Abstract and Figures

Aluminum reinforced with a large amount (up to about 55 vol.%) of Al3Ti particles can be fabricated from Al-20Ti elemental nanometer-sized powder mixture via in-situ two step hot press sintering (TSS). For production of intermetallic reinforced in-situ composite, TSS can provide elevated temperature to facilitate the formation of intermetallic phase in situ and hot consolidation to form a fully dense solid. The first step sintering was employed at a higher temperature to obtain an initial high density, and the second step was held at a lower temperature by isothermal sintering for more time than the first one to increase bulk density without significant grain growth. The optimum TSS regime consisted of heating at 625°C for 5 min (1st step) and 570°C for 40 min (2nd step) with applied pressure of 470 MPa, resulting in the formation of near full dense microstructure (0.97 TD) with suppressed grain growth.
