The increasing demand of PM parts for automobile and aerospace applications has caused a strong development of the aluminium based metal matrix composites (MMCs).Aluminium alloys are one of most widely used materials as matrix in MMCs, both in research and development as well as in industrial applications. In the present work, the influence of the ceramic reinforcement addition to a 2xxx series aluminium alloy is studied. Several percentages of TiCN have been added to the Al-Cu alloy using PM techniques, in order to analyze its influence on the liquid phase sintering process and on the final properties of the material.

In the present study, the effects of Al/SiC interface reaction and the formation of $Al_4C_3$ compounds on the mechanical properties of the Al/SiC composites prepared by squeeze casting were investigated. After squeeze casting, the size of dendrites in Al without whiskers were larger than those with whiskers. The hardness of composite materials (about 72 Hv) was found to be approximating 40% higher than that of matrix metal (29Hv), which gradually increases which heat treatment Time showing maximum hardness at 12hr. The observation of increasing number of compounds in 12hrs heat treatment suggests that these compounds are responsible for the increase of hardness. By X-ray diffraction studies, those compounds were identified as $Al_4C_3$, (Al, Si). And intensity of Si peak increased. The tensile strengh of composite materials was gradually decresed by heat tretment, which was in contrast to the behavior of hardeness. With incresing heat tretment time, the fracture mode of composite materials was changed from large dimples and pull-out form of fiber to the fracture and rupture foum of fiber.

The squeeze infiltration process is potentially of considerable industrial importance. The performance enhancements resulting from incorporation of short alumina fiber into aluminum are well documented. These are particularly significant for certain automobile components. Aluminum matrix composite automotive parts, such as diesel engine pistons or engine blocks are produced using squeeze casting apparatus or pressure die-casting apparatus. But the solidification process gets complicated with manufacturing parameters and the factors for porosity formation have not fully understood yet. In this study the formation of porosity during squeeze infiltration has been studied experimentally to achieve an improved understanding of the squeeze infiltration process for manufacture of short-fiber-reinforced components, particularly the mechanism of porosity formation. Al-based MMCs produced under a range of conditions were examined metallographically and the porosity characterised;a kind of matrix, an initial temperature of melt, and a volume fraction of reinforcement. The densimetry and the microscopic image analysis were done to measure the amount of porosity. A correlation between manufacturing parameters and defects was investigated through these.

본 연구는 보강재의 부피분율이 49%, 56%, 63%첨가된 패키징용 SiC/Al복합재료를 가압주조법을 통해 개발하였다. SiC/Al복합재료는 0.8%의 무기성형제와 $Al_2$O$_3$섬유가 SiC입자에 비해 부피비 1:10의 비율로 첨가되었으며 새로이 고안된 몰드에서 제조되었다. 제조된 SiC/Al복합재료에 대해 30-300 구간에서 열팽창 계수를 측정하고, FEM수치해석과 비교하여 온도에 따른 특성을 분석하였다. 실험결과 SiC/Al복한재료의 열팽창계수는 혼합법칙, Turner모델의 중간값을 가졌으며 상온에서는 Turner모델에 가깝다가 온도가 높아질수록 혼합법칙에 가까와졌다. 이러한 특성은 모재의 소성변형 및 잔류응력에 의한 것으로 본 연구에서 제안한 모재와 보강재 사이에 작용하는 평균응력 차이로부터 분석이 된다. 해석결파 모재의 소성변형이 시작되는 온도에서 SiC/Al복합재료의 열팽창계수가 급격히 증가하였으며, 가공 잔류응력은 이러한 소성변형의 시작온도를 고온으로 이동시킴으로써 열팽창계수에 영향을 끼침을 밝혔다. 이러한 일련의 연구를 통해 온도에 따른 열팽창 특성은 복수입자모델에 의한 2차인 해석을 통해 성공적으로 분석됨을 보였다.

