Electroless plating technology was applied in order to improve the poor wettability between copper and SiC. β-SiC(w+p)/Cu composites were fabricated by hot-press sintering. The influences of SiC volume fraction on microstructure, relative density and wear propertity were researched in detail. It turned out that SiC particles and wiskers distributed in Cu matrix homogeneously. And with the increase of SiC volume fraction, the relative density and friction coefficient were reduced respectively, the wear-resistant improved greatly.

Electroless plating technology was applied in order to improve the poor wettability between the copper and SiC. SiCp/Cu composites were frbricated by hot-press sintering technique. The influences of SiC particles (Cu-coated and Cu-uncoated) and SiCp/Cu-5vol%n-SiC on microstructures, relative density, bending strength and coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) were researched in detail. The results show that SiC particles distributed in Cu matrix uniformly. And a certain amount of SiC, the relative density and bending strength of SiCp/Cu(Cu-coated) composite were greater than SiCp/Cu(Cu-uncoated) composite, and the coefficient of thermal expansion was opposite, Between SiCp/Cu(Cu-coated) and SiCp/Cu-5vol% nanoscale SiC(n-SiC), the relative density and bending strength of SiCp/Cu(Cu-coated) were more than SiCp/Cu-5vol%n-SiC, and CTE was different.

In order to improve the interfacial wettability between Cu and β-SiC, electroless plating was employed to deposit a copper film on β-SiC particles. The β-SiC/Cu composites with different volume fraction ( from 30% to 60% ) were fabricated by hot-press sintering technique. The microstructures, bending strengths were investigated by SEM and a tensile machine. The results showed that the uniform and continuous Cu coating on the β-SiC particles can be obtained after electroless plating. With the increase of volume fraction of β-SiC particles, the bending strength decreased gradually. The fractographs revealed that the composites had mixed-fracture characteristics of cleavages and dimples.

Copper-matrix composites reinforced with SiC particles are prepared by mechanical alloying. The microstructure characteristics, relative density, hardness, tensile strength, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and wear properties of the composites are investigated in this paper. The results indicate that the relative density, macro-hardness and mechanical properties of composites are improved by modifying the surface of SiC particles with Cu and Ni . The electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of composites, however, are not obviously improved. For a given volume fraction of SiC , the Cu / SiC ( Ni ) has higher mechanical properties than Cu / SiC ( Cu ). The wear resistance of the composites are improved by the addition of SiC . The composites with optimized interface have lower wear rate.

AbstractTo reduce the friction coefficient of cobalt-cemented tungsten carbide (WC-12Co) wear-resistant coatings, graphene was compounded into WC-12Co powder via wet ball milling and spray granulation. Self-lubricating and wear-resistant graphene coatings were prepared via detonation gun spraying. The presence, morphologies, and phase compositions of graphene in the powders and coatings that are obtained through different powder preparation processes were analyzed. The analysis was performed using the following technologies: energy-dispersive X-ray-spectroscopy (EDXS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman spectroscopy. The mechanical properties of the coatings were studied using a microhardness tester and a universal drawing machine. The friction and wear properties of the coatings were studied using an SRV-4 friction and wear tester. The results showed that the graphene content in the WC-12Co coating modified with graphene was higher than that without modification; graphene was embedded in the structure in a transparent and thin-layer state. The adhesive strength of this coating at approximately 25 °C was approximately 60.33 MPa, and the hardness was approximately 984 HV0.3. After high-temperature treatment, the adhesive strength and hardness of the graphene oxide (GO)/WC-12Co coating decreased slightly (the lowest adhesive strength of 53.16 MPa was observed after treatment at 400 °C, and the lowest hardness of approximately 837 HV0.3 was observed after treatment at 300 °C). Compared to the friction coefficient (0.6) of the WC-12Co coating obtained at room temperature, the friction coefficient of the GO/WC-12Co coating was decreased by approximately 50% of that value. The graphene-modified coating was continuously exposed to the wear tracks on the surface of the contacting materials during friction, and a lubricating film was formed in the microareas in which the wear tracks were present. The coating exhibited improved self-lubricating and wear-resistant effects compared to the unmodified WC-12Co coating. The results of this study demonstrated that graphene could be effective in self-lubrication and wear-reduction in a temperature range of 100–200 °C, as a friction coefficient of 0.3 was maintained.

