Abstract

Powder metallurgy has been employed for the development of SiC particle reinforced aluminum metal matrix composites by means of hot isotropic pressing and vacuum hot pressing. A material model based on micro-mechanical approach then has been presented for the processes. Densification occurs by the inelastic flow of matrix materials during the consolidation, and consequently it depends on many process conditions such as applied pressure, temperature and volume fraction of reinforcement. The model is implemented into finite element software so that the process simulation can be performed enabling the predicted relative density to be compared with experimental data. In order to determine the performance of finished products, further tensile test has been conducted using the developed specimens. The effect of internal void of the materials on mechanical properties therefore can be investigated.

분말야금법 및 고온진공가압기술, 열간등가압성형기술을 이용하여 알루미늄 금속기 복합재료를 제작하였으며 이들과 관련한 미시역학 기반 강화공정 모델을 개발하였다. 고온, 가압 성형공정은 기지재료의 비탄성거동과 성형체 내부의 기공 제거를 통한 충진을 수반하게 되며 이러한 공정은 압력, 온도 및 강화재의 체적분률 등과 같은 공정변수의 영향을 받게 된다. 따라서 개발된 강화공정 모델을 유한요소해석 프로그램에 적용함으로써 고온진공가압과 열간등가압 동안 기공의 상대밀도 변화에 따른 충진거동을 예측하였고 다양한 공정조건 하에서 실험결과와 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 완성된 알루미늄 금속기 복합재료의 건전성 평가와 관련하여 인장시험을 수행하였으며 초기 잔존하는 기공의 영향에 따른 제반 기계적 특성을 고찰할 수 있었다.
