Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Mixtures of aluminium powder and nanoscaled SiC particles (n-SiC) at various volume fractions of 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 are comilled in a high energy planetary ball mill under an argon atmosphere to produce nanocrystalline Al–SiC nanocomposites. High resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) method, laser particle size analysis and powder density measurement were used to study the morphological changes and microstructural evolution occurred during mechanical alloying. Al–SiC composite powder with microscaled SiC particles (1 m m) was also synthesised and characterised to examine the influence of reinforcement particle size on the milling process. It was found that with increasing volume fraction of n-SiC, a finer composite powder with more uniform particle size distribution is obtained. The morphology of the particles also became more equiaxed at shorter milling times. Furthermore, the analysis of XRD patterns by Williamson–Hall method indicated that the crystallite size of the aluminium matrix decreases with increasing reinforcement volume content while the lattice strain changes marginally. As compared with microscaled SiC particles, it appeared that the effect of n-SiC on the milling stages is more pronounced. The results clearly show that the reinforcement particles influence the work hardening and fracture of the metal matrix upon milling, affecting the structural evolution. With decreasing size of the ceramic particles to nanoscale, this influence becomes more pronounced as the surface to volume fraction increases.
