The Matrix

In this study, in situ aluminum matrix composites were synthesized through pyrolysis of high temperature vulcanization silicone in commercially pure aluminum melt. For this purpose, 1 to 4 wt% of high temperature vulcanization silicone was added to a vortex of molten aluminum at 750℃ and the resulting slurries were cast in steel dies. Microstructure, hardness, and tensile properties of the as-cast samples were examined at ambient and high temperatures. The results revealed the in situ formation and distribution of reinforcement particles in the matrix. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis indicated that the formed reinforcement particles consisted of O and Si elements. This confirms the in situ reinforcement formation by pyrolysis of high temperature vulcanization silicone in the melt. The size of the in situ formed particles was mostly in the range of 200–2000 nm. It was shown that the composites synthesized by the addition of 4 wt% high temperature vulcanization had the highest mechanical properties both at ambient and high temperatures. Room temperature hardness, tensile strength, and yield strength of this sample were increased by about 50%, 23%, and 19% compared to the monolithic sample, respectively.

ABSTRACTAnodization is effective for improving the corrosion resistance of aluminum-matrix composites. For SiC particle filled aluminum, anodization was performed successfully in sulfuric acid electrolyte, as usual. However, for AlN particle filled aluminum, anodization needed to be performed in an alkaline (0.7 N NaOH) electrolyte, because NaOH reduced the reaction between AlN and water, whereas an acid enhanced this reaction. The concentration of NaOH in the electrolyte was critical; too high a concentration caused the dissolution of the anodizing product (Al2O3) by the NaOH, whereas too low a concentration did not provide enough ions for the electrochemical process. The corrosion properties and anodization characteristic of pure aluminum, Al/AlN and Al/SiC were compared. Without anodization, pure Al had better corrosion resistance than the composites and Al/SiC had better corrosion resistance than Al/AlN. After anodization, the corrosion resistance of Al/AlN was better than Al/SiC and both composites were better than pure Al without anodization, but still not as good as the anodized pure Al.

Aluminum matrix composite is one of the most attractive metal matrix composites. It is a kind of material with strong vitality emerging in response to the needs of modern scientific development. Compared with traditional materials, aluminum matrix composites have the advantages of low density, good electric conductivity and heat conductivity, good wear resistance and oxidation resistance, high specific strength and stiffness, high temperature resistance, good heat treatment performance and flexible preparation process, which make them widely used in the fields of aviation, aerospace, and automobile. In this paper, the factors affecting the properties of aluminum matrix composites, the strengthening mechanism, classification and preparation methods of aluminum matrix composites are summarized. The research status, development direction and application prospect of aluminum matrix composites are briefly introduced.

Semisolid slurries of 7075 aluminum matrix composite reinforced with nano-sized SiC particles were fabricated by ultrasonic assisted semisolid stirring (UASS) method. Rheoforming and thixoforming of typical cylindrical parts were investigated. The results show that high-quality semisolid slurries with spheroidal solid grain of 38 µm were fabricated by UASS. The nano-sized SiC particles were dispersed uniformly due to transient cavitation and acoustic streaming of ultrasonic wave and high and controllable viscosity of semisolid slurry. Typical cylindrical composite parts with good surface quality and complete filling were rheoformed and thixoformed successfully. Ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the rheoformed and thixoformed composite parts are enhanced due to addition of nano-sized SiC particles. However, elongation decreased as compared to those of the matrix parts. Maximum UTS of 550 MPa was achieved in the thixoformed composite part with T6 treatment. Increase of dislocation density around the reinforcement particles leads to improvement of the strength and wear resistance of the composite.

Alumina reinforced aluminum matrix composites (Al-5wt.%Si-Al2O3) fabricated by powder metallurgy through hot isotactic pressing were sintered in different processes, i.e. solid and liquid phase sintering. Optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) techniques were used to characterize the sintered composites. The effects of solid phase and liquid phase sintering on density, microstructure, microhardness, compression and shear strength were investigated. It was found that in situ chemical reaction was completed in solid phase sintering, but the composites had lower microhardness, comprehension and shear strength due to low density and segregation of alumina and Si particles in microstructure. Segregation of reinforcement particles in solid phase sintering resulted from character of solid reaction and Si diffusion at high temperature over a long hold time.

The ultrasonically brazing of 55 vol.% SiCp/A356 composites in air has been investigated. When the ultrasonic vibration is applied for 0.5s, the oxide layer is still continuous at most places between the filler metal and the composites. The shear strength is only ~30% of that of the base composites. As the ultrasonic action time increases, the oxide film sufficiently disappears in the bond region, and the wetted area between the filler metal and SiC particles increases gradually. As a consequence of this, the shear strength of bonds also increases with the ultrasonically acting time. The maximum value of the shear strength of the bonds reaches 165.5MPa when the ultrasonic acting time increases to 5s, which is similar to the shear strength of the base composites.

Aluminum matrix composites reinforced with silicon carbide particles (SiCp) were deposited by laser cladding on AA6082 aluminum alloy. Different compositions of the matrix of the composites coating were used and different amounts of Si and Ti were added to a base of Al-12Si in order to control the reactivity between molten aluminum and SiCp during laser cladding. The corrosion behavior of the coatings deposited was evaluated in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution using gravimetric analyses and electrochemical polarization tests. The corrosion products observed were Al(OH)3 and Al2O3, and they formed a layer that limited the evolution of corrosion. However, the presence of discontinuities in it reduced the corrosion resistance of the coating. The corrosion mechanisms were different depending on the coating composition. The addiction of Ti to the alloy allowed for better corrosion behavior for the composite coating than that of the aluminum substrate.

Aluminum Anodizing

ABSTRACTAluminum-matrix composites are attractive in their combination of low CTE and high thermal conductivity. Anodizing is an effective surface treatment for improving the corrosion resistance of aluminum-matrix composites. ForSiC filled aluminum, anodizing was performed successfully in an acid electrolyte, as usual. However, for AIN filled aluminum, anodizing needed to be performed in an alkaline (NaOH) electrolyte instead of an acid electrolyte, because NaOH reduced the reaction between AIN and water, whereas an acid enhanced this reaction. The concentration of NaOH in the electrolyte was critical; too high a concentration of NaOH caused the dissolution of the anodizing product (A12O3) by the NaOH, whereas too low a concentration of NaOH did not provide enough ions for the electrochemical process.
