The effects of NiAl content on phase constituents and microstructures were investigated. The results show that the reaction products are composed of TiB2, TiC and NiAl. The content of NiAl increases with the adding of Ni+Al in green compacts. TiB2, TiC and NiAl grains present in different shapes in the matrix, TiB2 being in hexagonal or rectangular shapes, TiC in spherical shapes, and NiAl squeezed into the gaps of TiC and TiB2 grains. With the increase of NiAl content, the grains of TiC-TiB2-NiAl composites are refined, their density and compressive strength are improved, and the shapes of TiC grains become spherical instead of irregular ones. Finally, the fracture mechanism of the composites transforms from intergranular fracture mode to the compounded fracture mode of intergranular fracture and transgranular fracture.展开更多

The microstructures were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The fracture behavior, infiltration and oxidation mechanism were further discussed. The results indicated that NiAl alloy exhibited good wettability on the C/C preform because a TiC reaction layer formed at the interface. Multi-layer(PyC/TiC/NiAl+TiC) coating evenly and compactly distributed on the surface of the carbon fiber in tubular form. The penetration depth of molten NiAl alloys depended on the reaction between the PyC and titanium. The impact fracture was inclined to along the interface between the NiAl permeability layer and C/C matrix. Al_2TiO_5 and TiO_2 formed on the surface, while the interior multi-layer tubular structure partially remained after oxidation at 1773 K for 30 min.展开更多

Internal friction and electron microscopy results show that solute atom clusters are present in association with dislocationsin supersaturated cold-rolled composites. During recrystallization process, the internal friction peak position of Al-Mg-Si/3SiCp/2Mg (volume fraction,%) is higher than that of Al-Mg-Si/3SiCp(volume fraction,%) due to more solute atom clusters formed in association with the dislocations in the cold-rolled composite with a much higher Mg content, indicating a strongerresistance for the recrystallization nucleation.展开更多

Cu/diamond composites with different volume fractions of diamond were successfully prepared by spark plasma sintering(SPS) method. The sintering temperatures and volume fractions(50%, 60% and 70%) of diamond were changed to investigate their effects on the relative density, homogeneity of the microstructure and thermal conductivity of the composites. The results show that the relative density, homogeneity of the microstructure and thermal conductivity of the composites increase with decreasing the diamond volume fraction; the relative density and thermal conductivity of the composites increase with increasing the sintering temperature. The thermal conductivity of the composites is a result of the combined effect of the volume fraction of diamond, the homogeneity and relative density of the composites.展开更多

The valence states of Si for Si C particulates and Al for the as-consolidated composites were detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The interfacial bondings of the composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The elements at the interface were linearly scanned by energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) and the EDS mappings of Si and Al were also obtained. The values of the nanohardness at different positions within 2 μm from the boundary of Si C particulate were measured. The results show that after ECAP-T, interfacial reaction which inhibits injurious interfacial phase occurs between Al and the oxide layer of Si C, and the element interdiffusion which can enhance interfacial bonding exists between Al and Si C. As ECAP-T passes increase, the reaction degree is intensified and the element interdiffusion layer is thickened, leading to the more smooth transition of the hardness from Si C to Al.展开更多

The results show that relative densities decrease with increasing GF fraction, and the 50μm-GF reinforced specimens exhibit a better densification than the 300μm-GF reinforced ones. The GF particles distribute quite uniformly inPb matrix, and the composites fabricated at low sintering temperature (〈200℃) possess fine-grain microstructure. The addition of GF significantly improves the strength of the Pb composites, and the ultimate tensile strength of the Pb composite reinforcedwith the addition of 50μm-0.5% GF(mass fraction)is about 30MPa higher than that of GF-free sample. For all composites groups, increasing the reinforcement content from 0.5%to 2%(mass fraction)results in a decrease in both tensile strength and ductility.展开更多

The effect of the sintering temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites was investigated. The results indicate that the aspect ratio of the in situ synthesized TiB whiskers in Ti alloy matrix decreases rapidly with an increase in sintering temperature. However, both the relative density of the sintered specimens and the volume content of TiB whiskers in composites increase with increasing sintering temperature. Thus, the bending strength of the composites synthesized using SPS process increases slowly with increasing the sintering temperature from 850 to 1150 °C. TiB/Ti-1.5Fe-2.25Mo composite synthesized at 1150 °C using SPS method exhibits the highest bending strength of 1596 MPa due to the formation of fine TiB whiskers in Ti alloy matrix and the dense microstructure of the composite.展开更多

In this paper, the finite element method (FEM) wasused for the prediction of the orthotropic thermo-elastic properties of a composite reinforced byglass fiber knitted fabric. In order to define the final 3-D configuration of the loop reinforcingstructure, the interactions between the adjacent loops, the large displacement and the contactelements without friction were considered.

文摘It is a very important and complex task to estimate the thermo-elasticproperties of a textile structural composite. In this paper, the finite element method (FEM) wasused for the prediction of the orthotropic thermo-elastic properties of a composite reinforced byglass fiber knitted fabric. In order to define the final 3-D configuration of the loop reinforcingstructure, the interactions between the adjacent loops, the large displacement and the contactelements without friction were considered. The values predicted were compared with the experimentalresults.

文摘The aim of this work was to develop a Ti6Al4V/20CoCrMo−highly porous Ti6Al4V bilayer for biomedical applications.Conventional powder metallurgy technique,with semi-solid state sintering as consolidation step,was employed to fabricate samples with a compact top layer and a porous bottom layer to better mimic natural bone.The densification behavior of the bilayer specimen was studied by dilatometry and the resulting microstructure was observed by scan electron microscopy(SEM)and computed microtomography(CMT),while the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance were evaluated by compression and potentiodynamic tests,respectively.The results indicate that bilayer samples without cracks were obtained at the interface which has no negative impact on the densification.Permeability values of the highly porous layer were in the lower range of those of human bones.The compression behavior is dictated by the highly porous Ti6Al4V layer.Additionally,the corrosion resistance of Ti6Al4V/20CoCrMo is better than that of Ti6Al4V,which improves the performance of the bilayer sample.This work provides an insight into the important aspects of a bilayer fabrication by powder metallurgy and properties of Ti6Al4V/20CoCrMo−highly porous Ti6Al4V structure,which can potentially benefit the production of customized implants with improved wear performance and increased in vivo lifetime.
