Book Description
A centrifugally cast A356 aluminum-matrix composite reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) particles was thermo-mechanically processed by rolling and the resulting properties were studied. Tensile testing, hardness testing and optical microscopy were conducted. This study included evaluations of the mechanical properties of the composite following rolling at varying strains, temperature, strain per pass and aging treatments. The effects of both single and multi-step rolling processes were evaluated, and the composites were tested following solution treatment. Testing revealed that the ductility was associated with progressive homogenization of the particulate distribution at increasing strain levels. It was found that rolling just under the solvus temperature produced poorer mechanical properties for the composite than for those rolled at a temperature significantly above or below the solvus temperature. Strain per pass was found to have insignificant effect on the final properties, with total strain being the controlling factor. For equal strength conditions, the underaged composite was more ductile than the overaged composite.

ISBN:
Category : Aluminum alloys

Pages : 67
Book Description
A technique was developed for orienting silicon carbide whiskers in a metal matrix which involves the preparation of a liquid slurry of the whiskers and matrix metal powder followed by the extrusion of the slurry through a fine orifice die. The technique was further developed for the fabrication of aluminum alloy-silicon carbide whisker composites with oriented whiskers. The fabrication of such shapes as strip, tubes, bushings, and cones with oriented whiskers was demonstrated. Mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy-silicon carbide whisker composites were measured at room temperature and at 204 to 427C. The effect of silicon carbide whisker loading, whisker type, and metal powder particle size was studied. (Author).
