Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) on Cu–TiB2 composites, focusing on microstructural and mechanical properties. ECAP was performed at room temperature, 200, and 500 °C on Cu-based composites with varying TiB2 contents of 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10%. Pure Cu and TiB2 powders were mixed by high-energy ball milling and processed via ECAP. Microstructural analysis through optical microscopy, field emission gun–scanning electron microscope (FEG-SEM), and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) showed uniform TiB2 particle distribution in the Cu matrix with minimal deformation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and crystallographic texture were linked with microstructural changes to work-hardening behavior. ECAP significantly reduced Cu grain size and improved composite hardness, with greater TiB2 content and higher processing temperatures enhancing microhardness. Adding TiB2 to Cu enhances mechanical properties, especially at elevated temperatures. ECAP processing of Cu–TiB2 composites at varying temperatures results in uniform TiB2 distribution. Higher consolidation temperatures also led to increased ductility and shear deformation. The findings suggest ECAP is effective for creating ultrafine-grained Cu–TiB2 composites with superior mechanical properties. The Cu–TiB2 composites with different percentages of reinforcements (TiB2) and processing temperatures were compared in terms of their hardness, strength, wear resistance and microstructures. The changes in crystallographic texture improvised by the temperature and size of TiB2 particles have also been studied.

增强和加工温度对等通道角挤压Cu-TiB2复合材料组织和织构演变的影响
本文研究了等通道角挤压(ECAP)对Cu-TiB2复合材料的影响,重点研究了其显微组织和力学性能。分别在室温、200和500℃下对TiB2含量分别为2.5、5、7.5和10%的cu基复合材料进行ECAP。采用高能球磨混合纯Cu和TiB2粉末,经ECAP处理。通过光学显微镜、场发射枪扫描电镜(fg - sem)和电子背散射衍射(EBSD)等分析表明,TiB2颗粒在Cu基体中分布均匀,变形最小。x射线衍射(XRD)和晶体织构与微观组织变化和加工硬化行为有关。ECAP显著降低了Cu晶粒尺寸,提高了复合材料硬度,TiB2含量的增加和加工温度的升高提高了显微硬度。在Cu中加入TiB2可以提高机械性能,特别是在高温下。Cu-TiB2复合材料在不同温度下的ECAP处理使TiB2分布均匀。较高的固结温度也会导致延性和剪切变形的增加。研究结果表明,ECAP可有效制备具有优异力学性能的超细晶Cu-TiB2复合材料。比较了不同增强剂(TiB2)含量和加工温度对Cu-TiB2复合材料硬度、强度、耐磨性和显微组织的影响。本文还研究了TiB2颗粒的温度和尺寸对晶体结构的影响。

期刊介绍: Metals and Materials International publishes original papers and occasional critical reviews on all aspects of research and technology in materials engineering: physical metallurgy, materials science, and processing of metals and other materials. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the science of materials that are concerned with the relationships among the processing, structure and properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, electrochemical, magnetic and optical) of materials. Aspects of processing include the melting, casting, and fabrication with the thermodynamics, kinetics and modeling.
