Abstract:
The present invention relates to the fabrication of low cost, in situ, porous metallic, ceramic and cermet foam structures having improved mechanical properties such as energy absorption and specific stiffness. Methods of fabricating the structures from compositions including ceramic and/or metallic powders are provided. The flowable compositions also include an immiscible phase that results in pores within the final structure. Furthermore, the structures may be shaped to have external porosity, such as with mesh-like structures.
Abstract:
A cemented carbide comprises a binder phase consisting essentially of an iron family metal, a first hard phase consisting essentially of WC having a hexagonal crystal structure, and a second hard phase consisting essentially of one or more types of a compound of a metal or metals of group 4, 5 or 6 of the periodic table having an NaCl-type cubic crystal structure. The cemented carbide is formed by a surface region with a thickness of 2 to 50 μm consisting of the binder phase and the first hard phase, and an inner region present underneath the surface region consisting of the binder phase, the first hard phase and the second hard phase. A ratio of an average grain size of the first hard phase in the surface region to an average grain size of the first hard phase in the inner region is 1 or less, and a ratio of an area of the binder phase in the surface region to an area of the binder phase in the inner region is greater than 1.

Abstract:
Often, metal matrix composites (MMC's) lack adequate machinability and possess excessive abrasiveness because hard ceramic materials, such as silicon carbide, are used as the reinforcement phase. To make a metal matrix composite body having a more machinable and less abrasive surface, an MMC comprising an aluminum nitride reinforcement is formed on the surface of the body. In one embodiment, a layer is provided to a permeable mass or preform at the surface at issue, the layer featuring at least a reduced loading of ceramic filler material, and sometimes no ceramic material at all. The reduced loading is achieved by incorporating a fugitive material into the coating layer. Molten matrix metal is caused to infiltrate the permeable mass or preform and the coating layer to produce a macrocomposite body comprising a metal matrix composite coating and substrate. The metal matrix composite coating layer is distinguishable from the metal matrix composite substrate material, both compositionally and in terms of resulting properties. Under spontaneous infiltration conditions, as defined herein, aluminum nitride forms in-situ in the infiltrated body, including the surface layer. The present coating technique, however, permits a thicker MMC surface layer to be produced than could be produced previously. The present MMC surface layer can be applied to virtually any reinforced or unreinforced aluminum or aluminum alloy body.
Abstract:
Described is a process for producing sintered parts from an aluminum sintering mixture, wherein between 10 and 70% by weight of pure aluminum powder and between 30 and 90% by weight of an aluminum alloy powder are mixed to form an aluminum sintering mixture. The aluminum alloy powder is of the following composition: between 14 and 35% by weight of Si; between 1 and 7% by weight of Cu; between 0.3 and 2.5% by weight of Mg; between 0.3 and 6% by weight of a transition metal, the balance aluminum. The pure alloy powder and the aluminum alloy powder are each of a grain size of a maximum of 315 &mgr;m. The aluminum sintering mixture is mixed with between 0.5 and 2% by weight of compacting additive. The mix of alloy sintering mixture and compacting additive is compacted to form a green compact. The green compact is then sintered. As no low-melting phases occur in the invention, sintered bodies which are stable in respect of shape are reproducibly obtained in the sintering operation.