SiC particle reinforced AlCu5Mn composite foams (SiCp/ZAlCu5Mn composite foams) were fabricated by the direct foaming of the melt. The quasi-static compressive properties of SiCp/ZAlCu5Mn composite foams were tested by compressive test. The effects of SiC particle, the average diameter of pores, and the relative density on the quasi-static compressive properties of SiCp/ZAlCu5Mn composite foams were performed with the universal material testing machine. The microstructure of SiCp/ZAlCu5Mn composite was studied by SEM. The results show that choosing small size of SiC particles as reinforced material, thinning pore diameter, and increasing the relative density of SiCp/ZAlCu5Mn composite foams with the same volume fraction of SiC particles can improve the energy absorption ability under the quasi-static loading. SiCp/ZAlCu5Mn composite foams are of well compressive property. The compressive deformation course of SiCp/ZAlCu5Mn composite foams involves three stages that are the linearly elastic deformation region, the collapse plateau region, and the densification region. The test results may be influenced by strain gauge, data processing method, shape of incident wave etc.

The ZrC-W composites with iron as sintering additive were fabricated by hot-press sintering. The densification, microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. The incorporation of Fe beneficially promotes the densification of ZrC-W composites. The relative density of the composite sintered at 1900°C can attain 95.3%. W2C phase is also found in the ZrC-W composite sintered at 1700°C. The content of W2C decreases with the increase of sintering temperature. However, W2C phase is not identified in the composite sintered at 1900°C. The flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composites are strongly dependent on sintering temperature. The flexural strength and fracture toughness of ZrC-W composite sintered at optimized temperature of 1800°C are 438 MPa and 3.99 MPa·m1/2, respectively.

Effects of different sintering methods such as pressureless sintering and hot press sintering on relative density and microstructure of the Al2O3p/LiTaO3 (ALT) composite ceramics were investigated to obtain a preferable sintering process. Relative densities of all ALT composites are below 90% when sintered with the cold isostatical pressing followed by pressureless sintering at temperatures of 1250 to 1350°C. The relative densities and microstructure of ALT composite ceramics with the hot press sintering process in a N2 atmosphere at 1150 and 1300°C were investigated. The relative density of ALT composite hot pressed at 1150°C is only 77%, and almost theoretical density at 1300°C. This indicates that sintering pressure plays an important role in the densification of ALT composite ceramics in temperature range of 1150 to 1350°C. Investigation on morphologies of the composites shows that the Al2O3 particles distributed along grain boundaries of LiTaO3, which leads to a fine-grained microstructure in the ALT composite ceramics

SiC-TiB2/B4C composites were fabricated by hot-press sintering B4C with silicon powder and tetrabutyl titanate (precursor of TiO2) as sintering and reinforcement agents. The influence of additives on hot-press sintering densification, microstructure and properties of composites were studied. The results showed that TiB2 and SiC generated by chemical reaction between additives and B4C matrix reinforced the sintering activity of the mixed powders and accelerated significantly the hot-press sintering densification rate of B4C from 1200 °C to 1700 °C. According to the SEM observation, the second phase of TiB2 and SiC particles synthetized in situ sited along the grain boundaries of B4C, meanwhile, those SiC particles of nanoscale size embedded into the B4C grains, and thereby, intra/inter-type ceramics formed. The maximum relative density of 98.1% was obtained with 9wt.% TiO2. The typical valus of Vickers hardness, bending strength and fracture toughness can reach 26.7 GPa, 580 MPa and 5.0 MPam1/2, respectively.

Generally speaking, the major parameter which has been used to monitor the dynamic tribological properties of the films over the past decades is friction coefficient. However, it has shown low in sensitivity for many cases. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce more improved physical measurements other than the friction coefficient to monitor and control the film tribological characteristics in sliding contacts. In view of this, the novel technology of using instead surface magnetization variations for evaluating the wear-resistant properties of the films is proposed. The experiment was conducted by the pairs of SUS304 rubbing with SKD11 substrate with different TiN films (PVD and CVD) on the surface at different normal loads in dry friction process. According to the experimental results of the dynamic variations of surface magnetization and friction coefficient with the SEM observations of the wear tracks, the effects of normal loads on the friction and wear properties for the die surfaces with different TiN films can be investigated. The experimental results show that the continuous surface magnetization variations can be used to determine the timing of film fracture and the endurance life more accurately than that by the friction coefficient variations as usual. Therefore, the novel method of using surface magnetization variations does show great potentialities for evaluating the tribological properties of the die surfaces with different TiN films.
