Introduction
As a commonly used high-strength aluminum alloy that can be heat-treated and strengthened, A356 aluminum alloy has the advantages of excellent casting performance, high specific strength, high wear resistance and low cost. Because of its excellent casting properties, it is widely used in some parts that require the high wear resistance of alloys. (Ref 1,2,3).
After decades of verification, the liquid casting method is the most economical method for preparing aluminum matrix composites. However, the aluminum-based composite material prepared by the liquid casting method has the disadvantage of uneven particle agglomeration distribution. In order to avoid this situation, the magnetic field stirring method, ultrasonic vibration method and semisolid stirring method can be used in the liquid casting process (Ref 4,5,6).
At present, the use of reinforced particles to prepare aluminum matrix composites is a standard method to enhance the properties of aluminum alloys (Ref 7,8,9,10,11,12). The in situ endogenous particles have attracted more and more attention due to the high degree of clean combination with the substrate (Ref 13,14,15,16,17,18). The most commonly used particle reinforcement materials in pure aluminum or alloys include SiC, ZrB2, TiB2, Al2O3 and Al3Zr (Ref 19,20,21,22). In previous studies, Mozammil et al. (Ref 23) prepared Al-4.5%Cu-xTiB2 (x = 3, 6, 9 ,and 12 wt.%) through in situ reaction and stirring casting technology for the first time, revealing the titanium/boron in aluminum-copper alloys the mechanism of phase evolution, especially the influence on its mechanical behavior. Zhang et al. (Ref 24) used the in situ magnetochemical method to prepare (Al2O3+Al3Zr)/A356 nanocomposites to study the effect of particle-matrix interface bonding on the mechanical properties of the composites. Qian (Ref 25) et al. used the in situ reaction method to prepare (ZrB2+TiB2)/6082Al and added the rare earth element Er to study the effect of the synergistic effect of the reinforcing particles and the rare earth element on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite material.
Similarly, many reinforcing phases can further enhance the friction and wear behavior of A356 aluminum alloy (Ref 26). Benyamin ABBASIPOUR and others (Ref 27) used melt stirring, rheological casting, stirring casting and composite casting techniques to prepare melt stirring, rheological casting, stirring casting and composite casting technologies to improve the wear resistance of A356 alloy. Janbozorgi et al. (Ref 28) has studied the effect of molybdenum disulfide lubricating particles on the friction and wear behavior of aluminum alloys.
Among many reinforcement particles, AlB2 reinforcement particles are used as effective nucleation sites for aluminum alloys (Ref 29,30,31), but there are few studies on them. The layered structure of AlB2, similar to graphite, may have a significant impact on optimizing the friction and wear behavior of A356. In this study, an in situ AlB2 particle-reinforced A356 aluminum alloy composite was prepared by developing a new A356-KBF4 system. And analyzed its microstructure to study its tribological behavior
Experimental Process
Preparation for Composites
xwt.% AlB2/A356(x = 3, 6, 9, 12) composite was prepared from industrial A356 alloy ingot and KBF4 inorganic salt powder. A356 alloy ingots and KBF4 inorganic salt powder were dried at 523K for 2h. A356 alloy ingot was melted and heated to 1143K in a resistance furnace, and then KBF4 inorganic salt powder was added. The graphite bell jar is used to press KBF4 inorganic salt powder into the melt to avoid flotation. The graphite rod was used for stirring and reaction for 30min, and then the slag was removed. When the melt temperature dropped to 993K, the melt was cast into the iron mold to obtain the AlB2/A356 composite material. The xwt.% AlB2/A356(x = 3, 6, 9, 12) composite was obtained by repeating the above experiment for four times.
Hardness Testing
The hardness test sample is a 10mm*10mm*10mm cube. Vickers hardness machine was used for hardness testing. Under the condition of pressure of 2 N, each sample was tested ten times to get the average of experimental results.
Tribological Behavior
The samples used 15mm*15mm*3mm cuboid made by SYJ-400 cutting machine. The friction and wear sample and Si3N4 are selected as the friction pair, and the friction and wear test of the sample is carried out by the HT-1000 friction and wear tester. The matrix A356 alloy and AlB2/A356 (x = 3, 6, 9, 12) composites were tested for friction and wear behaviors under 5, 10 and 15 N normal load and 200 rpm rotational speed for 30 min. Additionally, the matrix alloy and all composites were tested for friction and wear under 10 N load for 30 min. at rotational speeds of 250 and 300 rpm. Test wear scars are analyzed by LEXTOLS400 confocal laser scanning microscope. The experiment was carried out three times to get the experimental results. The wear rate (the volume worn under unit load per unit length) is calculated by formula (1).
