The microstructures of Si Cp/Al interfaces and precipitate phase/Al interfaces were characterized by HRTEM, and the interface conditions were evaluated by tensile modules of elasticity and Brinell hardness measurement. The results show that the overall Si Cp/Al interface condition in this experiment is good and three kinds of Si Cp/Al interfaces are present in the composites, which include vast majority of clean planer interfaces, few slight reaction interfaces and tiny amorphous interfaces. The combination mechanism of Si C and Al in the clean planer interface is the formation of a semi-coherent interface by closely matching of atoms and there are no fixed or preferential crystallographic orientation relationships between Si C and Al. MgAl2O4 spinel particles act as an intermediate to form semi-coherent interface with SiC and Al respectively at the slight reaction interfaces. When the composite is aged at 190 °C for 9 h after being solution-treated at 510 °C for 2 h, numerous discoid-shaped and needle-shaped nanosized precipitates dispersively exist in the composite and are semi-coherent of low mismatch with Al matrix. The Brinell hardness of composites arrives peak value at this time.展开更多

Examination of the microstructures of the plates showed that the TRed Mg/Al clad plate presented a straight interface, while a corrugated interface containing fractured intermetallic particulates was observed for the CFRed plate due to the inhomogeneous strain induced by the corrugated roller. During the CFR process, the corrugated roller can accelerate the rupture of the substrate work-hardening layers and facilitate the mutual extrusion of fresh metals to enhance the interface bonding. Compared with the traditional basal texture of the Mg alloy, the CFR process can change the texture morphology, thereby enhancing the plastic deformation ability of the Mg plate. Tensile tests showed that the CFRed Mg/Al clad plate exhibited a higher ultimate tensile strength(UTS, 316 MPa), which was~ 8% higher than that of the TRed plate(293 MPa). In addition, the bending curve of the CFRed clad plate was smooth and there was no stress sudden drop phenomenon in the bending process. The higher UTS and excellent bending properties of the CFRed clad plate could be attributed to the enhanced coordinated deformation ability of the substrates induced by the corrugated interface, grain refinement, and the change in the Mg alloy texture morphology.展开更多

The results showed that the interface between the matrix and reinforcements was clean and bonded well, without any interfacial reaction products. There were some preferential crystallographic orientation relationships between Al matrix and AI2O3 particle because of the lattice imperfection on the surface of Al2O3 particles.展开更多

The proeutectic Al3Ni phase that forms under an average cooling rate of 0.1 Ks^(-1) shows a characteristic faceted growth behavior and presents a typical 3 D morphology as partially hollow quadrangular prisms. On the contrary, that forms under an average cooling rate of 10 Ks^(-1) shows complicated dendritic morphology with asymmetrically distributed arms and faceted V-shape groove at the distal end, indicating a gradual transition of the growth behavior from non-faceted to faceted during the solidification process. These results reveal that the morphology of the proeutectic Al3Ni is highly sensitive to the solidification condition so that fine control of the desired morphology may be achieved by carefully manipulating the cooling profile.展开更多

文摘The paper study the interfacial mechanical properties and structural evolution mechanisms in 6061/AZ31B/6061 composite plates with and without Ni foil interlayers.For Ni-free interfaces,a continuous diffusion layer(3.5-4.0μm)forms,dominated by brittle columnar Al_(12)Mg_(17) intermetallic compounds(IMCs,0.27-0.35μm thick),which act as preferential crack initiation sites.In contrast,Ni foil implantation induces interfacial restructuring during hot rolling:Constrained deformation fragments the Ni foil into grid-like segments with"olive"-shaped crosssections,embedded into Mg/Al matrices.These fragments(56% areal coverage)coexist with dispersed multiphase IMCs(Mg_(2)Ni,Al_(3)Ni,Mg_(3)AlNi,Al_(12)Mg_(17);10-20 nm grains)at fragment edges,forming a hybrid interface of"willow-leaf"Al_(12)Mg_(17) islands and nanoscale Mg_(2)Ni/Al_(3)Ni layers(15-25 nm).Hall-Petch analysis reveals the multiphase IMC interface exhibits 3.6×higher"kd^(-1/2)"strengthening contribution than single-phase Al_(12)Mg_(17) systems,attributed to grain refinement(20 nm vs.260 nm average grain size).Synergistic effects of mechanical interlocking,adhesion hierarchy(Ni-Al>Ni-Mg>Al-Mg),and nanoscale reinforcement collectively enhance peel strength by 78%without compromising bulk tensile properties.

