INFLUENCE OF INTERFACIAL STRENGTH ON THE FRACTURE TOUGHNESS OF GLASS-CERAMIC MATRIX COMPOSITEST

Nine kinds of glass-ceramic matrix composites with different compositions and inter facial strength(L) were prepared. The influence of Ti on the fracture toughness (K1c.) of composites was studied. It was discoved that, for the system no chemical reaction taking place at the interface, K1c. increased proportionallywith ts increasing at the first stage, then decreased when ts reached a certain value. According to this result,a model of relationship between L, thermal mismatch (Δαr) and K1c was built up. If a chemical reaction tookplace and a new phase was formed in the interface, the K1c. of composite was effected by the combination ofrs, chemical bonding, radial inter facial stress and other factors.

Improvement of Bending Strength of Carbon Fiber/Thermoplastic Epoxy Composites <br/>—Effects of Molecular Weight of Epoxy on Carbon Fiber/Matrix Interfacial Strength and Connection of Cracks in Matrix

The bending strength of carbon?fiber/thermoplastic epoxy composites?(CF/TP-EP Compo.)?had?bi-linear increasewith increase of weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of matrix. The transition in the bending strength appeared at around 55k of Mw (“k”?means 103). SEM observation of fractured surface of CF/TP-EP Compo. showed that the fracture mode changed from interfacial failure to fiber breakage dominated failure. The smooth surface of carbon fibers appeared at lower Mw than 55k while some resin remained on the fibers indicating good adhesion between carbon fiber and matrix at higher Mw than 55k. The interfacial shear strength between carbon fiber and matrix bi-linearly increased with an increase of Mw similarly to the bending strength of the composite, measured by the micro droplet test. The dynamic loss tanδ?of the matrix measured at 2?Hz also showed a bi-linear relationship with respect to Mw having a knee point at Mw = 55k. The connection probability of two cracks introduced on?each side of specimens also confirmed that the interfacial strength between carbon fiber and matrix is the key for the mechanical performance of CF/TP-EP Compo. in bending.

Effects of Heating Temperature on Interfacial Microstructure and Compressive Strength of Brazed CBN-AlN Composite Abrasive Grits

CBN-AlN composite abrasive grits and AISI 1045 steel were brazed using Ag-Cu-Ti active filler alloy by heating up to the temperature of 890,900 and 920 ℃,respectively,and then held at the temperature for 8 min.Optical microscope,scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction equipment were utilized to study the effects of heating temperature on the microstructure of the joining interface.The compressive strength of the brazed composite grits was also measured.The experimental results show that the atoms of Ti,Al,B and N have preferentially penetrated towards the joining interface of composite grits and filler alloy.The compounds of Ti-nitride,Ti-borides and Ti3AlN were formed in the reaction layer.Degradation effect was not made on the compressive strength of the CBN-AlN composite grits when the brazing process was carried out in the temperature range of 890-920 ℃.

Improving Strength of Carbon Fiber Grafted Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites by 3D-Printed Molding

To improve the strength of carbon fiber(CF) reinforced Polycaprolactam(PA6) composites, controlled amounts of carbon nanotubes(CNTs) were grafted onto the surface of CF to prepare the hybrid reinforcement(HR). We used HR to fabricate laminate and H-sample to test the interfacial bonding strength(IBS) of the composites by means of a novel process called three-dimensional printed molding(3 D-PM). By using the melt drop printing method, we measured the contact angles between PA6 and CF(without sizing) and between PA6 and HR. The IBS and the mechanical properties of the composites were obtained by the tensile test. The experimental result indicated that CF grafted by 0.25% weight fraction of CNT or more could develop a special microstructure similar to the micro-pits on the surface of CF, which improved the wettability of CF and PA6 due to the increased surface area and the roughness of CF. When the weight fraction of CNT reached 0.25%, the IBS increased by 41.8%, the tensile strength by 130%, and the interfacial shear strength(IFSS) by 238%. The interfacial dimple fracture was observed by Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM), which revealed that the composites were able to absorb more deforming energy before fracture. The modified surface microstructure of CF would prevent crack propagation at the interface and increase the mechanical properties of thermoplastic composites(TPCs).

