SiCf/C/TiAl composites were also prepared under the same processing condition for comparision. Both kinds of the composites were thermally exposed in vacuum at 800 and 900℃ for different durations in order to study thermal stability of the interfacial zone. With the aids of scanning electron microscope （SEM） and energy dispersive spectrometer （EDS）, the interracial microstructures of the composites were investigated. The results reveal that, although adding the Mo coating, the interfacial reaction product of the SiCf/C/Mo/TiAl composite is the same with that of the SiCf/C/TiA1 composite, which is TiC/Ti2AlC between the coating and the matrix. However, C/Mo duplex coating is more efficient in hindering interfacial reaction than C single coating at 900 ℃ and below. In addition, a new layer of interfacial reaction product was found between Ti2AlC and the matrix after 900 ℃, 200 h thermal exposure, which is rich in V and close to the chemical composition of B2 phase.展开更多

The study is carried out to investigate the dependence of the interface damage and the composite tensile strength on the micro parameters of the composite. These parameters contain fiber packing pattern, fiber volume fraction, and the modulus ratio of the fiber to the matrix. The investigation reveals that though the high fiber vo lume fraction, the high fiber′s modulus and the square fiber packing can supply strong reinforcement to the composite, the interface damage is susceptible in these cases. The tensile strength of the composite is dominated by the interface strength when the interface debonding occurs.展开更多

Results showed that the combination between aluminum alloy and fibers was well in two composites and interface reaction in M40/5A06Al composite was weaker than that in M40/6061Al composite. Coefficients of thermal expansion （CTE） of M40/Al composites varied approximately from （1.45-2.68）×10^-6 K^-1 to （0.35-1.44）×10^-6 K^-1 between 20℃ and 450℃, and decreased slowly with the increase of temperature. In addition, the CTE of M40/6061Al composite was lower than that of M40/SA06Al composite. It was observed that fibers were protruded significantly from the matrix after thermal expansion, which demonstrated the existence of interface sliding between fiber and matrix during the thermal expansion. It was believed that weak interracial reaction resulted in a higher CTE. It was found that the experimental CTEs were closer to the predicted values by Schapery model.展开更多

The effect of nitridation on the tensile strength of the fiber was investigated in this work. Nitridation could degrade the tensile strength of the SiC fiber if the treating temperature and time are not optimized. The chemical reaction between the W core and SiC and the modification of fiber microstructure during the nitridation are responsible for the degradation in strength. The strength can be maintained by further optimization of the treating temperature and time. Therefore, stabilizing the surface of TiBx coating and hence the interface of the SiCf/Ti composite by the nitridation of the SiC fiber is a feasible technique for practical applications.展开更多

Our contribution is to track the Evolution of the thermomechanical behavior by establishing a new mathematical model that describes the variation of shear stress along the interface. This model has been implemented in code in C++. The results revealed that the shear of the interface increases with temperature. This increase is partly due to the difference in expansion coefficient between fiber and matrix. The composite studied is T300/914;Carbon-Epoxy.展开更多

The smaller the output power, the lower the extent of interface reaction and the better the mechanical properties.展开更多

文摘C/Mo duplex coating interfacially modified SiC fiber-reinforced γ-TiAl matrix composite （SiCf/C/Mo/γ-TiA1） was prepared by foil-fiber-foil method to investigate its interfacial modification effect. SiCf/C/TiAl composites were also prepared under the same processing condition for comparision. Both kinds of the composites were thermally exposed in vacuum at 800 and 900℃ for different durations in order to study thermal stability of the interfacial zone. With the aids of scanning electron microscope （SEM） and energy dispersive spectrometer （EDS）, the interracial microstructures of the composites were investigated. The results reveal that, although adding the Mo coating, the interfacial reaction product of the SiCf/C/Mo/TiAl composite is the same with that of the SiCf/C/TiA1 composite, which is TiC/Ti2AlC between the coating and the matrix. However, C/Mo duplex coating is more efficient in hindering interfacial reaction than C single coating at 900 ℃ and below. In addition, a new layer of interfacial reaction product was found between Ti2AlC and the matrix after 900 ℃, 200 h thermal exposure, which is rich in V and close to the chemical composition of B2 phase.

