Heat Treatment of Composites Fabricated by Powder Metallurgy

In recent years Al2024 alloy had increasing applications in all the areas due to its good formability, excellent properties and etc. By using nano size B4C as size and graphite as reinforcements the fabrication process are done by Powder metallurgy process with overall 12 compositions primary and secondary specimens. Nano B4C are used as reinforcements from 3-15% with step of 3% as primary specimen and with addition of graphite of 3% in every reinforcements same manufactured. All specimens are manufactured by powder metallurgy technique and had a wide application. Hardness values are taken and each specimen is subjected to aging process. In aging process are subjected to 495°C and soaking for 2 to 10 hours. The cooling process can done by in three medium water. In each case hardness values are taken with micro Vickers tests. All results are taken shows that increase in hardness with aging process. FESEM analysis is conducted to know the microstructure of composites

Composite Samples

In order to make full use of the wear resistance and antifriction of the mixed reinforced particles, improve the performance and utilization rate of the composite material, and reduce its wear amount, in this study, graphite and aluminum composite materials with different graphite concentration were prepared by powder metallurgy process. On this basis, the influence of different graphite concentration on the friction coefficient and wear amount of composite samples and different load on the wear amount of composite materials were discussed and analyzed. The results show that with the increase of graphite content, the friction coefficient and wear amount of the composite will decrease correspondingly. When the load is less than 30 N, the wear curve of the sample changes steadily. When the load is more than 30 N, the wear will increase sharply. Therefore, the analysis of the tribological properties of the graphite and aluminum composites based on the powder metallurgy process plays an important role in improving the utilization rate of the composite and reducing its wear.

Metallurgy Process

Copper matrix composite reinforced with fly ash is prepared by powder metallurgy process. Three composites with 0%, 2.5% and 5% fly ash proportion are prepared. The specimens were compacted at 450MPa and Sintered at 950℃ for a period of 30 minutes in powder metallurgy technique. The prepared specimens were subjected to different corrosion environments (alkaline and acidic) and the corroded surface will be analysed using SEM/EDX.
