Abstract

SiCp/pure Al and SiCp/2024Al MMCs were fabricated by in-situ VHP process designed specially just in this study which is composed of the vacuum hot press at range from R.T. to $500^{\circ}C$ and the continuous extrusion without canning process at $520^{\circ}C$. It was investigated the effect of SiC particle size, volume fraction and extrusion ratio on the tensile properties and micro structure in auf composites. In case of the 10:1 extrusion ratio, but SiCp/pure Al and SiCp/2024Al composites were shown a sound appearance and a good micro structure without crack of SiCp as well as uniform distribution of SiCp. However, in case of the 16:1 extrusion ratio, the number of cracked SiC particles more than increased in a higher volume fraction composite and 2024Al matrix composite compared with pure Al matrix one. The tensile strength of the composites reinforced smaller SiCp was higher than that of the bigger SiCp reinforced in same volume fraction and extrusion ratio.

본 연구에서는 특별하게 고안된 In-situ VHP 제조 공정을 이용하여 상온에서 $500^{\circ}C$까지의 진공 열간 압축과 canning 작업 없이 $520^{\circ}C$에서 연속 압출옳 하여 Sicp/pure Al과 SiCp/2024Al MMCs를 제조하였다. 복합재료의 인장강도와 미세구조에 영향을 주는 SiC 입자크기, 체적률, 압출비에 대해서 조사하였다. 압출비 10:1의 경우에는 SiCp/pure Al과 SiCp/2024Al 복합재료 둘 다 건전한 외형과 SiCp의 일정한 분산을 가지면서 SiCp의 균열이 없는 좋은 미세 구조를 가지고 있었다. 그러나 압출비 16:1의 경우에는 체적률이 증가할수록 파괴된 SiC 입자의 수가 증가하였으며 2024Al 기지내의 복합재료와 순수한 Al 기지재 복합재료를 서로 비교하였다. 동일한 체적률과 압출비의 경우에는 SiCp의 크기가 작은 복합재료가 SiCp가 큰 복합재료보다 인장강도가 더 높았다.
