Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) reinforced iron aluminides (Fe3Al) intermetallic matrix composites have been prepared by a conventional (hot pressing) sintering method. Morphological, structural, compositional and mechanical properties investigations have been performed. Compressive testing shows that the composites still display high yield strength. The first results show that carbon nanotubes have been preserved in composite structure during the sintering process.

ABSTRACTThis paper is concerned with the processing and mechanical properties of intermetallic-matrix composites. The effects of processing variables on fabrication of compounds including Ni3Al, NiAl, TiTaAl2, MoSi2 and their composites is described. A key concern is with processing effects on microstructure, selection of compatible ceramic reinforcing phases, and whisker alignment through injection molding.

ABSTRACTIron aluminides are of considerable interest due to their low cost, relatively high melting point, relatively low density, and excellent resistance to oxidation, sulfidation and molten salts. However, poor ductility and fracture toughness at room temperature hinder their use as a structural material. Refining of the microstructure is known to be one method to increase the room temperature ductility. Mechanical alloying (MA) is an easy way to obtain fine microstructures. In addition, pulse discharge sintering (PDS) is a new technology which suppresses grain growth during sintering because the sparks generated during sintering break the surface oxide layer of the powder particles and thus speed up the sintering process. Therefore, the combination of MA and PDS processes results in final products with very fine microstructures. Fe-28at.%Al alloy and its composite reinforced with 5vol.% of TiB2 particles were fabricated by the MA-PDS process. The mechanical properties of these materials were improved significantly as compared to conventionally processed materials.

Chemical reaction can occur at the fiber/matrix interface of intermetallic matrix composites, leading to a degradation of mechanical properties. Fe–40Al matrix composites were fabricated using SiC, B, W, Mo-base, and Al2O3 fibers. Composite samples were heat treated up to 1500 K to study the reaction kinetics, and reaction rates were determined from reaction zone thickness measurements. The Al2O3 and W fibers were found to be compatible with the Fe–40Al matrix, while the Mo-based fibers reacted moderately and the B and SiC fibers reacted severely. Experimental results are compared to theoretical thermodynamic predictions.

Intermetallic matrix composites reinforced with ceramic particles have received a great deal of attention. Iron aluminide is known to be a good material for the matrix in such composites. Two processes were used to fabricate FeAl - TiB 2 intermetallic matrix composites. One was liquid melt in-situ mixing, and the other was arc melting and suction casting processes. FeAl - TiB 2 IMCs obtained by two different methods were investigated to elucidate the influence of TiB 2 content. In both methods, the grain size in the FeAl alloy decreased with the presence of titanium diboride. The grain size of in-situ FeAl - TiB 2 IMCs became smaller than that of arc FeAl - TiB 2 IMCs. Significant increase in fracture stress and hardness was achieved in the composites. The in-situ process gives clean, contamination-free matrix/reinforcement interface which maintained good bonding causing high load bearing capability. This contributed to the increase in the mechanical properties of composites.

Oxidation behaviours of SiC and TiC particulate reinforced Ti 3 Al intermetallic matrix composites at 700-800°C have been studied. The results showed that composites had lower oxidation rates than the cast Ti 3 Al . The most encouraging improvement is that they all possess excellent scale spallation resistance, no spallation could be observed from the composite specimens during all tests. Based on SEM and XRD results, the mechanisms of oxidation and spallation for these composites were discussed briefly.