교반관법으로 제조한 $AZ91HP/SiC_p$ Mg 복합재료를 틱소포팅하여 미세조직과 존재상들을 조사하였다. $AZ91HP/SiC_p$ Mg 복합재료를 반응고 가공시 액상율 50% 이상에서 완전 충전이 이루어겼으며 전형적인 반응고 조직을 보였다. 복합재료내의 강화상이 초정 $\alpha$상의 합체, 조대화를 억제하여 보다 용이하게 thixotropic 조직을 가질 수 있었다. TEM 관찰결과, 복합재료내의 계면반응 생성물은 MgO, $Mg_2Si$ 및 $Al_{12}Mg_{17}$등이며, 직접 가압시 정출상으로 나타나는 비평형상인 decagonal T상이 관찰되었으며, 이 상은 간접가압시 안정상인 $Al_6Mn$의 형태로 관찰되었다. 이는 간접가압시 승온시간이 직접가압보다 상대적으로 길어, 비평형의 decagonal T상이 안정한 $Al_6Mn$상으로 생성된 것으로 판단된다. 아직까지 생성과정이 명확하진 않으나 교반관법으로 제조 후, 2차가압 성형시 비평형상의 존재는 재료의 강화에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

Effect of matrix microstructure on creep behaviors of squeeze cast magnesium matrix composites was investigated. Aluminum borate whisker was used as reinforcement and AZ31, AS52 and Sr added AS52 Mg alloys were used for matrix alloys. The reinforcement was distributed homogeneously and defect-free composite was manufactured. Creep tests were carried out at the temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ under the applied stress of 50 and 100 MPa for Mg alloys and Mg MMCs, respectively. The creep resistance of Mg MMCs was in this order: AS52-Sr > AS52 AZ31 MMCs. Void initiation during creep mainly occurred at $Mg/Mg_{17}Al_{12}$ interface and propagation went along grain boundaries. On the other hand, $Mg_2Si$ phase was not attributed to the creep void initiation.

Al-Fe-V-Si alloys reinforced with SiC particles were prepared by multi-layer spray deposition technique. Both microstructures and mechanical properties including hardness and tensile properties development during hot exposure process of Al-8.5Fe-1.3V-1.7Si, Al-8.5Fe-1.3V-1.7Si/15 vol% $SiC_P$ and Al-10.0Fe-1.3V-2Si/15 vol% $SiC_P$ were investigated. The experimental results showed that an amorphous interface of about 3 nm in thickness formed between SiC particles and the matrix. SiC particles injected silicon into the matrix; thus an elevated silicon concentration was found around $\alpha-Al_{12}(Fe,\;V)_3Si$ dispersoids, which subsequently inhibited the coarsening and decomposition of $\alpha-Al_{12}(Fe,\;V)_3Si$ dispersoids and enhanced the thermostability of the alloy matrix. Moreover, the thermostability of microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-10.0Fe-1.3V-2Si/15 vol% $SiC_P$ are of higher quality than those of Al-8.5Fe-1.3V-1.7Si/15 vol% $SiC_P$.

In order to save the energy and protect the environment, it were studied about ecomaterials with the developed countries as central figure. In the Metal Matrix Composites(MMCs), this trends appeared the development of the MMCs which had excellent mechanical properties in spite of the low volume fraction of reinforcement. Therefore, in this study, fatigue crack growth test, tensile and hardness test were conducted in order to investigate the mechanical and fatigue properties of 5 %, and 10 % $SiC_{p}$/Al composites. As the results, in the tensile and hardness test, tensile strength and hardness increased but fatigue crack growth rate decreased with $SiC_{p}$/Al volume fraction. And in the view of fatigue failured surface through the SEM, fatigue crack initiated around the SiC particle and in low $\Delta{K}$ regions, fatigue creck detoured the SiC particle but crack propagated through the SiC particle in the high $\DeltaK$ regions.

This work is to present a new synthesis of metallic glass (MG)/metallic glass (MG) composites using gas atomization and spark plasma sintering (SPS) processes. The MG powders of $Cu_{54}Ni_6Zr_{22}Ti_{18}$ (CuA) and $Ni_{59}Zr_{15}Ti_{13}Nb_7Si_3Sn_2Al_1$(NiA) as atomized consist of fully amorphous phases and present a different thermal behavior; $T_g$ (glass transition temperature) and $T_x$ (crystallization temperature) are 716K and 765K for the Cu base powder, but 836K and 890K for the Ni base ones, respectively. SPS process was used to consolidate the mixture of each amorphous powder, being $CuA/10\%NiA\;and\;NiA/10\%CuA$ in weight. The resultant phases were Cu crystalline dispersed NiA matrix composites as well as NiA phase dispersed CuA matrix composites, depending on the SPS temperatures. Effect of the second phases embedded in the MG matrix was discussed on the micro-structure and mechanical properties.