Characterization
The metallographic sample is a cube of 10mm * 10mm * 10mm processed by the SYJ-400 cutting machine. The sample was sanded and polished with 1500-mesh sandpaper. The micro morphology of the material was analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM, Carl Zeiss Merlin, Germany) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Phase analysis was performed by x-ray diffraction (XRD, BRUKER D8 ADVANCE XRD, Germany), and the crystal grain morphology was observed by polarizing microscope (PC, LEICA ICC50 W, Germany).
Results and Discussion
XRD Analysis
Figure 1 shows the XRD pattern of A356 alloy and xwt.%AlB2/A356 composite material.
It can be clearly seen from the figure that the XRD pattern of xwt.% AlB2/A356 composite shows the diffraction peak of AlB2.In contrast, the XRD pattern of A356 does not show the diffraction peak of AlB2, indicating that AlB2 particles have been successfully synthesized. According to the literature, we have obtained the reaction equation of AlB2 (Ref 32) formation as:
The plane spacing between AlB2 and Al is obtained by MDI Jade 6 software. According to formula (3), the mismatch between AlB2 and Al matrix is calculated to be 3.76%, indicating that AlB2 particles have a specific refining effect on Al grains.
Microstructure Morphology
Figure 2 shows the scanned image and EDS energy spectrum of A356 composites with different contents of AlB2 particles. The marked area is the EDS scanning area. The results of EDS can once again verify the successful synthesis of AlB2 particles. From four SEM pictures, you can see different content AlB2 particles, and most of the AlB2 particles are mainly rod-shaped, and there are some square and hexagonal particles. It can be seen from Fig. 2(d) that when x = 12, the AlB2 particles have an obvious aggregation tendency compared to Fig. 2(a), (b), (c), which may have different effects on the performance of the composite material positive effect.
Figure 3 shows a polarization micrograph of A356 matrix and composite material. It can be clearly seen from Fig. 3 that the addition of AlB2 has a refining effect on Al grains. This may be because AlB2 particles can be used as effective nucleation sites for aluminum alloys and have a good refining effect on aluminum alloy grains. This is consistent with the low mismatch between AlB2 particles and Al. The grain size was measured with image pro plus 6.0 software, and the measurement results are plotted in Fig. 4. It can be seen from Fig. 4 that when x = 9, the grain size reaches the minimum value of 28.5847 μm, and when x = 12, the refinement effect becomes worse. This may be due to the excessive agglomeration of AlB2 particles, resulting in poor refinement effect. Figure 5 shows the Vickers hardness of different materials. The hardness change trend shown in Fig. 5 is basically the same as the material grain size change trend. When x = 9, the hardness of the composite material reaches the highest 213.4728Hv. This may be due to the fact that finer grains prevent the propagation of cracks and increase the hardness, which may also optimize the tribological behavior of the material.
Coefficient of Friction
The Effect of Load and Rotating Speed on Friction Coefficient
Figure 6 and 7 shows the variation curves of the friction coefficient of A356 alloy and xwt.% AlB2/A356 composite with load and speed, respectively. It can be seen from Fig. 6 and 7 that the addition of AlB2 particles has a certain anti-friction effect on the material. This may be due to the fact that AlB2 particles act as a buffer layer in the matrix. Under different loads and different speeds, as x increases from 3 to 12, the friction coefficient of the composite material is reduced by an average of 24.7522, 19.7487, 20.4625, 18.2248% (load), 18.682, 16.7896, 17.8286, 10.6755% (rotation speed) compared with the A356 alloy matrix. This indicates that in the friction test, the dispersion of AlB2 particles on the surface of the composite material has an important effect on the friction coefficient of the material. As the content of AlB2 particles increases, AlB2 particles tend to agglomerate, and the agglomeration of AlB2 particles results in a relatively rough surface of the composite material. This may be the reason for the best anti-friction effect when x = 3. It can be seen from Fig. 6 that as the load increases, the friction coefficient of the material shows a downward trend. It is assumed that as the load increases, the friction and wear mechanism changes from adhesive wear to abrasive wear, which reduces the friction strength and reduces the friction coefficient. It can be seen from Fig. 7 that as the speed increases, the friction coefficient curve becomes relatively unstable, and when the speed is as high as 300 rpm, the friction coefficient tends to increase. This may be because the increase in speed causes a lot of friction during the friction process. The frictional heat produces more oxides, which affects the indicated roughness. And the friction and wear mechanism becomes oxidative wear.
