Abstract

The compressive flow stress behaviour and microstructures of hot deformed Al alloy matrix composites (AMCs) reinforced with CuZnAlNi based shape memory alloy (SMA) particles was investigated. Al-Mg-Si based alloy, reinforced with 4, 6, and 8 wt.% Cu-18Zn-7Al-0.3Ni, and 8 wt.% SiC particles, were produced by double stir casting and subjected to hot compression testing at 1.0 s^-1 strain rate, 400 °C temperature, and ~ 60% constant global strain using a Gleeble 3500 thermomechanical simulator. The starting and as-deformed microstructures of the composites were examined using optical microscopy. The use of Cu-18Zn-7Al-0.3Ni particles as reinforcement resulted in the development of finer matrix structure compared with the use of SiC. The flow stress and hardness of the AMCs reinforced with Cu-18Zn-7Al-0.3Ni particles were generally higher than that of the unreinforced Al alloy and the SiC reinforced Al alloy. Also the flow stress, and to a large extent the hardness, increased with increase in the weight percent of Cu-18Zn-7Al-0.3Ni particles in the AMC. The improvement observed with the use of Cu-18Zn-7Al-0.3Ni alloy particles was ascribed to the combination of enhanced matrix grain refinement strengthening, interfacial strengthening, compressive residual stresses, high thermal conductivity, and damping capacity offered by the Cu-18Zn-7Al-0.3Ni alloy.
