The composites are free of porosity and silicon particles distribute uniformly in the composites. The properties and fracture behavior of the composites were studied. The composites fracture is aroused by silicon brittle fracture and extends to the composites inward through the metallurgical structure and fracture analysis. The thermal expansion behavior of the composites was investigated by a high-precision thermomechanical analyzer,and compared with the predictions of theoretical model. The mean linear coefficient of thermal expansion(CET) of Al/Si composites ranges from 8×10-6 to 10×10-6/ ℃ and decreases with increasing silicon volume fraction.展开更多

The thermal conductivity and the thermal expansion coefficient of the SiC-Dia/Al were calculated by differential effective medium（DEM） theoretical model and extended Turner model, respectively. The microstructure of the SiC-Dia/Al shows that the combination between SiC particles and Al is close, while that between diamond particles and Al is not close. The experimental results of the thermophysical properties of the SiC-Dia/Al are consistent with the calculated ones. The calculation results show that when the volume ratio of the diamond particles to the SiC particles is 3：7, the thermal conductivity and the thermal expansion coefficient can be improved by 39% and 30% compared to SiC/Al composites, respectively. In other words, by adding a small amount of diamond particles, the thermophysical properties of the composites can be improved effectively, while the cost increases little.展开更多