文摘Cu/Al bar clad material was fabricated by a drawing process and a subsequent heat treatment.During these processes,intermetallic compounds have been formed at the interface of Cu/Al and have affected its bonding property.Microstructures of Cu/Al interfaces were observed by OM,SEM and EDX Analyser in order to investigate the bonding properties of the material.According to the microstructure a series of diffusion layers were observed at the interface and the thicknesses of diffusion layers have increased with aging time as a result of the diffusion bonding.The interfaces were composed of 3-ply diffusion layers and their compositions were changed with aging time at 400 °C.These compositional compounds were revealed to be η2,(θ+η2),(α+θ) intermetallic phases.It is evident from V-notch impact tests that the growth of the brittle diffusion layers with the increasing aging time directly influenced delamination distance between the Cu sleeve and the Al core.It is suggested that the proper holding time at 400 °C for aging as post heat treatment of a drawn Cu/Al bar clad material would be within 1 h.

文摘Al/Cu laminate composite was fabricated based on hot press sintering using Cu sheet and Al powders as raw materials.The effects of sintering parameters on interfacial structure and mechanical properties were investigated.The results revealed that a uniform Al/Cu interface with excellent bonding quality was achieved.The thickness of intermetallic compounds(IMCs)reached 33.88μm after sintering at 620℃for 2 h,whereas it was only 14.88μm when sintered at 600℃for 1 h.AlCu phase was developed through the reaction between Al4Cu9 and Al2Cu with prolonging sintering time,and an amorphous oxide strip formed at AlCu/Al4Cu9 interface.Both the grain morphology and interfacial structure affected the tensile strength of Al/Cu laminate,whereas the mode of tensile fracture strongly relied on the interfacial bonding strength.The highest tensile strength of 151.1 MPa and bonding strength of 93.7 MPa were achieved after sintering at 600℃for 1 h.

文摘Cu/Al clad strips are prepared using solid?liquid cast-rolling bonding(SLCRB)technique with a d160mm×150mm twin-roll experimental caster.The extent of interfacial reactions,composition of the reaction products,and their micro-morphology evolution in the SLCRB process are investigated with scanning electron microscope(SEM),energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS),and X-ray diffraction(XRD).In the casting pool,initial aluminized coating is first generated on the copper strip surface,with the diffusion layer mainly consisting ofα(Al)+CuAl2and growing at high temperatures,with the maximum thickness of10μm.After sequent rolling below the kiss point,the diffusion layer is broken by severe elongation,which leads to an additional crack bond process with a fresh interface of virgin base metal.The average thickness is reduced from10to5μm.The reaction products,CuAl2,CuAl,and Cu9Al4,are dispersed along the rolling direction.Peeling and bending test results indicate that the fracture occurs in the aluminum substrate,and the morphology is a dimple pattern.No crack or separation is found at the bonding interface after90°-180°bending.The presented method provides an economical way to fabricate Cu/Al clad strip directly.

