Microstructural and mechanical properties analysis of an aluminium matrix composite reinforced with the amorphous alloy Al87.5Ni4Sm8.5 consolidated by hot extrusion

Description

The aim of this work is the microstructure and the mechanical properties analysis of an aluminium matrix composite reinforced with the Al87.5Ni4Sm8.5 amorphous alloy. The amorphous alloy was produced by melt-spinning and fragmented in powder particles by milling. Pure aluminium power was moistured with amorphous powder in a proportion of 80:20 (% weight) and processed by milling using 350 rpm during 30 minutes for the generation of a homogeneous composite powder. This product was consolidated by extrusion at 235 deg C, ram speed of 2mm/min and extrusion ratio of 7/1, generating a compact and cylindrical bar with 3 mm of width. The result sample was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Microhardness and compression tests show an improvement on the mechanical properties. (author)
