Core@shell structured Ti3C2Tx@Ni-reinforced Al composites with enhanced mechanical properties and electromagnetic interference shielding performance
Source abstract
Abstract
Al matrix composites reinforced with core@shell structured Ti3C2Tx@Ni particles have been prepared by pressureless-sintering and hot-extrusion technology. The as-prepared 1–3 wt% Ti3C2Tx@Ni/Al composites demonstrated improved mechanical properties and electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE). The Vickers hardness and tensile strength of Ti3C2Tx@Ni/Al composites increased with increasing reinforcement content. A hardness of 0.36 GPa and a tensile strength of 163 MPa were achieved in the 3 wt% Ti3C2Tx@Ni/Al composite, increased by 33% and 66%, respectively, but the ductility did not compromise too much, as compared with pure Al. The main mechanisms for the enhanced tensile strength but the maintained plasticity of the composites are the homogeneous distribution of reinforcement Ti3C2Tx@Ni particles, the efficient transfer of the applied stress from the soft Al matrix to the reinforcing particles, and the multi-absorbing energy mechanisms: delamination, buckling and kinking of Ti3C2Tx particles, crack branching and crack deflection. The 3 wt% Ti3C2Tx@Ni/Al composite also exhibited an enhanced EMI SE performance due to the synergic effect of the absorption loss of the Ti3C2Tx core and the magnetic loss of the Ni shell.
