A conventional hot pressing method was used to produce Al-Cu-SiC particulate metal matrix composites. The matrix alloy was prepared from elemental powders of Al and 5 wt.% Cu. The composite comprises 13.3 or 27.2 vol.% SiCp with an average size of 10 mum. The powder mixtures were hot pressed uniaxially under nitrogen atmosphere. It is shown that Cu aids in the Formation of a liquid phase. Practically pore free structures are obtained after pressing at 600 degreesC, Elastic modulus, tensile strength and yield strength values were improved with incorporation of the reinforcement in composites prepared by fine Al powder. The ductility, on the other hand. decreased sharply with increasing amount of strengthening phase. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Investigation of microstructure inhomogeneity in SiCp-reinforced aluminum matrix composites Gacsi, Zoltan; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Makszimus, Andrea; Pieczonka, Tadeusz (2007-01-01) The type, volume fraction, size, shape and arrangement of embedded particles influence the mechanical properties of the particle reinforced metal matrix composites. This presents the investigation of the SiC particle and porosity distributions in various aluminum matrix composites produced by cold- and hot-pressing. The inicrostructures were characterized by optical microscopy and stereological parameters. SiC and porosity volume fractions, and the anisotropy distribution function were measured to establish...
Interfacial reaction kinetics and microstructural evolution of C/SiC composites to metal joints Saltık, Simge; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2021-9-09) In the present study, joining of two dissimilar materials namely C/SiC composites and Ti6Al4V alloys by brazing using Ag-Cu based brazing filler alloys have been investigated. The effect of active Ti element content, additive particle size/amount in the filler alloy together with the reinforcement structure, material properties of the C/SiC composite on the interface evolution mechanism and resulting mechanical performance of the brazed joints have been examined. Additionally, apart from the brazing studies...
Microstructure hierarchy - Mechanical property relationship for hypereutectic Al-Si alloy powders solidified far from equilibrium Kalay, Yunus Eren; Chumbley, L.s. (2006-12-01) Microstructural selection in aluminum silicon powder alloys can directly influence the consolidated materials' mechanical properties. However, due to processing and characterization difficulties, a complete understanding of powder microstructure as a function of undercooling and solidification velocity, and the role microstructure plays on mechanical properties, remains an elusive goal. In this study high pressure gas atomization processing was used to produce rapidly solidified hypereutectic Al-Si alloys. ...
Homogenization of ECAPed Al 2024 alloy through age-hardening KOTAN, G.; TAN, E.; Kalay, Yunus Eren; Gür, Cemil Hakan (2013-01-01) Mechanical properties of aluminum alloys can be improved by obtaining ultra-fine grained structures via severe plastic deformation methods such as equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). In practice, however, the final structure may not be as homogeneous as desired. Thus, elimination of the inhomogeneity of ECAPed samples is a challenging task. In the case of age-hardenable alloys, a combination of ECAP and aging might provide new means of obtaining microstructural homogeneity. In this study, the effect of p...
Microstructure and nanomechanical behavior of sputtered CuNb thin films Abboud, Mohammad; Motallebzadeh, Amir; Duygulu, Özgür; Maaß, Robert; Özerinç, Sezer (2021-09-01) We report on the mechanical properties of Cu–Nb alloys produced by combinatorial magnetron sputtering. Depending on the composition, the microstructure is either fully amorphous (~30–65 at.% Cu), a dispersion of Cu crystallites in an amorphous matrix (~70 at.%), or a dominant crystalline phase with separated nanoscale amorphous zones (~80 at.% Cu). Nanomechanical probing of the different microstructures reveals that the hardness of the fully amorphous alloy is much higher than a rule of mixture would predic...
