The aim of this study is to analyze the mechanics of a new class of metal/ceramic composites on a mesoscopic length scale. These composites are produced by melt infiltration of porous ceramic preforms produced by freeze casting and subsequent sintering. This production route has a high application potential since it offers a cost-effective way to obtain composites with ceramic content in the 30 to 70 vol.%range. The as-produced material exhibits a hierarchical domain structure with each domain composed of alternating layers of metallic and ceramic lamellae. Residual stresses present in all phases of the composite produced by infiltrating alumina preforms with a eutectic aluminum-silicon alloy have been measured. Integral as well as spatially resolved measurements were carried out on single-domain samples at the high-energy, energy-dispersive diffraction (EDDI) beamline at the synchrotron radiation source BESSY (Berlin, Germany). Results show that strongly fluctuating residual stresses are introduced by the production process, which can be rationalized by taking into account the thermal expansion mismatch of alloy and preform.

AbstractThe brick-and-mortar architecture of biological nacre has inspired the development of synthetic composites with enhanced fracture toughness and multiple functionalities. While the use of metals as the “mortar” phase is an attractive option to maximize fracture toughness of bulk composites, non-mechanical functionalities potentially enabled by the presence of a metal in the structure remain relatively limited and unexplored. Using iron as the mortar phase, we develop and investigate nacre-like composites with high fracture toughness and stiffness combined with unique magnetic, electrical and thermal functionalities. Such metal-ceramic composites are prepared through the sol–gel deposition of iron-based coatings on alumina platelets and the magnetically-driven assembly of the pre-coated platelets into nacre-like architectures, followed by pressure-assisted densification at 1450 °C. With the help of state-of-the-art characterization techniques, we show that this processing route leads to lightweight inorganic structures that display outstanding fracture resistance, show noticeable magnetization and are amenable to fast induction heating. Materials with this set of properties might find use in transport, aerospace and robotic applications that require weight minimization combined with magnetic, electrical or thermal functionalities.

The problems encountered to tailor simultaneously various specific chemical or physical properties are discussed. Selected polymeric precursors used in association with fine powders allow the control of the nano/microstructure of composites and hence the preparation of functional (FGM) and hierarchical reinforced (HRC) composites, making it possible to combine several kinds of fibers, interphases, and matrices in the same composite (hot microwave absorbent), to control the fiber/matrix interface (long life times composites), to achieve net-shape sintering of 3D composite matrices, and to prepare thick films of metal-ceramic composites with tailored microwave absorption (radar stealthiness).
