Interfacial microstructure of SiCp/Al composite produced by the pressureless infiltration technique
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract A SiCp/Al composite was fabricated by the pressureless infiltration of an Al–Mg–Si alloy into the pre-oxidized SiC preform at 1000 °C for one hour. The composite fully infiltrated and a homogenous distribution of SiC particles was confirmed. MgAl 2 O 4 was found as the interfacial reaction product, its formation deriving from the reactions: 2 Mg + SiO 2 = 2 MgO + Si and 2 MgO + 4 Al + 3 SiO 2 = 2 MgAl 2 O 4 + 3 Si . The factors influencing the spontaneous infiltration process were also discussed.
