Influence of thermo-mechanical processing on microstructure and properties of bulk metallic glassy alloys-reinforced Al matrix composites prepared by powder metallurgy
Al-matrix composites, reinforced with two different types of glassy particles and prepared by mechanical alloying, were consolidated via Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and hot extrusion to produce high-strength Al–5%Al65Cu20Ti15 and Al–5%Al84Ni7Co3Nb6 composites, along with pure Al sample for comparis...

description | Al-matrix composites, reinforced with two different types of glassy particles and prepared by mechanical alloying, were consolidated via Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and hot extrusion to produce high-strength Al–5%Al65Cu20Ti15 and Al–5%Al84Ni7Co3Nb6 composites, along with pure Al sample for comparison. TEM observation and XRD analysis were used to investigate the crystal structure of the prepared powders. Metallurgical analysis tools, including SEM, TEM, XRD and EBSD, were used to investigate the effect of consolidation temperature and processing on the amorphous phase and the distribution of reinforcing particles in the composite. Also, the effect of the consolidation process on the grain morphology and size of the prepared composite was studied. Al-5% Al65Cu20Ti15 was fully densified, compared to nearly 98 % relative density for Al-5% Al84Ni7Co3Nb6 and pure Al sample prepared by hot extrusion. Moreover, Al-5% Al65Cu20Ti15 composite showed the highest hardness and ultimate tensile strength values, which are 63Hv and 226 MPa, respectively. An acceptable elongation of 15 % was also achieved. After SPS, hot extrusion process improved the strength of the composite compared with previously reported Al composites containing higher percents of Al-based glassy articles manufactured using various processing techniques. Homogenous reinforcement distribution, grain refinement and improved wettability between matrix and reinforcement are the key factors on improving the strength of Al–5%Al65Cu20Ti15 composite. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) decreased by adding glassy particles to the Al-matrix, while Al-5% Al65Cu20Ti15 had the lowest values. |
