Properties Of Composites

In this research aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) was reinforced by titanium carbide (TiC) particles and was produced. Powder metallurgy technique (PM) has been used to fabricate AMCs reinforced with various amounts (0%, 4%, 8%, 12%, 16% and 20% volume fraction) of TiC particles to study the effect of different volume fractions on mechanical properties of the Al-TiC composites. Measurements of compression strength and hardness showed that mechanical properties of composites increased with an increase in volume fraction of TiC Particles. Al-20 % vol. TiC composites exhibited the best properties with hardness value (97HRB) and compression strength value (275Mpa).

Matrix Nanocomposites

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have been developed in response to the enormous demand for special industrial materials and structures for automotive and aerospace applications, wherein both high-strength and light weight are simultaneously required. The most common, inexpensive route to fabricate MMCs or metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) is based on casting, wherein reinforcements like nanoceramics, -carbides, -nitrides, elements or carbon allotropes are added to molten metal matrices; however, most of the mentioned reinforcements, especially those with nanosized reinforcing particles, have usually poor wettability with serious drawbacks like particle agglomerations and therefore diminished mechanical strength is almost always expected. Many research efforts have been made to enhance the affinity between the mating surfaces. The aim in this paper is to critically review and comprehensively discuss those approaches/routes commonly employed to boost wetting conditions at reinforcement-matrix interfaces. Particular attention is paid to aluminum matrix composites owing to the interest in lightweight materials and the need to enhance the mechanical properties like strength, wear, or creep resistance. It is believed that effective treatment(s) may enormously affect the wetting and interfacial strength.

Interface Charge

The bonding strength of a Gr/Mg2Si interface was calculated by first principles. Graphene can form a stable, completely coherent interface with Mg2Si. When the (0001) Gr/(001) Mg2Si crystal plane is combined, the mismatch degree is 5.394%, which conforms to the two-dimensional lattice mismatch theory. At the interface between Gr/Mg2Si, chemical bonds were not formed, there was only a strong van der Waals force; the interfaces composed of three low index surfaces (001), (011) and (111) of Mg2Si and Gr (0001) have smaller interfacial adhesion work and larger interfacial energy, the interfacial energy of Gr/Mg2Si is much larger than that of α-Al/Al melt and Gr/Al interfacial (0.15 J/m2, 0.16 J/m2), and the interface distance of a stable interface is larger than the bond length of a chemical bond. The interface charge density difference diagram and density of states curve show that there is only strong van der Waals force in a Gr/Mg2Si interface. Therefore, when the Gr/AlSi10Mg composite is stressed and deformed, the Gr/Mg2Si interface in the composite is easy to separate and become the crack propagation source. The Gr/Mg2Si interface should be avoided in the preparation of Gr/AlSi10Mg composite.
