinds of unidirectional PAN M40 carbon fiber(55%,volume fraction) reinforced 6061Al and 5A06Al composites were fabricated by the squeeze-casting technology and their interface structure and thermal expansion properties were investigated.Results showed that the combination between aluminum alloy and fibers was well in two composites and interface reaction in M40/5A06Al composite was weaker than that in M40/6061Al composite.Coefficients of thermal expansion(CTE) of M40/Al composites varied approximately from(1.45-2.68)×10-6 K-1 to(0.35-1.44)×10-6 K-1 between 20 °C and 450 °C,and decreased slowly with the increase of temperature.In addition,the CTE of M40/6061Al composite was lower than that of M40/5A06Al composite.It was observed that fibers were protruded significantly from the matrix after thermal expansion,which demonstrated the existence of interface sliding between fiber and matrix during the thermal expansion.It was believed that weak interfacial reaction resulted in a higher CTE.It was found that the experimental CTEs were closer to the predicted values by Schapery model.

原位生成铝基复合材料的激光焊接

采用大功率激光器研究新型铝基复合材料TiB2/ZL101的焊接性能,TiB2粒子的存在增加了焊缝熔池粘度降低了熔池流动性,影响了焊缝成形,增加了气孔敏感性.焊缝中气孔主要来源于氢和复合材料中的残留盐.激光焊接过程中较大的冷却速度使得焊缝晶粒非常细小,TiB2粒子在焊缝中分布更均匀,没有出现粒子偏析,主要是因为TiB2粒子是属于纳米级,在凝固过程中被凝固界面前沿所捕获而没有被推移.TiB2粒子没有与铝基体发生界面反应生成脆性相Al3Ti及AlB2,TiB2粒子与Al基体界面结合较好.结果表明,激光焊接后没有破坏TiB2粒子的增强效果.

摘要采用新型喷射沉积技术制备SiC体积分数呈连续分布(0～30%)的Al-Si基梯度复合材料,利用MG-2000型销-盘磨擦磨损试验机,研究不同滑动转速和载荷对该梯度复合材料摩擦磨损性能的影响.采用SEM和MHV-2000型维氏硬度计研究该梯度复合材料的显微组织、硬度及其耐磨性的梯度分布规律.结果表明随着滑动转速和载荷的增大,梯度材料的摩擦因数逐渐降低;材料的磨损率随载荷的增加而增大,随滑动转速的提高先增大后减小,在转速500 r/min时达到最大;对比研究沉积态与热压态材料的摩擦磨损行为,喷射沉积态由于孔隙等缺陷的存在,其磨损形式主要是磨粒磨损和剥层磨损;热压后,梯度材料的磨损形式以磨粒磨损和粘着磨损为主;随基体中SiC含量的逐渐增加,锭坯各部分硬度和耐磨性也随之提高.     

SiC颗粒增强铝基复合材料的连接现状

SiC颗粒增强铝基复合材料因其具有成本低、耐磨性好、高比强度和比刚度、高谐振频率等优良的性能受到关注,但由于难于机械加工,特别是焊接性较差制约其在工程中的应用推广. 文中通过对国内外SiC颗粒增强铝基复合材料的连接现状(焊接方法主要集中于熔化焊、扩散焊、搅拌摩擦焊和钎焊等)进行综述和评价. 结果表明,SiC颗粒和Al基体的较大物理化学性能差异是影响该种复合材料焊接性的主要因素;当SiC颗粒体积分数低于35%时,目前已取得令人基本满意的焊接效果,已具有小批量生产的趋势;但当SiC颗粒体积分数大于35%时,特别是针对高体积分数(55% ~ 75%)的复合材料而言,传统的熔化焊方法很难获得高质量的接头,因此选择合适的连接方法和特殊的焊料成分则成为该种材料的重要创新方向.

