The microstructures of the as-prepared composites were observed by scanning electronic microscopy （SEM）, and the mechanical properties were characterized by tensile strength measurement and Brinell hardness test. The experimental results revealed that the tensile strength of the composite with the addition of 5wt%/3-SIC nanoprtieles could be increased to 215 MPa, increasing by 110% compared with pure A1 matrix. Comparative experiments reflected that theβ-SIC nanoprticles showed significant reinforcement effect than traditional a-SiC micro-sized particles. The preparation process and sintering procedure were investigated to develop a cost effective preparation strategy to fabricate nano-SiCp/A1 composite.展开更多

Microstructure observations show that a layer of fine grains was located adjacent to the fiber, and more dislocations and faults were found in this region. Higher recrystallization nucleation rate due to the undeformed SiC fiber and thermal residual stress induced during cooling from the fabrication temperature caused the microstructural changes of the matrix. Hardness measurement indicates that the matrix in the fiber neighborhood was strengthened, and the strengthening effect decreased with distance away from the fiber.展开更多

The results demonstrate that the inclining style is the best way to mix powders. The Al and nano SiC powders are pressed into blocks, dipped into molten Al, stirred into mold so that SiC/Al matrix composites can be obtained at last. The microstructure of SiC particle reinforced Al matrix composite prepared by "block dispersal and cast" method have been studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Phase analysis has also been conducted by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that nano SiC particles can be dispersed uniformly in Al matrix. Thus, it is feasible to prepare SiC particle reinforced Al matrix composites by this method.展开更多

The composite is prepared using liquid metallurgy technique. The unlubricated pin-on disc wear test is conducted to find the wear behaviour of the ZA43 alloy based composite. The sliding wear test is conducted for different load, speed and time. The result reveals that wear rates of composite is reduced as reinforcement increases. For the same working conditions wear rate increases with increasing load and with increasing speed. The tested samples are examined by taking micro structure photos and analyzed for the type of wear. Dominating wear types observed are delamination and abrasion.展开更多
