A nanostructured Al-based solid solution was formed by MA of elemental powders for 60 h. After HP of the as-milled powders at 550℃ for 20 min, the Al12(Fe,V)3Si phase was precipitated in a nanocrystalline Al matrix. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the bulk samples represented a homogeneous and uniform microstructure that was superior to those previously obtained by rapid solidification-powder metallurgy (RS-PM). Nanostructured Al-8.5Fe-1.3V-1.7Si and Al-11.6Fe-1.3V-2.3Si alloys ex-hibited high HV hardness values of~205 and~254, respectively, which are significantly higher than those reported for the RS-PM counter-parts.展开更多

All samples were prepared using mechanical alloying followed by hot pressing. Wear tests were performed at room temperature using a pin-on-disk machine. Results showed that the presence of Al12(Fe,V)3Si precipitates increases the wear resistance of nanostructured Al, and the wear resistance increases with increasing the Al12(Fe,V)3Si content. Scanning electron microscopy images of worn surfaces and wear debris demonstrated that abrasion and adhesion are the governing wear mechanisms for the nanostructured FVS0812 alloy at 2 and 5 N normal loads, whereas for the nanostructured FVS1212 alloy, the dominant wear mechanism is abrasion at these loads. A mechanically mixed layer(MML) containing Fe and O was formed on the worn surfaces of FVS0812 and FVS1212 samples at 10 N normal load. Formation and delamination of MML controls the wear behavior of these samples at the normal load of 10 N. It is also found that the presence of Al12(Fe,V)3Si precipitates decreases the friction coefficient of nanostructured Al.展开更多
