Abstract
The structural evolution and mechanical properties of an Al–Mg alloy were studied after multi-pass friction stir treatment (FST) with the addition of 5, 10, and 15 vol % iron powder. With an increasing number of FST passes, iron-containing particles are refined and more uniformly distributed within the aluminum matrix. Diffusion interactions between Al and Fe during FST lead to the formation of intermetallic compounds of the Al6Fe and Al13Fe4 types. The in-situ diffusion reaction between Al and Fe is not complete even after four FST passes, since iron particles encased in Al-Fe intermetallic compounds are still present in the mixing zone. After four-pass FST, a uniform distribution of intermetallic compounds of the Al6Fe and Al13Fe4 types was achieved in the mixing zones, which doubled the microhardness compared to the base alloy. The tensile strength of the composites also increases while reducing ductility.
期刊介绍:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research contains translations of research articles devoted to applied aspects of inorganic materials. Best articles are selected from four Russian periodicals: Materialovedenie, Perspektivnye Materialy, Fizika i Khimiya Obrabotki Materialov, and Voprosy Materialovedeniya and translated into English. The journal reports recent achievements in materials science: physical and chemical bases of materials science; effects of synergism in composite materials; computer simulations; creation of new materials (including carbon-based materials and ceramics, semiconductors, superconductors, composite materials, polymers, materials for nuclear engineering, materials for aircraft and space engineering, materials for quantum electronics, materials for electronics and optoelectronics, materials for nuclear and thermonuclear power engineering, radiation-hardened materials, materials for use in medicine, etc.); analytical techniques; structure–property relationships; nanostructures and nanotechnologies; advanced technologies; use of hydrogen in structural materials; and economic and environmental issues. The journal also considers engineering issues of materials processing with plasma, high-gradient crystallization, laser technology, and ultrasonic technology. Currently the journal does not accept direct submissions, but submissions to one of the source journals is possible.
