Hybrid Comopsites Shaped by Casting Methods

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the presented work two methods of casting: gravity casting and centrifugal casting have been described. The main aim of the study was development procedures for producing the AlSi / SiC+C hybrid composite. Composite suspensions with the same phase composition were cast into molds with different coefficients of thermal conductivity. This allowed to determine the influence of thermal conditions on the formation of the structure and distribution of particles in the matrix. In the paper the conditions of casting, macro-and microstructure and selected properties of the casts have been presented. The structure of components and cast composites was examined by light and electron microscope, applying properly made preparations.
