This paper explores new approaches in design and fabrication of novel composite materials in order to increase corrosion and wear resistance. By mimicking nature, nacreous particles from seashells were used as reinforcement in an aluminum matrix. A powder metallurgy process was developed to fabricate the nacreous-reinforced-aluminum matrix composites. Mechanical properties, corrosion, and wear resistance were characterized. Experimental results showed that the corrosion resistance increases as the nacreous concentration increases. The hardness and wear resistance increased by up to 22% and 10%, respectively. With oxidation of aluminum during heat treatment, the mentioned properties were further improved by about 32–37%.

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.

Aluminum is a material with advantageous properties such as lightness, good conductivity, high plastic deformation ability, and superior corrosion resistance. However, aluminum and many aluminum alloys have disadvantages in terms of mechanical properties such as hardness, tensile strength, and wear resistance. To overcome this disadvantage of aluminum, it is a good method to add ceramic particles to the matrix. For this purpose, in this study, B4C (boron carbide)-reinforced AA2014 aluminum matrix composites were fabricated at 3%, 5%, and 7% reinforcement ratios using the stir casting method. Tensile tests, wear tests, cutting force measurements, and microhardness measurements were performed to determine the fabricated composite materials’ mechanical properties. Scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy were used to analyze the microstructure of composite. X-ray diffraction analysis was utilized to study the phase identification. As a result of the study, it was observed that with the increase in the B4C reinforcement ratio, the mechanical properties of the aluminum matrix composite material, such as wear resistance, cutting strength, and hardness, increased. On the other hand, the change in tensile strength did not occur in this way. Tensile strength first increased and then decreased. The highest value of tensile strength was achieved at 5% B4C reinforcement. X-ray diffraction results showed that AA2014 and B4C were the fundamental elements in composites and are free from intermetallics.

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).

Abstract Carpenter CTS-204P (Micro Melt 20-4) alloy is a highly wear- and corrosion-resistant, air-hardening martensitic cold-work stainless die steel produced using Carpenter’s Micro-Melt powder metallurgy process. The excellent wear resistance of the alloy is provided by a significant volume fraction of hard vanadium-rich carbides, while the outstanding corrosion resistance of the alloy is obtained as a result of the chromium-rich matrix. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on corrosion and wear resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: SS-1051. Producer or source: Carpenter Specialty Alloys.
