Abstract
The Al-Cu-Mn (AA2219) composite reinforced by 5 wt% nano-sized TiB2 particles were fabricated by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) combined with thermal-mechanical processing to achieve a superior strength-ductility combination. Coupling the comprehensive characterizations and microstructure-based analysis, the strength-ductility mechanisms were deeply understood. Results reveal that the uniform dispersed nano-sized TiB2 particles under the current preparation process helps to improve the mechanical properties of the composite. The introduction of pre-stretch before artificial aging produced a fine θ' and S precipitates. By combining high-resolution TEM and crystal structure analysis, Al(Cu) and S phase at TiB2/Al interface were identified, and their mismatch (δ) with Al were 3.8 % and 4.8 %, respectively. Mechanisms related to pre-stretch effects on the formation of dislocation, θ' and S precipitates and corresponding structures are discussed, as well as the implications of TiB2/Al interface characteristics on strength and ductility.
期刊介绍:
Materials Characterization features original articles and state-of-the-art reviews on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials.
The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques). Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal.
The Journal provides the Materials Scientist/Engineer with up-to-date information on many types of materials with an underlying theme of explaining the behavior of materials using novel approaches. Materials covered by the journal include:
Metals & Alloys
Ceramics
Nanomaterials
Biomedical materials
Optical materials
Composites
Natural Materials.
