Bulks of Al-B-C obtained by reactively spark plasma sintering and impact properties by Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar.

ABSTRACT: Mixtures of B₄C, ?-AlB₁₂ and B powders were reactively spark plasma sintered at 1800?°C. Crystalline and amorphous boron powders were used. Samples were tested for their impact behavior by the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar method. When the ratio R?=?B₄C/?-AlB₁₂ ? 1.3 for a constant B-amount, the major phase in the samples was the orthorhombic AlB₂₄C₄, and when R?24C₄ significantly decreased. Predictions that AlB₂₄C₄ has the best mechanical impact properties since it is the most compact and close to the ideal cubic packing among the Al-B-C phases containing B₁₂-type icosahedra were partially confirmed. Namely, the highest values of the Vickers hardness (32.4?GPa), dynamic strength (1323?MPa), strain and toughness were determined for the samples with R?=?1.3, i.e., for the samples with a high amount of AlB₂₄C₄. However, the existence of a maximum, detectable especially in the dynamic strength vs. R, indicated the additional influence of the phases and the composite's microstructure in the samples. The type of boron does not influence the dependencies of the indicated mechanical parameters with R, but the curves are shifted to slightly higher values for the samples in which amorphous boron was used.

Mixtures of B4C, α-AlB12 and B powders were reactively spark plasma sintered at 1800 °C. Crystalline and amorphous boron powders were used. Samples were tested for their impact behavior by the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar method.

Project description:The bimodal-grain-size 7075 aluminium alloys containing varied ratios of large and small 7075 aluminium powders were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The large powder was 100 ± 15 ?m in diameter and the small one was 10 ± 5 ?m in diameter. The 7075 aluminium alloys was completely densified under the 500 °C sintering temperature and 60 MPa pressure. The large powders constituted coarse grain zone, and the small powders constituted fine grain zone in sintered 7075 aluminium alloys. The microstructural and microchemical difference between the large and small powders was remained in coarse and fine grain zones in bulk alloys after SPS sintering, which allowed for us to investigate the effects of microstructure and microchemistry on passive properties of oxide film formed on sintered alloys. The average diameter of intermetallic phases was 201.3 nm in coarse grain zone, while its vale was 79.8 nm in fine grain zone. The alloying element content in intermetallic phases in coarse grain zone was 33% to 48% higher than that on fine grain zone. The alloying element depletion zone surrounding intermetallic phases in coarse grain zone showed a bigger width and a more severe element depletion. The coarse grain zone in alloys showed a bigger electrochemical heterogeneity as compared to fine grain zone. The passive film formed on coarse grain zone had a thicker thickness and a point defect density of 2.4 × 1024 m-3, and the film on fine grain zone had a thinner thickness and a point defect density of 4.0 × 1023 m-3. The film resistance was 3.25 × 105 ?cm2 on coarse grain zone, while it was 6.46 × 105 ?cm2 on fine grain zone. The passive potential range of sintered alloys increased from 457 mV to 678 mV, while the corrosion current density decreased from 8.59 × 10-7 A/cm2 to 6.78 × 10-7 A/cm2 as fine grain zone increasing from 0% to 100%, which implied that the corrosion resistance of alloys increased with the increasing content of fine grains. The passive film on coarse grain zone exhibited bigger corrosion cavities after pitting initiation compared to that on fine grain zone. The passive film formed on fine grain zone showed a better corrosion resistance. The protectiveness of passive film was mainly determined by defect density rather than the thickness in this work.
