Refinement Effect

Al-Mg2Si in-situ composite have received wider attention due to their improved properties which mark them as attractive candidate to manufacture most of automotive and aerospace components. Result show that the melt treatment of the in-situ composite by addition of antimony caused to refining the morphology of primary Mg2Si reinforcement which would expect to improve the mechanical properties. Effect of Sb on the characteristics parameters of Mg2Si particles have been investigated by thermal and microstructural analysis. The result has revealed that addition of 0.8 wt.% Sb produced optimum refinement effect on the morphology as coarse structure has been changed to polygon one. The result also showed depression with nucleation temperature, TN and growth temperature, TG which also correspond to the refinement effect.

Refinement Effect

Al-Mg2Si in-situ composite as a class of advanced engineering materials has possessed better properties which enhanced them to be potential candidate to manufacture most of automotive and aerospace components. Melt treatment of the in-situ composite by addition of bismuth, Bi has resulted in a change of primary Mg2Si reinforcement to a refined morphology which would expect to improve mechanical properties of the composite. Characteristics parameters of Mg2Si particles have been investigated via thermal and microstructural analysis. It has revealed that 0.4wt.% Bi addition produced optimum refinement effect on the morphology since coarse structure has been change to polygon one and reduced most in size. The result also showed depression in nucleation temperature, TN and growth temperature, TG which also correspond to the refinement effect.

Owing to its beneficial material properties, Al-Mg2Si in-situ composite has recently received wide attention and application in the manufacture of automotive and aerospace components. Melt treatment of the in-situ composite with the addition of Ce has resulted in a change in the primary and eutectic Mg2Si phases to refined morphology, which would be expected to improve the mechanical properties of the composite. Characteristic parameters of Mg2Si particles have been investigated via thermal and microstructural analysis. This has revealed that the addition of 0.8wt.% Ce produced optimum refinement effects on Mg2SiP because the coarse structure has been changed to a polygonal shape and reduced in size. Similarly, the flake-like morphology of Mg2SiE has been transformed into a rod-like or fibre form in addition to reduction of the eutectic cell area. The result also showed an increase in nucleation temperature TN of Mg2SiP while depressed for Mg2SiE, which also corresponds to the refinement morphology effect.

Particulate Reinforced

Advantage of Al-Mg2Si metal matrix composite (MMC) is due to the particulate reinforced Mg2Si in the Al matrix that has improved mechanical properties of the in situ composite. In particular, the composite has been chosen as the structural material for automotive and aerospace components. The hypereutectic Al-Mg2Si composite should be comprised of two morphologies, namely primary Mg2Si and pseudo-eutectic Al-Mg2Si phase. However, as-received commercial Al-20Mg2Si-2Cu in situ composite contained a wide range of elements that affect the resultant microstructure of the in situ composite. In fact, four different morphologies have been identified in the in situ composites. The first phase is dark facet primary Mg2Si particles, surrounded by pseudo-eutectic Al-Mg2Si phase in lamellar structure. Along the eutectic boundary is the formation of needle-like Al5FeSi intermetallic and the phase is surrounded by Al5Mg8Si6Cu2+Al2Cu as last phase nucleated. Optical micrograph, SEM imaging, EDX analysis and elemental mapping have revealed these phases correspond to shape of morphologies and respective molecular compound.

Embrittlement Resistance

We report the hydrogenation characteristics and mechanical properties of Ti50Zr25Cu25 in situ composite ribbons, composed of β-Ti crystalline phase dispersed in an amorphous matrix. Upon cathodic charging at room temperature, high hydrogen absorption up to ∼60 at.% (H/M = ∼1.2) is obtained. At such a high concentration, hydrogen-induced amorphization occurs. Mechanical tests conducted on the composite with varying hydrogen concentrations indicate that the Ti50Zr25Cu25 alloy is significantly resistant to hydrogen embrittlement when compared to conventional amorphous alloys. A possible mechanism that would contribute toward hydrogen-induced amorphization and hydrogen embrittlement is discussed.

Primary Carbides

In the present study, a Fe-Cr-C hypereutectic alloy was prepared from industry-grade materials and subjected to modification and fluctuation, through which new types of particle reinforced composites, hypereutectic in-situ composite, was generated. The structures of the composite modified or not with the range of fluctuation addition from 0% to 2.8wt.%, were investigated. The primary carbides were refined with the addition of modifying agents and fluctuations. Increasing the amount of fluctuation resulted in finer primary carbides. At 1380oC, with the addition of modifying agents and 2.8wt.% fluctuation addition, the structure was well modified.