文摘One-dimensional(1D)carbon nanofibers with unique three-dimensional(3D)network structure and high electrical conductivity are an important microwave absorbing material.However,due to poor impedance matching and single loss mechanism,its effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)is limited.Therefore,in this work,a porous hollow carbon fiber is designed using coaxial electrostatic spinning,and the magnetic component CoFe alloy is introduced during high temperature sintering to prepare porous CoFe hollow carbon fiber composite(CF@HCF).Its unique 1D nanostructure and 3D interconnected structure facili-tates multiple reflection losses of electromagnetic waves within the material.In addition,the presence of porous and hollow structures increases heterogeneous interfaces and surface area.The introduction of magnetic components on carbon fibers not only increases the magnetic loss,but also forms a variety of heterogeneous interfaces.In addition,the porous hollow structure improves the spatial efficiency and porosity of the composites,thus optimizing impedance matching.The results indicate that,at a filler ra-tio of 25 wt%,the EAB reaches 7.04 GHz,with a minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))of−50.04 dB under a matching thickness of 2.4 mm.In addition,to extend practical applications,CF@HCF composite membrane with excellent flexibility was prepared using PDMS encapsulation technology,and the sample also shows an average electromagnetic shielding performance of>30 dB.Besides,the radar cross section(RCS)val-ues are below−10 dB m²,demonstrating the material’s significant radar wave attenuation capability and practical application potential.This work provides some perspectives on the preparation of hollow carbon fiber magnetic powder composites,and lays the foundation for the application of magnetic carbon-based composites.

文摘Two kinds of unidirectional PAN M40 carbon fiber （55%, volume fraction） reinforced 6061Al and 5A06Al composites were fabricated by the squeeze-casting technology and their interface structure and thermal expansion properties were investigated. Results showed that the combination between aluminum alloy and fibers was well in two composites and interface reaction in M40/5A06Al composite was weaker than that in M40/6061Al composite. Coefficients of thermal expansion （CTE） of M40/Al composites varied approximately from （1.45-2.68）×10^-6 K^-1 to （0.35-1.44）×10^-6 K^-1 between 20℃ and 450℃, and decreased slowly with the increase of temperature. In addition, the CTE of M40/6061Al composite was lower than that of M40/SA06Al composite. It was observed that fibers were protruded significantly from the matrix after thermal expansion, which demonstrated the existence of interface sliding between fiber and matrix during the thermal expansion. It was believed that weak interracial reaction resulted in a higher CTE. It was found that the experimental CTEs were closer to the predicted values by Schapery model.

文摘Prenitridation of the TiBx coating surface of the Sigma SM1240 SiC fiber can form more stable compounds at the surface and obstruct the release of boron atoms into the Ti-based alloy matrix. The effect of nitridation on the tensile strength of the fiber was investigated in this work. Nitridation could degrade the tensile strength of the SiC fiber if the treating temperature and time are not optimized. The chemical reaction between the W core and SiC and the modification of fiber microstructure during the nitridation are responsible for the degradation in strength. The strength can be maintained by further optimization of the treating temperature and time. Therefore, stabilizing the surface of TiBx coating and hence the interface of the SiCf/Ti composite by the nitridation of the SiC fiber is a feasible technique for practical applications.

文摘A valid strategy to tailor the properties of polylactic acid for more extensive applications was introducing filler.In this work,basalt fiber assembled with in-situ SiO_(2) nanoparticles on the surface was successfully prepared via hydrothermal method and it was further treated with coupling agent KH-550 to improve interfacial interaction between polylactic acid(PLA)and basalt fibers(BF).It was demonstrated that the introduction of BFS could increase the crystallization of PLA and resulted in forming trans-crystallization based on TG and DSC results.The tensile strength of PLA/BF composites raised from 39 MPa to 62.5 MPa with increasing the fiber loading from 1 wt%to 10 wt%.Furthermore,the interfacial interaction could be effectively improved by assembling SiO_(2)(especially with 250 nm in diameter)on BF surface to build mechanical locking,which could keep the PLA matrix in place during the mechanical deformation with the tensile strength value raised from 62.5 MPa to 74.0 MPa.It is noticeable that the impact and flexural properties were effectively increased with the incorporation of in-situ SiO_(2) nanoparticles.The further KH-550 treatment made a positive impact as well.For instance,the impact strength and flexural strength of the sample with SiO_(2) and KH-550 modification were improved to 22.49 k J/m^(2) and 146.83 MPa and it enhanced about 42.16%and 41.04%than those of neat PLA,respectively.Therefore,an efficient enhancement of mechanical performance was achieved and this concept of assembling in-situ SiO_(2) on silica-based fiber as a modifier was a novel and simple path to design the interfacial construction and properties of the polymer composites.