Reaction diffusion in continuous SiC fiber reinforced Ti matrix composite

SiC continuous fiber-reinforced pure Ti(TA1)matrix composites were fabricated by a vacuum hot pressing(VHP)methodand then heat-treated in vacuum under different conditions.The interfacial reaction and the formation of interfacial phases werestudied by using SEM,EDS and XRD.The results show that there exists reaction diffusion at the interface of SiC fibers and Timatrix,and the concentration fluctuation of reaction elements such as C,Ti and Si appears in interfacial reaction layer.The interfacialreaction products are identified as Ti3SiC2,TiCx and Ti5Si3Cx.At the beginning of interfacial reaction,the interfacial reactionproducts are TiCx and Ti5Si3Cx.Along with the interfacial reaction diffusion,Ti3SiC2 and Ti5Si3Cx single-phase zones come forth inturn adjacent to SiC fibers,and the TiC Ti5Si3Cx double-phase zone appears adjacent to Ti matrix,which forms discontinuousconcentric rings by turns around the fibers.The formed interfacial phases are to be Ti3SiC2,Ti5Si3Cx and TiCx Ti5Si3Cx from SiCfiber to Ti matrix.The interfacial reaction layer growth is controlled by diffusion and follows a role of parabolic rate,and theactivation energy(Qk)and(k0)of SiC/TA1 are 252.163 kJ/mol and 7.34×10?3m/s1/2,respectively.

电厂飞灰颗粒增强铝基复合材料的摩擦磨损行为

对挤压铸造制成的飞灰颗粒增强ZL109复合材料在不同条件下的的摩擦磨损行为进行了研究。结果表明：飞灰颗粒的加入可提高铝合金材料的耐磨性,复合材料同基体合金相比,摩擦因数也较低。在摩擦磨损过程中,在较低载荷下复合材料的摩擦表面形成一稳定的摩擦转移层,该转移层的存在可以起到降低摩擦因数的作用。在较高载荷下由于该摩擦转移层遭到破坏,从而影响了其减摩作用的发挥。镶嵌在基体中的飞灰颗粒在摩擦过程中主要起到承受载荷、限制对磨材料与铝基体直接接触的作用。脱落的飞灰颗粒可以起到“滚珠”的作用,在摩擦表面形成“三体”摩擦,从而起到减摩的作用。

Structure formation during processing short carbon fiber- reinforced aluminum alloy matrix composites

Nickel- and copper-coated, as well as uncoated, short carbon fibers were dispersed in melts of aluminum or aluminum alloys by stirring followed by solidification of composite melts. Microstructural examina-tion of cast composites indicated extensive damage to the surface of the carbon fibers when uncoated carbon fibers were introduced into the melt under the conditions of the present investigation. When nickel- or copper-coated carbon fibers were used to make composites under similar conditions, the fibers generally did not exhibit observable amounts of fiber surface degradation at the interface, except for small islands of an Al₄C₃ phase. When nickel-coated carbon fibers were used to make composites, the coating reacted with the melt, and NiAl₃ intermetallic phase particles were observed in the matrix away from the fibers, indicating a preference for nucleation of NiAl₃ away from the fiber surfaces. Under a transmission electron microscope (TEM), the NiAl₃ phase was not observed on the surface of carbon fi-bers, except in some regions where the NiAl₃ phase engulfed the carbon fibers during growth. When cop-per-coated carbon fibers were used to make composites, the coating reacted with the melt, and particles of CuAl₂ intermetallic compound were generally dispersed in the matrix away from the fibers, except for a few locations where the CuAl₂ phase was found at the interface under TEM observation. These micro-structures are discussed in terms of nucleation of primary α aluminum and NiAl₃ or CuAl₂ phases and the interaction between short carbon fibers and these phases during growth while the composite was so-lidifying. Additionally, the role of the reaction between nickel or copper coatings and the melt on struc-ture formation is discussed; some of the differences between the nickel and copper coatings are attributed to the fact that nickel dissolves with an exothermic reaction. The differences between solidification of short fiber composites and particle or fiber composite are also discussed.
