Effect on Hardness and Densification of Mwcnt Reinforced Aa2219 Composites Sintered in Different Methods
نویسنده
چکیده
The current research compares the processing influence of Spark plasma sintering (SPS) over conventional sintering on aluminium alloy AA2219 MWCNT composites. Also investigations on the effect of MWCNT content on the properties of composite are presented and discussed. Though unreinforced matrix processed under SPS showed 24.68% improvement in hardness over conventional, the same could not be realized in reinforced one due to poor bonding between the matrix and reinforcement. CNT clustering hinders proper densification during sintering and results in poor hardness; hence reinforced samples don’t have a drastic change in hardness with respect to process variation.

Abstract: The refractory diborides (HfB2 and ZrB2) are considered as promising ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTCs) where low damage tolerance limits their application for the thermal protection system in re-entry vehicles. In this regard, SiC and CNT have been synergistically added as the sintering aids and toughening agents in the spark plasma sintered (SPS) HfB2-ZrB2 system. Herein, a nove...
