doi:10.13251/j.issn.0254-6051.2024.12.012

Abstract

Abstract: 55vol%SiC_p/6061Al composite was prepared by using hot isostatic pressing method. The effect of aging treatment at 170, 180, and 190 ℃ on the mechanical properties of the composite was investigated. The results show that the hardness and bending strength of the as-prepared composite are 182.4 HBW and 440 MPa, respectively. The composite exhibits typical double-peak aging behavior and dynamic acceleration phenomenon. As the aging temperature increases from 170 ℃ to 190 ℃, the time corresponding to the first peak aging decreases from 2.5 h to 0.3 h. The aging treatment can significantly improve the mechanical properties of the composite and the optimal aging temperature is 180 ℃. Correspondingly, the hardness of the composite aged for 1 h is the highest, which is 236.3 HBW, with an increment of 29.6%, while the bending strength of the composite aged for 4.5 h is the highest, which is 612 MPa, with an increment of 39.1%.
