Then followed an examination of it with the FEI-SEM. The experimental results show that, distributed homogenously in Cu matrix, the Ti3SiC2 particles have a size of about 30-50 nm after milled with agate balls for 8 h, while it remains approximately unchanged after milled with zirconia balls. The microstructure of the mixture at different ball-milling stages was also studied. Bulks of Cu/Ti3SiC2 nano-composite were fabricated by hot pressing nano-sized Cu/Ti3SiC2 powder at the temperature of 1 073 K under 100 MPa. Then came an investigation of the effects of the particle size and agglomerate state of Ti3SiC2 as well as the microstructure of Cu/Ti3SiC2 nano-composite. It was found that the nano-sized Ti3SiC2 particles distribute evenly in copper.展开更多

Copper matrix composite reinforced with 5wt% of copper-coated Ti3SiC2 particulates were prepared by compacting mixed powder with a pressure of 700 MPa at 145 ℃, and then sintered at 1000 ℃ under cracked ammonia atmosphere for 60 min. In order to improve the density, rolling process was applied on the sintered samples, their density, hardness, electrical conductivity, ultimate tensile strength and tribological behaviors were studied. Results showed that the rolled composite with 30% deformation has a density of 8.28 g/cm3, a hardness of 1060 MPa (HB), an ultimate tensile strength of 288 MPa, an electrical resistivity of 7.0 ×10-8 Ω·m and a friction coefficient of 0.17.展开更多
