Powder metallurgy route in production of aluminium alloy matrix particulate composites

  • 1. Inst. of Chemical Technology Prague, Prague (Czech Republic)

Description

Metal matrix composites based on an aluminium alloys were produced by powder metallurgy route, involved unidirectionally hot pressing under 500 MPa for 15 minutes at temperature about 0.95 Ts [Solidus Temperature]. Metal matrix contains different weight percents of SiC, αAl2O3, WC and Si3N4 with different particle size. Wear and mechanical tests have been carried out on composites, and it was found that about 90% of wear reduction occured in composite with 30% SiC compared with pressed matrix. (orig.)
