CONTRERAS, A. e BEDOLLA, E.. Fabricación y caracterización de materiales compuestos de matriz metálica Al-Cu y Al-Mg reforzados con partículas de TiC. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2004, vol.50, n.5, pp.495-500. ISSN 0035-001X.
The pressureless melt infiltration of Al-Cu and Al-Mg alloys into particulate 56 vol. % TiC preforms was studied. The infiltration of aluminum alloys varying the Mg and Cu content was compared with the infiltration rate of pure aluminum and were carried out in a thermogravimetric analyzer. It was found that the infiltration rate of Al-Mgx increases as the magnesium content increases. On the contrary, infiltration rate of Al-Cux increases with decreasing copper content. For both systems the higher the temperature the faster the infiltration rate. Comparing the results at the infiltration temperature of 900°C, the infiltration rate was greater with the Al-Cux alloys than Al-Mgx alloys, but never was greater than pure Al. Moreover, the infiltration of pure magnesium into the preforms was faster than the Al-Mgx alloys. XRD studies of composites containing copper confirmed the formation of CuAl2 phase, the amount increasing with the Cu content in the composites. For the AlMgx matrix composites, no reaction phase was detected.
