摘要
The mechanical properties and interface structure of fine-grained Al-Cu alloy and Al-Cu-Mg alloy composites, reinforced with Si3N4 whiskers (Si(3)N(4)w) and particles (Si(3)N(4)p), are investigated to reveal the role of magnesium addition in high-strain-rate superplasticity. The AI-Cu alloy composites, which exhibit lower elongations (<100%), have clear interfaces between the Al-matrix and Si3N4 crystals without any interfacial reaction. On the other hand, the interfaces in the Al-Cu-Mg alloy composites, which exhibit high elongations (>280%), show strong reaction between the Al-matrix and Si3N4 crystals. The result suggests that the addition of magnesium causes the reaction between the Al-matrix and Si3N4 crystals, and consequently that partially melting of the reaction phases at the tensile-testing temperature results in the relaxation of stress concentration and suppresses the development of microcracks and cavities at the interfaces during superplastic deformation.
