Abstract

Excellent features including high elastic modulus and thermal expansion coefficient associated with low weight and the ability to manufacture with conventional techniques were developed Aluminium composites reinforced with cremic particles at recent decades. In this work, Al2024/SiC composites with different SiC percentages (1,2,3%) were produced by Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) process. In order to produce composite samples 60% reduction rolling were applied to the samples firstly and then rolled strips cutted out into two parts and again subjected to 50% reduction for 3 passes. Mechanical properties of samples were investigated. Creep tests were done at temperature and stress range about 250-350°C and 30-40 MPa respectively. According to the results, Al2024+1%SiC composite had higher hardness degree than the other composites because of appropriate adhesion of raw strips together due to lower volume of SiC powder in this composite and acceptable consistency of particles into the matrix. Moreover, creep life of this sample was higher than the other. It is obvious that the creep life of All composites produced were several times less than the Al2024-T3 original raw sample.
