AbstractAluminum-matrix composites containing AIN or SiC particles were fabricated by vacuum infiltration of liquid aluminum into a porous particulate preform under an argon pressure of up to 41 MPa. Al/AIN was superior to Al/SiC in thermal conductivity. At 59 vol.% AIN, Al/AlN had a thermal conductivity of 157 W/m. °C and a thermal expansion coefficient of 9.8 × 10−-6°C−1 (35–100 °C). Al/AlN had similar tensile strength and higher ductility compared to Al/SiC of a similar reinforcement volume fraction at room temperature, but exhibited higher tensile strength and higher ductility at 300–400°C. The ductility of Al/AlN increased with increasing temperature from 22 to 400°C, while that of Al/SiC did not change with temperature. The superior high temperature resistance of Al/AlN is attributed to the lack of a reaction between Al and AIN, in contrast to the reaction between Al and SiC in AI/SiC.

Aluminum matrix composites refer to the class of light weight high performance aluminum centric material systems. The unique tailorability of the composite materials for the specific requirements makes these materials more popular in a variety of applications such as aerospace, automotive (pistons, cylinders, liners, bearings), and structural components, resulting in savings of material and energy. In this project, fabrication of Aluminum MMC by liquid metallurgy route (Squeeze Casting) is discussed in detail. The mechanical properties of 6082 aluminum alloy discontinuously – reinforced with fine particulates of SiCp reinforcement and solutionising time during heat treatment of the composite on hardness, density and impact strength have been evaluated. The cardinal reasons behind the variation in the hardness and impact strength have been discussed.

Hinsichtlich der Verarbeitung von partikelverstärkten Aluminiummatrix-Verbundwerkstoffen (AMC) zu komplexen Bauteilen mit hoher Endkonturnähe, Maßhaltigkeit und hervorragenden mechanischen Eigenschaften bietet die Formgebung im teilflüssigen Zustand aussichtsreiche Perspektiven. In diesem Zusammenhang beschreibt der Fachbeitrag eine neuentwickelte Prozessroute zur Herstellung von Hochleistungskomponenten aus solchen AMC-Werkstoffen und zeigt deren Potentiale auf.   With regard to the processing of particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composites (AMC) into complex parts with net-shape quality, high dimensional accuracy and favorable mechanical properties, the semi-solid forming technology provides good perspectives. In this context, this article deals with a new process flow for the production of high-performance components from such AMC materials and presents its potential.

ABSTRACTAluminum-matrix composites are attractive in their combination of low CTE and high thermal conductivity. Anodizing is an effective surface treatment for improving the corrosion resistance of aluminum-matrix composites. ForSiC filled aluminum, anodizing was performed successfully in an acid electrolyte, as usual. However, for AIN filled aluminum, anodizing needed to be performed in an alkaline (NaOH) electrolyte instead of an acid electrolyte, because NaOH reduced the reaction between AIN and water, whereas an acid enhanced this reaction. The concentration of NaOH in the electrolyte was critical; too high a concentration of NaOH caused the dissolution of the anodizing product (A12O3) by the NaOH, whereas too low a concentration of NaOH did not provide enough ions for the electrochemical process.
