Abstract
The mecllanical properties of AI/TiCp composite fabrication by liquid mixing was investigat ed. The composites, containing 10 wt% Tic. were producwi using induction furnace with mechanical stirring. The amounts of' 1.5wt% Mg were, added to wetting agents. Thr presence of aluminum in TiC composites showed rnhanced strengrh without loss of ductility at room and clrvated temperatures. Espe cially, wear resistance was found to dramatically irnprovc. I3ul excess stirring d~terrninrd the mect~ani~ cal properties. Approximate values at present work were 500 rpm. There was no inrerfacial reaction of any kind and the interface remains clearly deineated.
TiC 입자를 강화재로 한 AI금속기지 복합재료를 액상교반법으로 제조하는데 따른 제조조건과 물성특성과의 관계를 조사하였다. TiC 입자는 중량비 10%를 첨가하였으며, 젖음성을 향상시키기 위하여 1.5wt%의 Mg을 첨가하였다. TiC입자 첨가에 의하여 내마모 특성, 인장강도, 경도 등이 증가 되었으나 과도한 교반은 기계적 특성을 저하시켰다. 본 실험조건에서 교반 속도의 최적조건은 500rpm이었다. Wetting agent로서 첨가한 Mg은 기지에 고루 분산하였다.