文摘The corrugated + flat rolling(CFR) and traditional rolling(TR) methods were used to prepare Mg/Al clad plates using AZ31 B Mg and 5052 Al plates, and the interface morphologies and mechanical properties of the resulting clad plates were compared. Examination of the microstructures of the plates showed that the TRed Mg/Al clad plate presented a straight interface, while a corrugated interface containing fractured intermetallic particulates was observed for the CFRed plate due to the inhomogeneous strain induced by the corrugated roller. During the CFR process, the corrugated roller can accelerate the rupture of the substrate work-hardening layers and facilitate the mutual extrusion of fresh metals to enhance the interface bonding. Compared with the traditional basal texture of the Mg alloy, the CFR process can change the texture morphology, thereby enhancing the plastic deformation ability of the Mg plate. Tensile tests showed that the CFRed Mg/Al clad plate exhibited a higher ultimate tensile strength(UTS, 316 MPa), which was~ 8% higher than that of the TRed plate(293 MPa). In addition, the bending curve of the CFRed clad plate was smooth and there was no stress sudden drop phenomenon in the bending process. The higher UTS and excellent bending properties of the CFRed clad plate could be attributed to the enhanced coordinated deformation ability of the substrates induced by the corrugated interface, grain refinement, and the change in the Mg alloy texture morphology.

文摘The microstructural characteristic of 1070AI matrix composites reinforced by 0.15 祄 AI2O3 particles whose volume fraction was 40% was investigated by TEM and HREM. The results showed that the interface between the matrix and reinforcements was clean and bonded well, without any interfacial reaction products. There were some preferential crystallographic orientation relationships between Al matrix and AI2O3 particle because of the lattice imperfection on the surface of Al2O3 particles.

文摘The properties of Sc-dopedθ′(Al_(2)Cu)/Al interface in Al−Cu alloys were investigated by first-principles calculations.Sc-doped semi-coherent and coherentθ′(Al_(2)Cu)/Al interfaces(Sc doped in Al slab(S1 site),Sc doped inθ′slab(S2 site))were modeled based on calculated results and reported experiments.Through the analysis of interfacial bonding strength,it is revealed that the doping of Sc at S1 site can significantly decrease the interface energy and increase the work of adhesion.In particular,the doped coherent interface with Sc at S1 site which is occupied by interstitial Cu atoms has very good bonding strength.The electronic structure shows the strong Al—Cu bonds at the interfaces with Sc at S1 site,and the Al—Al bonds at the interfaces with Sc at S2 site are formed.The formation of strong Al—Cu and Al—Al bonds plays an important role in the enhancement of doped interface strength.

文摘Traditional rolled(TR)aluminum(Al)/magnesium(Mg)/aluminum(Al)composite plates have many bottlenecks such as multiple passes,low interlaminar strength,and weak mechanical properties.In this paper,the hard-plate rolling(HPR)method was used to prepare Al/Mg/Al composite plates under a single pass reduction of 60%.The results show that the ultimate tensile strength(UTS)of the composite plate obtained by hard-plate rolling is 262.3 MPa,and the percentage of total elongation at fracture(At)is 12.3%,which is 31.6%and 37.4%higher than that of the traditional rolling,respectively.It is attributed to the unique corrugated interlocking structure of the interface of the composite plate caused by hard-plate rolling.The shear texture produced by the Mg plate weakens the strong-basal texture.At the same time,the strong basal slip and the large amount of energy stored in the deformed grains provide favorable conditions for dynamic recrystallized(DRX)nucleation.The microstructure is deeply refined by DRX,and the strength and plasticity of the composite plate are improved synchronously.It provides scientific guidance for the development of high-performance lightweight composite plates and the research on hard-plate rolling technology and also has good industrial production and application potential.

文摘Effect of cooling rate on the 3 D morphology and the growth mechanism of the proeutectic Al3Ni intermetallic compound(IMC) that forms at the Al/Ni interface after solidification was investigated by synchrotron X-ray microtomography in combination with EBSD analysis. The proeutectic Al3Ni phase that forms under an average cooling rate of 0.1 Ks^(-1) shows a characteristic faceted growth behavior and presents a typical 3 D morphology as partially hollow quadrangular prisms. On the contrary, that forms under an average cooling rate of 10 Ks^(-1) shows complicated dendritic morphology with asymmetrically distributed arms and faceted V-shape groove at the distal end, indicating a gradual transition of the growth behavior from non-faceted to faceted during the solidification process. These results reveal that the morphology of the proeutectic Al3Ni is highly sensitive to the solidification condition so that fine control of the desired morphology may be achieved by carefully manipulating the cooling profile.
