扭转圈数对高压扭转SiCP/Al复合材料界面扩散行为和组织性能的影响

摘要

采用OM和EDS研究不同扭转圈数下高压扭转法制备SiCP/Al复合材料的显微组织和界面扩散行为,并结合组织特点和界面特征分析扭转圈数对复合材料拉伸性能和断裂机理的影响.结果表明:扭转圈数的增加可以有效提高SiC颗粒分布的均匀性,闭合孔隙,界面处Al元素扩散能力增强,扩散距离增大,Al扩散系数实际计算值较理论值增大了1017倍,形成以元素扩散和界面反应为主的强界面结合,试样抗拉强度和伸长率不断提高,少量的SiC颗粒均匀分布在断口韧窝中,断裂主要以基体的韧性断裂为主;当扭转圈数较大时,SiC颗粒在剧烈剪切作用下破碎加剧,颗粒"再生团聚"导致孔隙率增大,潜在裂纹源增多,形成大量结合强度较低的断裂新生界面,试样抗拉强度和伸长率显著降低,在团聚位置易形成尺寸较大的深坑韧窝,复合材料断裂呈现韧性断裂与脆性断裂的混合模式.%The microstructure and interface diffusion behaviour of SiCP/Al composites prepared by high-pressure torsion under different turning numbers were investigated by OM and EDS, and the effect of turning numbers on the tensile properties and fracture mechanism was analysed combined with microstructure and interface characteristics.The results show that increasing the turns can improves the uniformity of the particles and reduces the porosity, with the Al diffusion ability enhanced and the diffusion distance increased, and the diffusion coefficient of Al is enhanced by about 1017 times in comparison with the theoretical value, leading to tensile strength and elongation of composites improved continuously and the fracture is mainly based on the ductile fracture of matrix, with a small amount of SiC particles distributed uniformly in the dimple of the fracture.When the turns come to bigger, SiC particles are broken severely by the shearing deformation, particles "regeneration and agglomeration" leads to increased porosity and more potential crack sources, forming a large quantity of new fracture interfaces with low bond strength.The tensile strength and elongation of the sample decrease greatly, and it is easy to form larger deep dimples in the agglomeration, composite fracture exhibits the mixed mode of ductile fracture and brittle fracture.
