Abstract
Herein, a novel additive friction extrusion deposition (AFED) solid state additive manufacturing technique was employed to fabricate nano-Al2O3/2009Al composite. The severe plastic deformation introduced by AFED led to a uniform dispersion of nano-Al2O3 and a significant grain refinement to less than 500 nm in average grain size due to the pinning effect of the dispersed nano-Al2O3 particles. As high as 78 % nano-Al2O3 particles were observed within the refined grains, rather than along the grain boundaries as previously reported. The unique microstructure with high proportion of intragranular nano-Al2O3 particles accumulated dislocations in grain interior, induced pronounced work hardening, thereby achieving high strength-ductility and relatively low yield strength to tensile strength ratio of 0.78 in the AFED Al2O3/2009Al composite.
期刊介绍:
Composites Communications (Compos. Commun.) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing short communications and letters on the latest advances in composites science and technology. With a rapid review and publication process, its goal is to disseminate new knowledge promptly within the composites community. The journal welcomes manuscripts presenting creative concepts and new findings in design, state-of-the-art approaches in processing, synthesis, characterization, and mechanics modeling. In addition to traditional fiber-/particulate-reinforced engineering composites, it encourages submissions on composites with exceptional physical, mechanical, and fracture properties, as well as those with unique functions and significant application potential. This includes biomimetic and bio-inspired composites for biomedical applications, functional nano-composites for thermal management and energy applications, and composites designed for extreme service environments.
