Abstract
A383 Al-Si-Cu alloy matrix composites were reinforced with different amounts (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 wt%) of chopped multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and fabricated using the oxygen-replacing die casting (ORDC) process to reduce gas porosities via the reaction of molten Al and O [...] Read more.
A383 Al-Si-Cu alloy matrix composites were reinforced with different amounts (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 wt%) of chopped multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and fabricated using the oxygen-replacing die casting (ORDC) process to reduce gas porosities via the reaction of molten Al and O2 replaced in the mold cavity. MWCNTs were added to the mold cavity by supplying O2 and using a poly gate in the ORDC mold to improve CNT dispersity in the matrix of the composite. Microstructure studies of the composites showed a uniform CNT distribution within the matrix and grain refinement. X-ray computed tomography images showed that the internal porosities were affected by the CNT addition amount and gate type used in the mold, and Raman spectroscopy analysis indicated that CNTs in the matrix were free of significant defects. The 1.0 wt% CNT-added composite cast using the poly gate showed the highest ultimate tensile strength of 258.5 ± 5.2 MPa and hardness of 157.9 ± 3.0 Hv; these values were, respectively, 21% and 30% higher than those of the monolithic A383 alloy, confirming the feasibility of fabricating the MWCNT-added A383 alloy composite with a poly gate using the ORDC process.
