  1. Composite Materials

  2. Resistance Welding • Learning Activities • View Slides; • Read Notes, • Listen to lecture • Do on-line workbook • Lesson Objectives • When you finish this lesson you will understand: Keywords

  3. Matrix Materials • Magnesium • Lowest density (37% lighter than aluminum) • Aerospace applications • Creeps at low temp • Relatively low strength • Prone to variety of corrosion problems • Aluminum • Easy to process, inexpensive • Density only 35% of Steel • Can be alloyed to fairly high strengths • 57% stiffer than Magnesium • Excellent corrosion resistance • Most widely used material

  4. Matrix Materials • Titanium • Twice as strong as aerospace aluminum • 65% heavier than aluminum, but 65% stiffer • Temp & corrosion resistant = use in demanding environments • Copper, Iron, Nickel, Tungsten • Special use alloys • Electronic Circuits • Metal forming dies • Jet engines • Military applications

  5. Reinforcements • Other • Graphite (C) • Titanium Diboride (TiB2) • Ceramics • Silicon Carbide (SiC) • Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) • Titanium Carbide (TiC) • Boron Carbide (B4C) • Metal Filaments • Boron • Steel • Tungsten • Choice of matrix and reinforcement depends on: • Desired properties of composite • Compatibility between matrix and reinforcement • MMC Processing route

  6. Rule of Mixtures

  7. Designation for MMC Matrix + Reinforcement / Volume % Form • Matrix = metal or alloy designation of matrix • Reinforcement = chemical formula of reinforcement • Volume % = Volume percent without the % sign • Form = Form of the reinforcement • f, fiber or filament • c, chopped fiber • w, whisker • p, particulate Example: 6061 + SiC/20w

  10. Processing Methods Solid State Semi-solid Liquid

  11. Solid State Processing • Bonding of continuous fibers between metal foils to make panels • Aerospace Applications • Ti/Sic; Al/B Laminated Composite • Powder Metallurgy • Mix particles of matrix with reinforcement • Vacuum hot press (near solidus) • Extrude or roll • Al/B4C; Al/SiC

  12. Semi-Solid Processing Spray Deposition Chilled Plate ……….. MMC Build Up Flame Spray Matrix Flame Spray Reinforcement • Rheocasting • Mix reinforcement into matrix held between solidus and liquidus x
