The present study investigates the thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion of bimodal SiCp reinforced Aluminum matrix composites formed via powder metallurgy method. The after-effects of proportion of particulate reinforcement as size distribution and sintering parameters on the thermal properties have been explored. The Box-Behnken design for response surface methodology was adopted to recognize the significance of chosen variables on the thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion of the composite. It is witnessed that the thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion enhanced due to increase in fine SiC particulates volume fraction. It has been exhibited that the fine SiC particulates (37μm) doped Al-matrix occupied interstitial positions and developed continuous SiC-matrix network. SEMs were conducted to evaluate the microstructure architecture for MMCs.

Aluminum matrix composites reinforced with carbon fibers or diamond particles have been fabricated by a powder metallurgy process and characterized for thermal management applications. Al/C composite is a nonreactive system (absence of chemical reaction between the metallic matrix and the ceramic reinforcement) due to the presence of an alumina layer on the surface of the aluminum powder particles. In order to achieve fully dense materials and to enhance the thermo-mechanical properties of the Al/C composite materials, a semi-liquid method has been carried out with the addition of a small amount of Al-Si alloys in the Al matrix. Thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion were enhanced as compared with Al/C composites without Al-Si alloys and the experimental values were close to the ones predicted by analytical models.

AbstractAluminum-matrix composites containing AIN or SiC particles were fabricated by vacuum infiltration of liquid aluminum into a porous particulate preform under an argon pressure of up to 41 MPa. Al/AIN was superior to Al/SiC in thermal conductivity. At 59 vol.% AIN, Al/AlN had a thermal conductivity of 157 W/m. °C and a thermal expansion coefficient of 9.8 × 10−-6°C−1 (35–100 °C). Al/AlN had similar tensile strength and higher ductility compared to Al/SiC of a similar reinforcement volume fraction at room temperature, but exhibited higher tensile strength and higher ductility at 300–400°C. The ductility of Al/AlN increased with increasing temperature from 22 to 400°C, while that of Al/SiC did not change with temperature. The superior high temperature resistance of Al/AlN is attributed to the lack of a reaction between Al and AIN, in contrast to the reaction between Al and SiC in AI/SiC.
