Stress-induced damage evolution in cast AlSi12CuMgNi alloy with one- and two-ceramic reinforcements
Source abstract
Abstract
Two composites, consisting of an as-cast AlSi12CuMgNi alloy reinforced with 15 vol% AlO short fibres and with 7 vol% AlO short fibres + 15 vol% SiC particles, were studied. Synchrotron computed tomography disclosed distribution, orientation, and volume fraction of the different phases. In-situ compression tests during neutron diffraction in direction parallel to the fibres plane revealed the load partition between phases. Internal damage (fragmentation) of the Si phase and AlO fibres was directly observed in CT reconstructions. Significant debonding between Al matrix and SiC particles was also found. Finally, based on the Maxwell scheme, a micromechanical model was utilized for the new composite with two-ceramic reinforcements; it rationalizes the experimental data and predicts the evolution of all internal stress components in each phase.
