The use of silicon carbide particles (SiCp) as reinforcement in aluminium (Al)-based composites (Al/SiCp) can offer high hardness and high stiffness. The rare-earth elements like lanthanum (La) and cerium (Ce) and transition metals like nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) were added into the matrix to form intermetallic phases; this is one way to improve the mechanical property of the composite at elevated temperatures. The α-Al15(Fe,Mn)3Si2, Al20(La,Ce)Ti2, and Al11(La,Ce)3, π-Al8FeMg3Si6 phases are formed. Nanoindentation was employed to measure the hardness and elastic modulus of the phases formed in the composite alloys. The rule of mixture was used to predict the modulus of the matrix alloys. The Halpin–Tsai model was applied to calculate the elastic modulus of the particle-reinforced composites. The transition metals (Ni and Cu) and rare-earth elements (La and Ce) determined a 5–15% increase of the elastic modulus of the matrix alloy. The SiC particles increased the elastic modulus of the matrix alloy by 10–15% in composite materials.

AbstractThe double dilution method has many important advantages. For any element to be determined, let us say A, It enables us to control or calculate the matrix factor (sum of the absorption end enhancement effects) for the sample being Investigated towards A radiation, and it furnishes corrected Intensities which are strictly proportional to A concentration. Thus the results are exact, whatever the general composition of the sample, their accuracy depending only on the quality of measurement and preparation. Another major practical advantage is that the method does not require systematic calibration but only a few permanent standards consisting of a pure compound or of an accurately known sample.The procedure has been tested successfully for accurate determination of rare earth elements using, for solid materials such as ores and oxide mixtures, the borax fusion technique. It also can be readily applied to liquids. All the rare earth elements can be titrated by that method, as well as yttrium, thorium and, if necessary, all the elements relevant to X-ray fluorescence analysis. The concentration range considered for solids is of one comprised between 0.5 and 100 % and, with a lesser accuracy, between 0.1 and 0-5 % Examples are given relative to the analysis of various ores. Finally it rcust be pointed out that the method is universal and applies to the analysis of every solid, especially ores, provided that they can be converted to solid or liquid solutions. It appears that most industrial analyses can be worked on In this way.

ABSTRACT6061 Al-matrix composite with TiNi shape memory fiber as reinforcement has been fabricated by vacuum hot pressing to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties. The yield stress of this composite increases with increasing amount of prestrain, and it also depends on the volume fraction of fiber and heat treatment. The smartness of the composite is given due to the shape memory effect of the TiNi fiber which generates compressive residual stresses in the matrix material when heated after being prestrained. Microstructual observations have revealed that interfacial reactions occur between the matrix and fiber, creating two intermetallic layers. The flow strength of the composite at elevated temperatures is significantly higher than that of the matrix alloy without TiNi fiber.

In this paper, a summary of investigations of the microstructure of cast magnesium matrix composites is presented. Analyses of the interfaces between the reinforcing particles and the magnesium alloy matrices were performed. Technically pure magnesium and four various alloys with aluminum and rare earth elements (RE) were chosen as the matrix. The composites were reinforced with SiC and Ti particles, as well as hollow aluminosilicate cenospheres. Microstructure analyses were carried out by light, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy. The composites with the matrix of magnesium and magnesium–aluminum alloys with SiC and Ti particles exhibited coherent interfaces between the components. In the composites based on ternary magnesium alloy with Al and RE with Ti particles, a high-melting Al2RE phase nucleated on the titanium. Different types of interfaces between the components were observed in the composites based on the magnesium–rare earth elements alloy with SiC particles, in which a chemical reaction between the components caused formation of the Re3Si2 phase. Intensive chemical reactions between the components were also observed in the composites with aluminosilicate cenospheres. Additionally, the influence of coatings created on the aluminosilicate cenospheres on the bond with the magnesium matrix was presented. A scheme of the types of interfaces between the components is proposed.

In this paper, continuous carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix (Cf/Al) composite plate with complex curved surface is fabricated by liquid-solid infiltration extrusion. The influence of fabrication parameters, such as the melting temperature, extrusion temperature and extrusion pressure on the Cf/Al composite plate is studied. The experimental results show that the liquid-solid infiltration extrusion process can be used to fabricate the Cf/Al composite with curved surface. The Cf/Al composite exhibits good infiltration and well-formed quality when the extrusion pressure is 50MPa, the extrusion temperature is 670°C and the melting temperature is 690°C. According to the microstructure observation, the carbon fiber uniformly distributes in the aluminum alloy matrix without damage and obvious defects. The density of the composite is decreased by 17.9%, from 2.71g/cm3 to 2.29g/cm3, which is lower than that of the matrix alloy, and the ultimate tensile strength is increased by 120% compared with the matrix alloy, from 127MPa to 279MPa.

Multiple use of pan concentrate from placer deposits directly in technical process without prealltoment of pure components could become one of promising directions in the field of receiving wide range of multicomponent metal and ceramic powdered materials. In this paper as the object of comparative examination, we present the hemimethylated plating made of exploited experimentative flux cored wires based on industrial Ni-Cr-B-Si system powder modified with rare-earth elements of concentrated complex from Tomtor mineral assets Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The structure of received plating is heterogeneous and has oxidation coating as boundaries. According to the data of the phase shift analysis plating predominantly consist of Fe-Ni austenitic alloy phases with the Cr, Si carbide and Cr boride precipitation strengthening, plating generally consist of Al2O3, Cr2O3 и Fe2O3 oxide. The research of the plating ultimate composition testifies the equable allocation of main and alloying elements, local location of some elements in the structure of the plating. Microhardness of flux cored wire plating substantially depends on composition and fabricated structure. It has been established that the introduction of rare earth elements provided the formation of strengthening phase with the high hardness of plating resulting in wear resistance increase.
