Book excerpt: Metal Matrix Composites by Friction Stir Processing discusses the capabilities of utilizing friction stir processing (FSP) as a tool to manufacture new materials, such as composites. FSP is considered a tool for grain refinement. However, this work illustrates how FSP has a wider capability due to the material flow and mixing the process offers. This book highlights such aspects by demonstrating the ability of the process to incorporate a second phase and make metal matrix composites (MMCs). The book covers the current research on processing MMCs by FSP, and presents a novel approach of making ductile MMCs by FSP using metal particle reinforcements. - Demonstrates how friction stir processing can be used to make metal matrix composites - Includes a review of different approaches of making metal matrix composites by friction stir processing - Demonstrates the utility of friction stir processing in making new types of non-equilibrium ductile composites - Provides a comparison of properties of friction stir processed composites to those of conventional metal matrix composites

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on fabrication of aluminum matrix composites using friction stir processing. Al 5059 alloy was selected as the matrix alloy, and the effect of processing parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties of this alloy was studied in detail. Friction stir processing was conducted using three different tools with different rotation speeds. Microstructural characterization was carried out by optical microscopy, SEM and TEM. It was shown that fine grains form in the stir zone as a result of dynamic recrystallization and these fine grains do not grow during the cooling cycle because of the effect of magnesium on reducing grain boundary mobility. TEM analysis also showed that the microstructure contained Al6(Mn,Fe) particles with two different morphologies. It was confirmed that refinement of these particles can more effectively pin the grain boundaries and suppress grain growth. Grain size measurement was performed on the samples to investigate the effect of process parameters on recrystallization and grain growth in the stir zone. Mechanical properties were also obtained by microhardness and tensile tests. A tool with 3 flats in combination with a rotation speed of 454 RPM provides slightly higher grain refinement and subsequent mechanical properties. It is shown that friction stir processing reduces the fraction of elongated precipitates that form on the grain boundaries of the base material, and this resulted in approximately a 10% improvement in elongation to failure in friction stir processed Al 5059 samples. Particle fragmentation also appeared to increase the rate of work hardening, which also likely contributed to enhanced ductility. A multi-pass multi-tool FSP technique using different processing parameters was proposed for fabrication of Al 5059/Al2O3 and Al 5059/CNT composites. A uniform distribution of reinforcing particles was achieved in both cases with a uniform hardness profile through the stir zone. The microhardness of the composites was significantly higher than the original aluminum alloy. However, it was noted that the thermo-mechanical cycles during processing of the Al/CNT composites have destroyed the tubular structure of the CNTs.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friction stir processing has been employed to produce metal matrix composites by incorporating reinforcement particles in an Al 5059 matrix. Various particles with sizes from 130 nm to 4.3 um, and different process parameters, were examined to obtain a uniform distribution of particles within the processed region. Mechanical properties (i.e. tensile and microhardness) of the Al 5059 matrix metal matrix composites reinforced with Al2O3, SiC, and B4C were tested and compared. Tensile tests demonstrated increases in yield strength by 20, 32, and 38 percent compared to the matrix alloy for composites containing Al2O3, SiC, and B4C, respectively. The average microhardness value within the stir zone increased from 85 HV in the base material to a maximum of 170 HV in the B4C-reinforced composite. Particle refinement during friction stir processing was more pronounced with micron-sized particles, and virtually insignificant for nano-sized particles. Nano-scale particles seem to be more efficient in increasing the hardness when a similar fraction is used compared to micro-sized particles.

Book excerpt: Metal Matrix Composites: Thermomechanical Behavior discusses metal matrix composites, elaborating on that consists of two phases—fiber as reinforcement and metal as matrix. This book focuses on polymer matrix composites, including topics in metal matrix composites ranging from processing to fracture mechanics. The three basic types of composite materials—dispersion-strengthened, particle-reinforced, and fiber (whisker)-reinforced, are also described in detail. Dispersion-strengthened is characterized by a microstructure consisting of an elemental matrix within which fine particles are uniformly dispersed, while particle-reinforced is indicated by dispersed particles of greater than 1.0 μm diameter with a volume fraction of 5 to 40%. Fiber (whisker)-reinforced provides a distinguishing microstructural feature of fiber-reinforced materials, such as that the reinforcing fiber has one long dimension, while the reinforcing particles of the other two types do not. This publication serves as a reference data book to students and researchers aiming to acquire knowledge of the thermomechanical behavior of metal matrix composites.
