摘要
SiC ceramic nanoparticles were incorporated into the A356 aluminum matrix with different compositions using a combination of stir casting and semisolid extrusion. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the produced nanocomposites were evaluated. The results showed that the presence of Nickel acts as an appropriate metallic carrier for SiC nanoparticles, which causes uniform dispersion and spherical grains. Consequently, the coexistence of SiC nanoparticles and Nickel resulted in UTS of above 304 MPa and elongation of 5.8%. However, the addition of Titanium caused the formation of flake-like intermetallics, which decreased the elongation of the nanocomposites. The method introduced in this study for the incorporation of SiC ceramic nanoparticles can be used as a promising process instead of conventional methods, which are expensive and time-consuming.