Study on Single-fiber Pull-out Method for Evaluating Interfacial Strength in CFRP

Single-fiber pull-out testing (SFPOT) methods are frequently used to evaluate the interfacial adhesion between fiber and matrix in composite materials. To make such pull-out measurements, however, the length of embedded fiber must be small enough so that the fiber does not break before it is pulled freely. This is difficult to achieve by conventional methods with fibers of small diameter, such as the carbon fibers. In this paper, a fiber pull-out experiment is described. Specialized apparatus in our laboratory, as well as this technique for sample preparation are discussed in detail. The interfacial shear strength of carbon fiber/resin matrix composites is analyzed quantitatively by using the finite-element method. The SFPOT system has been proved to be an available means for the study of interfacial properties for carbon fiber/resin matrix composites.

The Determination of Interfacial Shear Strength in Short Fiber Reinforced Poly Ethylene Terephthalate by Kelly-Tyson Theory

The interfacial shear strength value measuring by the modified Kelly-Tyson equation method was studied the measurement accuracy. The measuring accuracy by using the modified Kelly-Tyson equation method is compared to the nano-indentation testing method. The results and an influential factor are described. An error in the modified Kelly-Tyson equation is verified to avoid the incorrect measurement when the interfacial shear strength was measured by the modified Kelly-Tyson equation. To study the different interfacial shear strength behavior, short fiber reinforced PET composites were fabricated. In this study, an advance fabricating technique for short fiber reinforced composite as direct fiber feeding process is conducted to fabricate GF/recycled PET for studying the interfacial shear strength. The result indicates that the modified Kelly-Tyson equation method accurately provides the accurate interfacial shear strength value, if it is conducted with the sample without a horizontally aligned fiber. So the high fiber loading content sample should be avoided to get the more accuracy result. The large horizontally aligned fiber area into specimens extremely resulted in the incorrect measurement of the interfacial shear strength value by the modified Kelly-Tyson equation method. The fiber agglomeration factor and the sensitively horizontally aligned fiber area must be considered its influence on the measuring for improving the equation effectiveness.

Effects of Nickel Distribution on the Strengthening and Toughening of Alumina Ceramics

Three types of composite materials were designed and fabricated by hot pressing powder blends of alumina with 20 vol. pct nickel particles. The composites differ in the shape, size and distribution of the nickel particles. Composite microstructures are described and measurements of density, hardness, flexure strength, and fracture toughness are reported. The results showed that the fracture strength of the composite with dispersed nickel particles is higher than the other two composites （network microstructure and mixed microstructure） and the alumina matrix. For all the composites studied, tougher materials than the monolithic alumina were produced. The fracture toughness of the composite with a network microstructure is much higher than that of the other composites. The toughening mechanisms were described based on the observation of the fracture surfaces and the crack-particle interactions. Moreover, the parameters for microstructural tailoring of these materials have been deduced. The toughening of the produced composites was explained in light of the interracial bond strength.

Microstructure and mechanical behavior of Ti/Cu/Ti laminated composites produced by corrugated and flat rolling

Ti/Cu/Ti laminated composites were fabricated by corrugated rolling(CR) and flat rolling(FR) method.Microstructure and mechanical properties of CR and FR laminated composites were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, numerical simulation methods, peel and tensile examinations. The effect of CR and FR was comparatively analyzed. The results showed that the CR and FR laminated composites exhibited different effective plastic strain distributions of the Ti layer and Cu layer at the interface. The recrystallization texture, prismatic texture and pyramidal texture were developed in the Ti layer by CR, while the R-Goss texture and shear texture were developed in the Cu layer by CR. The typical deformation texture components were developed in the Ti layer and Cu layer of FR laminated composites. The CR laminated composites had higher bond strength, tensile strength and ductility.

Experimental and Numerical Study on Mechanical Properties of Z-pins Reinforced Composites Adhesively Bonded Single-Lap Joints

The mechanical properties of Z-pins reinforced composites adhesively bonded single-lap joints(SLJs)under un-directional tension loading are investigated by experimental and numerical methods.Three kinds of joint configurations,including SLJs with three/two rows of Z-pins and“I”array of Z-pins,are investigated by tension test.The failure modes and mechanism of reinforced joints with different Z-pins numbers and alignment are analyzed,and the comparison is performed for the failure strengths of no Z-pins and Z-pins reinforced joints.According to experimental results,failure modes of three kinds of joints are all mixed failure.It turns out that the Z-pins are pulled out ultimately.The strength of joints of more Z-pins at the end of the overlap area is relatively bigger for the joint of the same Z-pins numbers.The strength of joints with Z-pins compared with non Z-pins joints is growing at 16%.Finally,the three-dimensional distribution of interfacial stress in the lap zone of three kinds of Z-pins reinforced joints is simulated,and the numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental results.It is effective that the numerical calculation of stress analysis is verified.

