摘要
Rice husk ash(RHA) is a potential particulate reinforcement to produce aluminum matrix composites(AMCs)economically.Compocasting method was applied to produce aluminum alloy AA6061 reinforced with various amounts(0,2%,4%,6%and 8%,mass fraction) of RHA particles.The prepared composites were characterized using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.X-ray diffraction patterns of AA6061/RHA AMCs revealed the presence of RHA particles without the formation of any other intermetallic compounds.The scanning electron micrographs showed a homogeneous distribution of RHA particles all over the aluminum matrix.Intragranular distribution of RHA particles was observed.Further,RHA particles were bonded well with the aluminum matrix and a clear interface existed.The reinforcement of RHA particles enhanced the microhardness and ultimate tensile strength(UTS) of the AMCs.The tensile behavior is correlated to the microstructure of the AMCs.
稻壳灰(RHA)是一种有潜力的廉价铝基复合材料的增强颗粒。采用复合铸造方法制备不同稻壳灰含量(0,2%,4%,8%,质量分数)增强的AA6061铝合金复合材料。采用X射线衍射和扫描电镜对所制备复合材料进行表征。X射线衍射谱表明AA6061/RHA铝基复合材料中除RHA颗粒外未形成其他金属间化合物。扫描电镜图片表明RHA颗粒均匀分布在铝基体中。RHA基本分布在晶粒内部。此外,RHA颗粒与铝基体结合良好并形成清晰的界面。RHA颗粒的添加能提高铝基复合材料的显微硬度和抗拉强度。铝基复合材料的拉伸行为与其微观组织密切相关。
