Effects of Multi-Phase Reinforcements on Microstructures, Mechanical and Tribological Properties of Cu/Ti3SiC2/C/BN/GNPs Nanocomposites Sintered by Vacuum Hot-Pressing and Hot Isostatic Pressing

چکیده
Cu/Ti3SiC2/C/BN/GNPs nanocomposites were prepared by vacuum hot-pressing (HP) sintering and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) sintering methods. Microstructures, mechanical and tribological properties of Cu/Ti3SiC2/C/BN/GNPs nanocomposites were investigated. Microstructures were examined by optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Mechanical properties were determined by the relative density, micro-Vickers hardness, as well as tensile strength, compressive strength and shear strength. Tribological behavior of the Cu/Ti3SiC2/C/BN/GNPs composite against the GCr15 steel ring was evaluated using an M-2000 wear tester with high tangential sliding velocity. Results demonstrated that BN and graphene nano-platelets (GNPs) have an impact on the microstructures and mechanical properties of Cu/Ti3SiC2/C/BN/GNPs nanocomposites. Based on microstructures, and mechanical and tribological properties of Cu/Ti3SiC2/C/BN/GNP nanocomposites, strengthening, fracture and wear mechanisms for synergistic enhancement by multi-phase reinforcements were analyzed.

Synergetic Effect of Graphene and MWCNTs on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Cu/Ti3SiC2/C Nanocomposites
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphenes have been taken for novel reinforcements due to their unique structure and performance. However, MWCNTs or graphenes reinforced copper matrix composites could not catch up with ideal value due to reinforcement dispersion in metal matrix, wettability to metal matrix, and composite material interface. Taking advantage of the superior properties...