Stress Distribution in the Cruciform Specimen under Transverse Tension Stress for SiC/Ti-6Al-4V Composites

The cruciform specimen was selected to obtain the transverse tensile behavior of SiC fiber reinforced titanium matrix composites. Moreover, the means of combining the unilaterally coupled finite element method with the transverse tensile test was developed to evaluate the interfacial normal bond strength of composites. The results showed that the initial non-linearity in the transverse stress-strain curve of SiC/Ti-6Al-4V occurs at the stress of 350 MPa. The means of combining the unilaterally coupled finite element method with the transverse tensile test is an effective method to predict the interfacial normal bond strength of composites. In addition, the interface failure mechanism of composites was analyzed in detail.

Laser-induced combustion joining of C_(f)/Al composites and TC4 alloy

The C_(f)/Al composites were joined to the TC4 alloy via the laser-induced combustion joining method.The exothermic reaction of the interlayer provided the required energy for the joining process.By combining the theoretical calculation and experiment,the chemical composition of the Ni−Al−Zr interlayer was designed.The microstructure and mechanical properties of the joint were investigated.The results show that the addition of Zr slightly weakened the combustion reaction of exothermic interlayer but played a key role in the successful joining.Ni−Al−Zr interlayer reacted with substrates,forming a TiAl_(3)layer adjacent to TC4 alloy and NiAl_(3),Ni_(2)Al_(3)layers adjacent to the C_(f)/Al composites.Zr content dominated the microstructure and shear strength of the joint.When the Zr content was 5 wt.%under the joining pressure of 2 MPa,the joint had a maximum shear strength of 19.8 MPa.

A Study on the Initial Fracture Behavior of CF/GF Intra-Hybrid Woven Fabric Reinforced Composites

In this paper, woven fabrics of glass fiber/carbon fiber intra-hybrid in plain structure were used to fabricate fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composite by hand lay-up method. The investigation on tensile property was carried out on specimens in 7 orientations including 0°/5°/15°/75°/85°/90° in previous works. With the specimen parameters and experimental data, FEM model was built by the software of Marc. By combining the experimental results and finite element analysis, the modulus was simulated and calculated at the first stage. Then interfacial stress of the 0 degree and 90 degree was also calculated. By the initial fracture stress data from experiment as well as the simulation value of interfacial strength of 0 and 90 degree, the initial fracture stress of the off-axial specimens wascalculated and predicted. The result shows that the interfacial strength of the glass fiber bundle is higher than that of the carbon fiber bundle in transverse direction. By using the interfacial strength and according to the Von Mises yielding criterion, the initial fracture stress was predicted, which can be a contribution to the design or predict of the material properties.

熔体压力对水平双辊铸轧Ti/Al复合板界面结合强度的影响

除了铸轧速度和熔体浇铸温度外,铸轧区内的熔体压力也是影响水平双辊铸轧Ti/Al复合板工艺稳定性和界面结合强度的重要因素。本工作在铸轧复合过程中通过调节前箱内熔体的液面高度,获得了在不同铸轧区熔体压力下制备的Ti/Al复合板。通过金相、扫描电镜、显微硬度、室温拉伸实验、T型剥离实验等手段对复合板的显微组织和界面结合性能进行表征和测试。结果表明,当熔体压力较高时,可以生产出充盈饱满、板型良好、结合强度高的复合板,但熔体压力过高会影响铸轧复合过程的稳定性。当熔体压力过低时,熔体的横向流动能力减弱,铸轧区内不能完全被熔体填充满,板材出现热带、褶皱等缺陷,同时,在Ti/Al上出现了部分微孔和微裂缝。在较高熔体压力下,固/液接触距离更长,带材表面与熔体的润湿更加充分,熔体分布更加均匀,固/液扩散更加充分。因此,当熔体压力较高时,复合板具有更高的结合强度,界面结合强度达到20.1 N/mm。
