Using Different Powdered Carbon Forms for Reinforcing Aluminum Composite Materials with Carbon and Titanium Carbide: A Review

摘要: The use of both traditional powdered carbon materials (graphite, soot, charcoal, and shungite) novel nanomaterials (nanodiamonds, fullerene, nanotubes, graphene) as a dispersed reinforcing phase in aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) reagents for the synthesis particles titanium carbide (TiC) AMCs is considered. It noted that main direction AMC development to significantly improve mechanical properties consists transition from micron-sized nanoparticles, could play decisive role this case. necessary technologies producing such provide appropriate parameters their uniform distribution throughout matrix, strong adhesive interfacial bond with matrix. However, implementation these technological requirements great problem, since nanoparticles cannot be wetted by at temperature below 1000°C are prone formation agglomerates owing interparticle forces, magnitude which increases greatest extent decreasing particle size. An overview achievements unresolved issues forms different solid-phase liquid-phase methods manufacturing based on various techniques presented. shown potentialities using not still exhausted. Considerable attention paid self-propagating high-temperature (SHS) obtaining produce AMCs.
