An investigation on mechanical properties of (Al_(63)Cu_(25)Fe_(12))p/ZL101 composites by squeeze casting

Influence of different extrusion pressures and pouring temperatures on comprehensive performance of(Al63Cu25Fe12)p/ZL101 composites is studied in this paper.The results show that the tensile strength,elongation and hardness of(Al63Cu25Fe12)p/ZL101 composite increase with the squeezing pressure increasing from 50 MPa to 100 MPa,and gradually reduce from 100 MPa to 150 MPa.In addition,the mechanical properties of the composite can be improved with pouring temperature growing,while the temperature should not exceed 760℃.When squeezing pressure is 100 MPa and pouring temperature is 720℃,mechanical properties of composites are the best.Finally,the mechanical properties of(Al 63 Cu 25 Fe 12)p/ZL101 composite will be improved by suitable heat treatment technology

Study on Non-interlayer Liquid Phase Diffusion Bonding for SiCp/ZL101 Aluminum Matrix Composite

Through the vacuum diffusion bonding for SiCp/ZLl01 aluminum matrix composite, the influence of bonding parameters on the joint properties was reported, with the aim to obtain optimal bonding parameters. The microstructureof joints was analyzed by means of optical microscope and scanning electron microscope in order to study the relationship between the macro-properties of joints and the microstructures. It was found that diffusion bonding couldbe used for bonding aluminum matrix composites successfully. Meanwhile, the properties of the matrix and the jointwere all affected by some defects such as the reinforcement aggregation in aluminum matrix composites made bystirring casting.

Themicrostructure of joint was analyzed by means of optical-microscope, scanning electron microscope inorder to study the relationship between the macro-properties of joint and the microstructure. Theresults show that diffusion welding with Cu interlayer could be used for welding aluminum matrixcomposites SiCp/ZL 101 successfully.

Diffusion welding SiC_p/ZL101 with Ni interlayer

Through the vacuum diffusion welding SiC_p/ZL101 aluminum with Ni interlayer,the effect of welding parameter and the thickness property of Ni on the welded joint wasinvestigated, and the optimal welding parameters were put forward at the same time. Themicrostructure of joint was analyzed by means of optical-microscope, scanning electron microscope(SEM) in order to study the relationship between the macro-properties of joint and themicrostructure. The results show that diffusion welding with Ni interlayer can be used for weldingaluminum matrix composites SiC_p/ZL101 successfully. Under the welding parameters T=560℃, P=5 MPa,t=60 min, H=14μm, the bonding strength of welded joint can up to 121 MPa. Moreover, the thicknessof interlayer should match with the size of reinforced particles. If the thickness of interlayer istoo thin, it would have no effect on the welded joint beneficially. If the thickness of interlayeris too thick, it would cause the 'no-reinforcement zone' to appear.

Mechanical properties and wear resistance of aluminum composite welded by electron beam

The welding property of TiB2/ZL101 composite was investigated using electron beam（EB） welding experimental system with a function generator.The fine defect-free welding seam was obtained under proper processing parameters and scanning rate.The reinforcement particles TiB2 distributed homogeneously in welding seam without any segregation.The tensile results show that fracture occurs at the base metal and elastic modulus increases compared with base metal.Wear resistance of welding seam is improved greatly compared with base metal.The results show that the TiB2/ZL101 composite can be successfully welded by EB technology.
