ABSTRACTThe objective of this study is to develop a metal-matrix composite based on the intermetallic alloy Ni3Al reinforced with Al2O3 fibers, with improved high-temperature strength and lower density compared to the matrix material. This paper summarizes results of initial fabrication and mechanical tests on specimens produced using IC-15 [Ni-24% Al-0.24% B (at.%)] and IC-218 [Ni-16.5% Al-8% Cr-0.4% Zr-0.1% B (at.%)], with 20 vol. % Al2O3 fibers. Fabrication methods include both hot-pressing and hot-extrusion. Mechanical tests include four-point bending and tensile tests. The integrity of the fiber-matrix interface was studied and correlated with mechanical properties. Tensile ductilities of approximately 10% at room temperature were achieved for Ni3Al/Al2O3 composites with controlled material processing and interfacial structure. Fabrication of composites by hot-extrusion produced better tensile properties at room temperature, but superplastic behavior (i.e., low strengths, high ductilities) at 1000°C.

ABSTRACTAs part of a study to assess NiAl-based composites as potential high-temperature structural materials, the mechanical properties of polycrystalline NiAl reinforced with 30 vol.% continuous single crystal Al2O3 fibers were investigated. Composites were fabricated with either a strong or weak bond between the NiAl matrix and Al2O3 fibers. The effect of interfacial bond strength on bending and tensile properties, thermal cycling response, and cyclic oxidation resistance was examined. Weakly-bonded fibers increased room-temperature toughness of the composite over that of the matrix material but provided no strengthening at high temperatures. With effective load transfer, either by the presence of a strong interfacial bond or by remotely applied clamping loads, Al2O3 fibers increased the high-temperature strength of NiAl but reduced the strain to failure of the composite compared to the monolithic material. Thermal cycling of the weakly-bonded material had no adverse effect on the mechanical properties of the composite. Conversely, because of the thermal expansion mismatch between the matrix and fibers, the presence of a strong interfacial bond generated residual stresses in the composite that lead to matrix cracking. Although undesirable under thermal cycling conditions, a strong interfacial bond was a requirement for achieving good cyclic oxidation resistance in the composite. In addition to the interfacial characterization, compression creep and room temperature fatigue tests were conducted on weakly-bonded NiAl/Al2O3 composites to further evaluate the potential of this system. These results demonstrated that the use of A12O3 fibers was successful in improving both creep and fatigue resistance.

The purpose of this work is the development of the aluminium alloy matrix composite materials using powder metallurgy technologies, including mechanical alloying and hot extrusion with the required properties and structure of the designed material. In this work halloysite nanotubes, was used as alternative reinforcement of metal matrix composites. Halloysite is a clayey mineral of volcanic origin, characterised by high porosity, high ion exchange, large specific surface and easy chemical, as well as mechanical treatment. High energy ball milling leads to uniform distribution of the halloysite reinforcing particles throughout the AlMg1SiCu matrix and simultaneously reduces the particle size. Proved microstructural changes influence the mechanical properties, especially microhardness, and compression yield, as well as wear resistant. The tribological analysis reveals that composite materials – irrespective of the measuring cycles number and load – are characterised by much smaller wear volume in comparison to the matrix material. The MMCs obtained as a result of mechanical alloying, cold compacting and hot extrusion are characterised with the microstructure of homogeneous distribution of halloysite particles in fine-grain matrix of AlMg1SiCu alloy, facilitate the obtainment of higher values of mechanical properties, compared to the base alloy. The composite materials reinforced with nanoparticles with 15% mass share are characterised by more than 180% higher yield strength and almost twice as higher microhardness compared to the matrix material. The analysis of the investigation results has confirmed that halloysite nanotubes can be applied as effective reinforcement in the MMCs.

Abstract In this study, Al-0.80Mg-0.85Si alloy was modified with the addition of 0.3 wt.-% zirconium and the variation of microstructural features and mechanical properties were investigated. In order to produce the billets, vertical direct chill casting method was used and billets were homogenized at 580 °C for 6 h. Homogenized billets were subjected to aging practice following three stages: (i) solution annealing at 550 °C for 3 h, (ii) quenching in water, (iii) aging at 180 °C between 0 and 20 h. The hardness measurements were performed for the alloys following the aging process. It was observed that peak hardness value of Al-0.80Mg-0.85Si alloy increased with the addition of zirconium. This finding was very useful to obtain aging parameters for the extruded hollow profiles which are commonly used in automotive industry. Standard tensile tests were applied to aged profiles at room temperature and the results showed that modified alloy had higher mechanical properties compared to the non-modified alloy.

