碳化硅颗粒增强铝基复合材料颗粒表面改性技术研究现状

SiC颗粒增强铝基复合材料因具有高的比强度、比刚度、耐磨性及较好的高温稳定性而被广泛应用于航空航天、电子、医疗等领域,但由于SiC颗粒高熔点、高硬度的特点以及SiC颗粒与铝基体间存在界面反应,碳化硅铝基复合材料存在加工性差、界面结合力不足等问题,已无法满足航天等领域对材料性能更高的要求,因此开展如何改善基体与颗粒之间界面情况的研究对进一步提升复合材料综合性能具有重要的科学意义。结合国内外现有研究成果,总结了SiC颗粒与铝基体界面强化机制、界面反应特点、表面改性技术原理及数值建模的发展现状,结果表明,现有经单一表面改性方法处理后的增强颗粒对铝基复合材料性能的提升程度有限,因此如何采用新的手段使复合材料性能进一步提升将成为后续研究热点,且基于有限元数值模拟方法进行复合材料设计也是必然趋势。最后针对单一强化性能提升有限的问题,提出了基于表面改性的柔性颗粒多模式强化方法,同时针对现有的技术难点展望了后续的研究方向,以期为颗粒增强复合材料的制备提供理论参考。

Ultrasonic assisted fabrication of particle reinforced bonds joining aluminum metal matrix composites

This paper presents a method of producing uniform particle strengthened bonds between pieces of aluminum metal matrix composite (Al-MMCs), of strength equal to that of the substrate material. SiC particle reinforced Zn-based filler metals were fabricated by mechanical stir casting and ultrasonic treatment, and then used to join pieces of SiC_p/A356 composite with the aid of ultrasonic vibration. The filler metals made by mechanical stirring were porous and contained many particle clusters. Ultrasonic vibration was used to disperse the agglomerates and prevent further coagulation of SiC particles during joining, but the method failed to eliminate the porosity, resulting in a highly porous bond. The filler metal treated by ultrasonic vibration was free of defects and produced a non-porous bond strengthened with uniform particles between pieces of SiC_p/A356 composite. The presence of surface oxide films at the bonding interface significantly degraded the performance of SiC particle reinforced bond. Removal of this oxide film by at least 4 s of ultrasonic vibration significantly increased the bond strength, reaching a value equal to that of the substrate metal.     

Wear characteristics of hybrid aluminium matrix composites reinforced with graphite and silicon carbide particulates

This investigation studies the dry sliding wear behaviour of Al matrix composites reinforced with Gr and SiC particulate up to 10%, to study the effect of % reinforcement, load, sliding speed and sliding distance on stir cast Al–SiC–Gr hybrid composites, Al–Gr and Al–SiC composites. Parametric studies indicate that the wear of hybrid composites has a tendency to increase beyond% reinforcement of 7.5% as its values are 0.0242 g, 0.0228 g and 0.0234 g respectively at 3%, 7.5% and 10% reinforcement. The corresponding values are 0.0254 g, 0.0240 g and 0.0242 g in Al–Gr composites and 0.0307 g, 0.0254 g and 0.0221 g in Al–SiC composites, clearly indicating that hybrid composites exhibit better wear characteristics. Increase of speed reduces wear and increase of either load or sliding distance or both increases wear. Statistical analysis has revealed interactions among load, sliding speed and sliding distance in composites with Gr particulates.     

