Abstract:
In the present research work, the effect of extrusion temperature from 480 to 560 °C on the microstructure and mechanical behavior of the SiCnw/2024Al composite (15 vol.%) has been explored. It has been found that extrusion at higher temperature (above 520 °C) was beneficial for the densification of the composite, while the residual average length and alignment of the SiC nanowires were also increased with the extrusion temperature. Moreover, higher extrusion temperature was helpful for the mechanical strength of the SiCnw/2024Al composite, and the peak-aged SiCnw/2024Al composite extruded at 560 °C revealed the highest strength (709.4 MPa) and elastic modulus (109.8 GPa).
