Synthesis and characterization of the graphene-reinforced Al–Ni system by means of high and low energy mechanical alloying
摘要
This work is dedicated to the study of the synthesis process of one metal matrix composite, which is composed by the Al–Ni system reinforced with graphene through a mecanosintesis and sintering process. The grinding times were used are 3 h at high energy, and 96 h at low energy, with a sintering temperature of 550 °C. The results showed that grinding allowed a large homogenous dispersion of the Al–Ni matrix reinforcing material in this way to allow a new Al–Ni. Graphene composite, The composite with the best performance, in terms of better mechanical properties, was obtained for the alloy: 99%Al0.9%NI0.1%G) at low energy with a temperature of 550 °C and the alloy (99%Al0. 96Ni0.04G) at high energy, which showed low porosity, uniformly distributed reinforcing material and a strong bond between graphene and the Al–Ni matrix. The results shown here was obtained from: DRX, Optical microscopy and Microhardness in Vickers scale.
