In this study, we investigated the effects of a small addition of Cu (0.1%) or Ge (0.1%) on the microstructure and mechanical property of Al-Si alloys. The results are as follows. The size of precipitates in the Cu-added or Ge-added alloys is smaller than that in the binary alloy. The size of the precipitates at the grain boundary in the Cu-added or Ge-added alloys is larger than the size of the precipitates in the binary alloy. However, the number of the precipitates at the grain boundary in the Cu-added and Ge-added alloys is smaller than that in the binary alloy. It was found that a small addition of Cu or Ge has the effect of raising the fatigue strength under repeated tensile loading as well as the tensile strength.

A new nanomicro composite self-lubricating ceramic tool material was prepared with vacuum hot pressing technique. The effect of nanoAl2O3 powders on the microstructure and mechanical properties of nanomicro composite self-lubricating ceramic tool material was investigated. With the increase of nanoAl2O3 content, the hardness and fracture toughness first up then down. When the nanoAl2O3 content is 4 vol.%, the flexural strength, hardness and fracture toughness reaches 562 MPa, 8.46 MPa·m1/2 and 18.95 GPa, respectively. The microstructure and mechanical property of nanomicro composite self-lubricating ceramic tool material can be improved by the grain refinement strengthening of nanoAl2O3.

Comparison of microstructures between LPSed and SSSed SiC ceramics were made. Several kinds of structure defects for LPSed SiC were emphasized to discuss. They related with whole flow path of processing, compositional design of powder mixture, spray granulation of powder mixture, milling, shaping, and sintering control. All could affect the microstructure and mechanical property of resultant ceramics.

ABSTRACTHybrids of quaternary ammonium-modified montmorillonites and polypropylene were prepared by melting intercalation. Results of mechanical property measurements show that, tensile strength, modulus and impact strength of PP composites are greatly enhanced simultaneously by a small addition amount of modified montmorillonites.