Al6063 Alloy

Microstructural Analysis plays an important role in enhancing the mechanical properties of metals and composites. Usually Aluminium Silicon Carbide (Al6063/SiC) alloys are mixed with strontium, sodium and antimony for high durability even though they are toxic and costly. As an alternative calcium is used as an alloying element to improve the mechanical property of Al6063/Sic alloy. In this paper Al6063 is chosen as the matrix material while Sic is used as a reinforcement where calcium powder is added to modify the silicon phase of the composite. Finally, concentration of Silicon carbide is varied from 0 to 150 mg to produce four specimens of Al6063 alloy and it is subjected to microstructure analysis which showed the reduction of grain size and therefore improvement in the hardness from 52.9 HV to 58.4 HV and decrease in the wear loss from 3.97 to 3.27 percentage.

Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) has attracted great interest in the aerospace and medical sectors because it can produce complex and lightweight parts with high accuracy. Austenitic stainless steel alloy 316 L is widely used in many applications due to its good mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance over a wide temperature range. In this study, L-PBF-processed 316 L was investigated for its suitability in aerospace applications at cryogenic service temperatures and the behavior at cryogenic temperature was compared with room temperature to understand the properties and microstructural changes within this temperature range. Tensile tests were performed at room temperature and at −196 °C to study the mechanical performance and phase changes. The microstructure and fracture surfaces were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, and the phases were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The results showed a significant increase in the strength of 316 L at −196 °C, while its ductility remained at an acceptable level. The results indicated the formation of ε and α martensite during cryogenic testing, which explained the increase in strength. Nanoindentation revealed different hardness values, indicating the different mechanical properties of austenite (γ), strained austenite, body-centered cubic martensite (α), and hexagonal close-packed martensite (ε) formed during the tensile tests due to mechanical deformation.

Properties Of Composites

The change of matrix and usage of the aluminum alloys designed for the metal forming in making the composite suspension allows to extend the processing possibility of this type of materials. The possibility of the metal forming of the composites obtained by mechanical mixing will extend the range of composite materials usage. Applying of the metal forming e.g. matrix forging, embossing, pressing or rolling, will allow to remove the incoherence of the structure created while casting and removing casting failures. In order to avoid the appearance of the casting failures the homogenization conditions need to be changed. Inserting the particles into the matrix influences on the shortening of the composite solidification. The type of the applied particles influenced the sedimentation process and reinforcement agglomeration in the structure of the composite. Opposite to the composites reinforced with one-phase particles applying the fasess mixture (glassy carbon and silicon carbide) triggered significant limitation in the segregation process while casting solidification. Inserting the particles into the AW-AlCu2SiMn matrix lowers the mechanical properties tension and impact value strength. The most beneficial mechanical properties were gained in case of heterofasess composites reinforced with the particle mixture of SiC and glass carbon. The chemical composition of the matrix material (AW-AlCu2SiMn) allows to increase additionally mechanical characteristics by the precipitation hardening reached through heat casting forming.

Effect of nitrogen (N) addition on mechanical properties of Ti-Cr-Sn alloy was investigated in this study. Ti-7mol%Cr-3mol%Sn was selected and less than 0.5wt% of N were systematically added. The alloys were characterized by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and tensile tests at room temperature. The apparent phase was β (bcc) phase, whereas the presence of precipitates was confirmed in 0.5wt%N-added alloy only which did not exhibit sufficient cold workability. The grain size was not largely affected by N addition being less than 0.5wt%. Tensile tests revealed that less than 0.5wt%N addition improves the strength which is due to the solution hardening by interstitial N atoms.

Inconel 713C

Inconel 713C alloy was tried to manufacture by using MIM(Metal Injection Molding) process. The high-temperature mechanical properties of MIMed Inconel 713C were also investigated. Processing defects such as pores and binders could be observed near the surface. Tensile tests were conducted from room temperature to 900°C. The result of tensile tests showed that this alloy had similar or somewhat higher strengths (YS: 734 MPa, UTS: 968 MPa, elongation: 7.16 % at room temperature) from RT to 700°C than those of conventional Inconel 713C alloys. Above 800°C, however, ultimate tensile strength decreased rapidly with increasing temperature (lower than casted Inconel 713C). Based on the observation of fractography, initial crack was found to have started near the surface defects and propagated rapidly. The superior mechanical properties of MIMed Inconel 713C could be obtained by optimizing the MIM process parameters.