A review on conventional and nonconventional machining of SiC particle-reinforced aluminium matrix composites

Among the various types of metal matrix composites, SiC particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composites (SiC_p/Al) are finding increasing applications in many industrial fields such as aerospace, automotive, and electronics. However, SiC_p/Al composites are considered as difficult-to-cut materials due to the hard ceramic reinforcement, which causes severe machinability degradation by increasing cutting tool wear, cutting force, etc. To improve the machinability of SiC_p/Al composites, many techniques including conventional and nonconventional machining processes have been employed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the machining performance of SiC p/Al composites using conventional machining, i.e., turning, milling, drilling, and grinding, and using nonconventional machining, namely electrical discharge machining (EDM), powder mixed EDM, wire EDM, electrochemical machining, and newly developed high-efficiency machining technologies, e.g., blasting erosion arc machining. This research not only presents an overview of the machining aspects of SiC_p/Al composites using various processing technologies but also establishes optimization parameters as reference of industry applications.The full text can be downloaded at https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40436-020-00313-2     

Mechanical and tribological behaviour of nano scaled silicon carbide reinforced aluminium composites

ABSTRACT

This work assesses the impact of the presence of Nano scaled silicon carbide on the Mechanical & Tribological behavior of aluminium matrix composites. Aluminium matrix composites containing 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 wt.%-nano scaled silicon carbide was set up by a mechanical stirrer. The trial comes about to demonstrate that the inclusion of Nano silicon carbide brings about materials with progressively high elastic modulus and likewise brings about expanded brittle behavior, fundamentally lessening failure strain. Shear modulus and flexural shear modulus likewise increases with silicon carbide increase. The presence of Nano scaled silicon carbide in the aluminium matrix diminishes subsurface fatigue wear and increases wear resistance, because of silicon carbide lubricant activity. Wear testing, microstructure & morphological, density & void testing, hardness, flexural and tensile test of the readied composites were investigated and outcomes were analyzed which demonstrated that including nano-SiC in aluminum (Al) matrix increased wear resistance, tensile strength, and 2 wt. % of nano scaled SiC for Al MMC indicated maximum wear resistance, tensile strength, and an optimum balanced mix of both Tribological and Mechanical properties. Microstructural observation uncovered uniformand homogeneous distribution of SiC particles in the Al matrix.     

Modeling the thermal conductivity of diamond reinforced aluminium matrix composites with inhomogeneous interfacial conductance

A reasonable model for describing the thermal conductivity of diamond reinforced aluminium matrix composites behaving a distinctive character of inhomogeneous distribution of interfacial thermal conductance on diamond surfaces is proposed in terms of an equivalent diameter approach combined with a double effective-medium approximation scheme. Theoretical analyses for the thermal conductivity of diamond reinforced Al (Si) composites prepared by different infiltration techniques (squeeze casting (SQ), gas pressure infiltration (GPI)) are given for rediscovering the existing experimental results considering inhomogeneous conductance behavior. Numerical results using present model agree reasonably well with the experimental observations and explore new findings, i.e. the diffusion bonding also occurs at Al–diamond {1 1 1} interfaces of GPIed composites; the interconnected particles is possibly existed in GPIed Al/diamond composites.     

ZrB2 coating for the oxidation protection of carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide matrix composites

In order to improve the anti-oxidation performance of carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide matrix (C/SiC) composites, ZrB₂ coating was prepared on the surface of C/SiC composites by a two-step technique of pack cementation method. The anti-oxidation properties of coated composites were investigated. The results showed that ZrB₂ coating was obtained by the method, which was homogenous and dense. The weight loss percentage of the coated composites was only 1.52 after oxidation in air at 1500 °C for 30 min, which exhibited excellent oxidation resistance.     

Stress relaxation during thermal cycling of particle reinforced aluminium matrix composites

Two SiC-particle reinforced composites were produced by powder metallurgy using a 2124 Al-alloy matrix and two powder blending techniques: ball milling and wet blending. The effect of the blending route on the stress relaxation during thermal cycling is studied by in situ neutron diffraction based on the determination of the average stresses in the matrix and the particles. The thermal stresses in both composites partially relax by creep at T ? 90 °C. The higher creep resistance of the composite produced by ball milling reduces relaxation in comparison with the wet blended composite. This results in average axial compressive thermal stresses of ～?50 MPa and ～?10 MPa after heating to 230–300 °C in the matrices of the ball milling and wet blending composites, respectively, which relax at rates ?5 × 10^?9–3 × 10^?8 s^?1.     

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.
