Fabrication of Aluminum-Ceramic Composites with TiC-Ni Skeleton by SHS Pressing Method

Abstract:

One-stage technology of obtaining aluminum-ceramic skeleton composites by combining the processes of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) of the porous skeleton and its infiltration under pressure with molten aluminum (method SHS-pressing) was considered. Experimental study of the effect of the pressure of infiltration on the distribution of the content of aluminum over the height and radius of the disk-shaped sample with SHS skeleton made of a cermet of TiC-Ni was performed. Mechanisms of the formation of structure and properties of the composite depending on the infiltration pressure were described.
