Al/B₄C Laminated Composite Fabricated by Powder Metallurgy Process and its Mechanical Property

Abstract:

A new type of laminated composite with B4C particle reinforced Al matrix composites as its inner layer and metal Al as outer layer was fabricated by powder metallurgy process. The effects of sintering time on the density and the mechanical properties of Al/B4C laminated composites were investigated. In the inner layer, Vicker’s hardness was enhanced with the addition of B4C. With the extension of sintering time from 2h to 4h at 300°C, aggregation of B4C particles reduced, while the density and Vicker’s hardness improved.
