Al2O3/TiAl in situ composites were successfully prepared by vacuum hot-pressing method with elemental powder mixtures of Ti, Al, TiO2 and Fe2O3. The effect of Fe2O3 addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of Al2O3/TiAl composites has been investigated. The results show that the Rockwell hardness, flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composites increase with increasing Fe2O3 content. When the Fe2O3 content is 0.84 wt %, the flexural strength and the fracture toughness reach the maximum value of 624 MPa and 6.63 MPa·m1/2, respectively. The improvement of mechanical properties is firstly associated with a more homogeneous and finer microstructure developed by addition of Fe2O3; secondly, it is related to the increase of the ratio of α2-Ti3Al/γ- TiAl matrix phases.

Eutectic Al–Si binary alloy is technically one of the most important Al casting alloys due to its high corrosion resistance, evident shrinkage reduction, low thermal expansion coefficient, high fluidity, and good weldability. In this work, multiphased Al–Si matrix nanocomposites reinforced with Al2O3and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been sintered by anin situvacuum hot-pressing method. The alumina Al2O3nanoparticles were introduced by anin situreaction of Al with SiO2. Microstructure and mechanical properties of the sintered Al/Si/Al2O3/SiO2/MWCNTs nanocomposites with different alumina contents were investigated. The mechanical properties were determined by micro-Vickers hardness and compressive and shear strength tests. The results demonstrated thatin situalumina and MWCNTs had impacts on microstructure and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites. Based on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the nanocomposites, strengthening and fracture mechanisms by multiple reinforcements were analyzed.

Abstract The present work investigates the possibility of using powder metallurgy processing for producing a metal matrix composite. Materials were prepared from AlSi5Cu2 chips with reinforcement of 10, 15, 20 wt. % silicon carbide. Aluminum alloy chips were milled with SiC powder in a high-energy ball mill by 40 hours. Mechanical alloying process lead to obtain an uniform distribution of hard SiC particles in the metallic matrix and refine the grain size. The consolidation of composite powders was performed by vacuum hot pressing at 450°C, under pressure of 600 MPa by 10 min. The results shows that the addition of SiC particles has a substantial influence on the microstructure and mechanical properties of composite powder as well as consolidated material. Hot pressing is an effective consolidation method which leads to obtain dense AlSi5Cu2/SiC composite with homogeneous structure and advanced mechanical properties.