文摘Evolution of precipitate and precipitate/matrix interface in artificially aged Al-Zn-Mg-Cu(-Ag)alloys has been systematically studied.In the early stage of ageing,Ag,as a fast diffuser,can promote the formation of solute pairs and small clusters.Solute clusters are further demonstrated to be able to act as precursors forη’precipitates by in-situ STEM heating.With prolonged ageing time,the precipitate/matrix interface evolves from the Zn-dominated interface between early-stageη’and Al matrix to the Zn and Mg co-segregatedη’/Al andη_(2)/Al interfaces.Theη’/Al interfacial layers are shown to precede the formation ofη’,while theη_(2)/Al interfaces are found to be closely related to the thickening process ofη_(2)and the involved particular atomic movements are specified.Experimental observations and DFT calculations re-veal that forη’andη_(2),Ag can dissolve into the precipitate as well as locate at the precipitate/matrix interface without showing preference.For Cu,its dissolution in the precipitate and segregation on the interface mainly occur forη_(2)rather thanη’.The incorporation of Ag and Cu does not change the defined precipitate structure.

文摘Metal matrix composites(MMCs)incorporate a reinforcing or functional secondary phase into a metal matrix to achieve specific properties.Of the parameters which may affect the mechanical behavior of MMCs,the structure and properties of the reinforcement/matrix interface play a crucial role.This article reviews recent developments in measuring the interfacial properties in advanced MMCs,with an emphasis on the use of micro-/nano-mechanical testing approaches.It is shown that,with the novel in situ and ex situ experimental capability,researchers can now obtain some of the critical interfacial properties as well as the effects of reinforcement/matrix interfaces on the composites’deformation and failure mechanisms that were unattainable previously by conventional methodologies.Moreover,the micro-/nano-mechanical testing platform allows for both fundamental and applied research on the composites’mechanical performance under service conditions,which is considered a promising and emerging research direction.

文摘Magnesium matrix composites have garnered significant attention in recent years owing to their exceptional lightweight properties and notable potential in various engineering applications.The interface generally acts as a“bridge”between the matrix and reinforcement,playing crucial roles in critical processes such as load transfer,failure behavior,and carrier transport.A deep understanding of the interfacial structures,properties,and effects holds paramount significance in the study of composites.This paper presents a comprehensive review of prior researches related to the interface of Mg matrix composites.Firstly,the different interfacial structures and interaction mechanisms encompassing mechanical,physical,and chemical bonding are introduced.Subsequently,the interfacial mechanical properties and their influence on the overall properties are discussed.Finally,the paper addresses diverse interface modification methods including matrix alloying and reinforcement surface treatment.
文摘Interface reaction of SiC w/6061Al aluminium matrix composite subjected to laser welding was studied. It is pointed out that the main reason for bad weldability of the material is concerned with the interface reaction during the welding. Effects of welding parameters on interface reaction were also investigated. The results show that the interface bonding state can be improved by laser beam, and the main welding parameter affecting the strength of weld is laser output power. The smaller the output power, the lower the extent of interface reaction and the better the mechanical properties.

文摘Sizing treatment is a suitable technique to modify the fiber-matrix interfaces without damage of inherent performance of fibers.In this work,sizing agents based on Janus particles(JPs)were utilized to enhance the interface of basalt fiber(BF)/poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC)composites.polystyrene/poly(butyl acrylate)(PS/PBA)@silica JPs were synthesized by seed emulsion polymerization and three different sizing agents were prepared for BF sizing treatment.JPs with organic soft sphere and inorganic hard hemisphere enhanced the interfaces through their amphiphilicity,chemical bonding and mechanical interlock.The mechanical properties of composite with JPs sizing treated BFs performed better when there was one JPs layer modified on the interface.According to the intermitting bonding and gradient modulus theory,JPs patterned interfaces are ideal transition layers between high modulus BF and low modulus PVC.

文摘Improving interfacial bonding and alloying design are effective strategies for enhancing mechanical properties of particle-reinforced steel matrix composites(SMCs).This study prepared SMCs with uniformly distributed TiC_(P)in matrix using master alloying method.The TiC(002)/Fe(011)interface model was established based on the orientation relationship of(011)_(Fe)//(002)_(TiC),and[100]_(Fe)//[100]_(TiC).The effects of single and co-doping of alloying elements(Mn,Cr,Mo,Ni,Cu and Si)on the interface bonding behavior of TiC/Fe in composites were investigated in conjunction with first principles.The results demonstrate that the interface between TiC and matrix is continuous and stable.Compared to the undoped TiC/Fe interface,single-doping Mn,Cr,and Mo can improve the stability of TiC/Fe interface and enhance tensile strength.Conversely,single-doping with Ni,Cu,and Si reduced the interface stability and marginally reduces tensile strength.Relative to the undoped and singly Ni-doped TiC/Fe interfaces,the co-doping Ni-Mo boosts binding energy and separation work at the TiC/Fe interface,which is conducive to the interface bonding between TiC_(P)and matrix,and thus improves the mechanical properties of composites.Thus,in the alloying design of TiC particle reinforced low-alloy SMCs,incorporating Mn,Cr,Mo,and Ni into matrix can enhance the overall mechanical properties of composites.
