摘要
Al-15 wt.% Mg2Si composites were prepared by in situ casting and characterized in wear tests. Previous to the extrusion of specimens at 470 degrees C - varying extrusion ratio (7.4, 14.1 and 25), the as-cast composites were homogenized at 500 degrees C for 5 h, followed by slow furnace cooling. The microstructure, hardness and sliding wear behavior were characterized for both, the as-cast and hot extruded composites. Results show that increasing the extrusion ratio causes a significant improvement in hardness and wear resistance. This is ascribed to the observed decrease in average size and better distribution of Mg2Si particles, in tandem with a remarkable decrease in porosity percentages, which goes from 5.63 in the as-cast condition, to 0.47 at the extrusion ratio of 25. It was found that abrasion is the dominant wear mechanism in all extruded composites, whilst a combination of adhesion and delamination appears to be the governing mechanism for as-cast composites.
