摘要
采用化学镀铜的方法对B4C颗粒表面进行改性,以提高颗粒与基体合金之间的界面结合强度。通过等离子放电烧结(SPS)的方法制备颗粒含量为10%~50%的B4C/6061Al复合材料;对制备的复合材料的微观组织形貌、物相组成进行观察分析,并通过高速往复摩擦磨损试验机研究分析其磨损机制。结果表明:B4C颗粒均匀分布于基体合金中,B4C颗粒表面的镀铜层在等离子烧结过程中与基体发生反应,生成第二相Al2Cu,改善了增强体与基体间的结合情况;相对于B4C/6061Al复合材料,采用镀铜处理后的碳化硼制备出的复合材料表现出较低的磨损率,其磨损机制主要为粘着磨损、磨粒磨损和氧化磨损。
Electroless copper plating method was used to modify the surface of B4 C particles,aiming at improving the bonding strength of interface between the particles and the alloy matrix.B4C/6061A1 composites with particle weight fraction around 10%~50% were prepared by plasma discharge sintering(SPS).Microstructure morphology and phase composition of the as-prepared composite materials were observed and analyzed,wear properties and the wear mechanism were investigated by high-speed reciprocating friction and wear tester.The results show that B4 C particles are dispersed evenly among the alloy matrix,the copper layer over the surface of B4 C particles reacts with the matrix during the SPS process,generating a second phase Al2 Cu,which enhances the bonding strength between the reinforcement and the matrix;compared with B4C/6061A1 composites,copper cladded B4 C aluminum composites show lower wear rates.The main wear mechanisms are adhesive wear,abrasive wear and oxidation wear.
