Abstract
This study employed a composite method using TiB2-HfC dual-component additive to prepare AlMgB14 ceramic composite material. The morphology and phase composition of the AlMgB14 ceramic powder were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and an X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The phase evolution, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the sintered composite were investigated. The experimental results indicate that the AlMgB14-based composite sintered at 1450 °C exhibited excellent comprehensive properties, with a Vickers hardness of 25.3 GPa, a fracture toughness of 6.9 MPa·m1/2, a bending strength of 615 MPa, and a density of 3.22 g/cm3. Additionally, a solid solution second phase was observed in the AlMgB14 material. Through a dual-component synergistic composite strategy, this study enhanced the toughness of AlMgB14 material without significantly compromising other properties, providing a new design approach for the development of low-cost, high-performance AlMgB14-based composites.
期刊介绍:
Nanomaterials (ISSN 2076-4991) is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, and short notes that are relevant to any field of study that involves nanomaterials, with respect to their science and application. Thus, theoretical and experimental articles will be accepted, along with articles that deal with the synthesis and use of nanomaterials. Articles that synthesize information from multiple fields, and which place discoveries within a broader context, will be preferred. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental or methodical details, or both, must be provided for research articles. Computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. Nanomaterials is dedicated to a high scientific standard. All manuscripts undergo a rigorous reviewing process and decisions are based on the recommendations of independent reviewers.
