This paper describes a fabrication process of Al/CNT composites and investigated their mechanical properties. CNT is a very useful reinforcement for composites since it has a very high strength and very high Young’s modulus. However, it is very difficult to distribute CNT in a metal matrix. Natural rubber was used as an elastomer and mixed with Al powder and CNT precursors to improve the distribution of the CNT in Al matrix. The resulting powder mixture was filled into Al alloy billets and encapsulated in vacuum atmosphere. The billets were then extruded with different extrusion ratios of 5, 10 and 20 at 673K. The composites were observed under optical microscope and FE-SEM, and the mechanical properties were evaluated by Vickers hardness and tensile tests. We succeeded in obtaining fully densified and finely extruded rod of Al/CNT composites of well distributed CNT by hot extrusion process. Observation of post extrusion micro structures revealed that CNT were not damaged by the hot extrusion process and their Vickers hardness and tensile strengths obtained were about twice compared to pure Al.

Internal oxidation Cu-Al alloy sheet processing has been used to prepare dispersion-strengthened Al2O3/Cu composites. A new technique has been developed that successfully avoids mixed Cu-Al powder preparation, H2-reduction, and sintering processes. The microstructure and phase were investigated by metallurgical microscope, SEM, and TEM. Holding-time, internal oxidation temperature and thickness of Cu-Al alloy sheet were the three key factors with regard to preparing Al2O3/Cu composites by internal oxidation in Cu-Al alloy sheet. The mechanical characteristics and electric properties of Al2O3/Cu composites sheet and hot-extruded rod were examined. The results show hot extrusion process enhances microhardness and ultimate tensile strength to a higher level with and exerts a little influence on high electrical conductivity.

Modern forming processes often allow today the efficient production of complex parts. In order to increase the sustainability of forming processes it would be favorable if the forming of workpieces becomes possible using production waste. At the Chair of Forming and Machining Technology of the Paderborn University (LUF) research is presently conducted with the overall goal to produce workpieces directly from secondary aluminum (e.g., powder and chips). Therefore, friction-based forming processes like friction spinning (or cognate processes) are used due to their high efficiency. As a pre-step, the production of semi-finished parts was the subject of accorded research work at the LUF. Therefore, a friction-based hot extrusion process was used for the full recycling or rework of aluminum chips into profiles. Investigations of the recycled semi-finished products show that they are comparable to conventionally produced semi-finished products in terms of dimensional stability and shape accuracy. An analysis of the mechanical properties of hardness and tensile strength shows that a final product with good and homogeneously distributed properties can be produced. Furthermore, significant correlations to the friction spinning process could be found that are useful for the above-mentioned direct part production from secondary aluminum.

In order to study the influence of extrusion process on texture development of alloys, numerical simulation methods were used to simulate the round and shape extrusion process and deformation texture. Extrusion of Mg-Y magnesium alloy was carried out at the temperature of 673K with different ram speeds to verify the simulation results. Instead of using the Lagrangian FE method, the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method was employed in this study so that a more accurate description of the steady-state extrusion process can be achieved. By obtaining strain histories of specified material tracer particles, the coupling of deformation and crystal plasticity theory was applied to simulate the texture evolution in hot extrusion. The results showed that the texture simulation corresponded well with the experimental ones. The study proposes a method to analyze the steady-state extrusion process and texture evolution, and can be used as a useful tool in optimizing the extrusion process.

Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) based on Aluminum Alloys 2024, 6061 and 7075 reinforced with Graphene was fabricated using powder metallurgy process followed by hot extrusion process. The extruded samples were used for conducting the turning experiments to evaluate the machinability of the developed composites. Turning experiments were conducted in ACE Micromatic made CNC lathe as per the Design of Experiments (DOE) designed using L18 Taguchi’s mixed orthogonal array. Uncoated and DLC coated carbide inserts, along with three levels of cutting speeds, feed rates and depths of cut were considered for the turning experiments. During the experiments the cutting force generated was recorded “online” and subsequent to the experimentation the surface roughness generated on the work piece and the surface hardness for every trial were recorded. The influence of the cutting tool material and other cutting parameters on the machinability of composites was analyzed using ANOVA. The microstructural observation on the surface of the machined specimen reveals the detachment of reinforcement materials from the composite and their impact of the surface quality.