Effect of Load on Wear Rate
Figure 8 and 9 shows the wear volume and wear rate of xwt.% AlB2/A356 composite and A356 alloy under different loads. It can be seen from Fig. 8 and 9 that the amount of wear of all materials increases to a certain extent with the increase of load. Under the same load, the amount of wear and wear rate of the composite material added with AlB2 particles are lower than that of the A356 alloy. This shows that the addition of AlB2 particles significantly improves the wear resistance of the material. Under the same load, when x = 9, compared with A356 alloy, the wear rate of the composite material is reduced by 22.9671% (5 N), 31.2032% (10N) and 33.4922% (15N). The wear rate reflects the amount of wear under a unit load per unit length. It can be seen from Fig. 9 that almost all materials decrease as the load increases. As can be seen from Fig. 9, wear rates of almost all materials decrease with the increase of load. This shows that the amount of wear and load in the same time is not proportional to the relationship. It may be that during the wear process, the peeling material worn by the adhesive is welded to the material surface, and the wear rate is reduced. Figure 10 shows a scanning electron microscope analysis of the wear morphology of A356 alloy and 9wt.% AlB2/A356 composite under different loads. From Fig. 10 (a), b), (c), it can be clearly seen that there is a large peeling layer. This is because as the load increases, the cracks on the subsurface of the A356 alloy also increase, resulting in a large amount of peeling, and the main wear mechanism is adhesive wear. In Fig. 10 (e), (f), (g), the wear pattern of 9wt.% AlB2/A356 composite is flatter than that of A356 alloy. The obvious grooves and some small exfoliated layers indicate that the wear mechanism is mainly abrasive wear and slight adhesive wear.
Effect of Load on Wear Rate
Figure 11 and 12 shows the wear amount and wear rate of xwt.% AlB2/A356 composite and A356 alloy at different rotation speeds. Like the wear under different loads, the wear of all materials increases to a certain extent with the increase of the speed, and the wear of the composite material at the same speed is lower than that of the A356 alloy. Under different loads or different speeds, the addition of AlB2 particles is conducive to improving the wear resistance of the material. When x = 9, compared with A356 alloy, the wear of the composite material is reduced the most, reaching 31.2032% (200rpm), 27.2298% (250rpm), 28.4187% (300rpm). Unlike wear under different loads, as the speed increases, the wear rate of almost all materials increases. Figure.13 shows the wear morphology of A356 alloy and 9wt.% AlB2/A356 composite. It can be seen from Fig. 13(a), (b), (c) that the wear morphology of A356 alloy has severe subsurface fracture, and obvious oxides can be seen in the wear morphology. EDS energy spectrum analysis was performed on the wear form. It is not difficult to see that the oxygen content indicated by wear increases with the increase in speed. When the speed is increased to 300rpm, the main mechanism of A356 alloy wear is oxidative wear. This may be due to the high-speed generation of a large amount of frictional heat, which makes the A356 alloy more susceptible to oxidation. In Fig. 13(d), (e), (f), it can be seen that the wear of the 9wt.% AlB2/A356 composite shows no subsurface fracture. Some oxides and furrows indicate that the wear mechanism is oxidative wear and abrasive wear. It can be seen from the EDS energy spectrum that the oxygen content of the worn surface is not as high as that of the A356 alloy. This may be because (1): AlB2 refines the crystal grains of the matrix, so that the hardness of the material increases and hinders the surface of the material during wear. Fracture, (2) AlB2 particles may act as a buffer layer on the surface of the material, which makes the wear strength less than A356 alloy.
3D Confocal Analysis
Figure 14 and 15 shows 3D confocal observations of the wear surface of the composite material with an AlB2 mass fraction of 9% and the A356 matrix. It can be seen from Fig. 14 that under the condition of 15N, 200rpm, the wear scar depth of the material is reduced from 198.2 μm of the A356 matrix to 100.9 μm of the composite material, a reduction of 49.09%. It can be seen in Fig. 15 that under the condition of 10N, 300 rpm, the wear scar depth of the material is reduced from 267.2 μm of the A356 matrix to 165.8 μm of the composite material, a reduction of 37.94%. It can be seen that the friction and wear behavior of the composite material is greatly improved compared with the A356 matrix under the influence of load or speed.
The friction and wear model of the composite material is shown in Fig. 16. Due to the mechanical alloying mechanism, a mechanical mixing layer (MML) is formed on the worn surface. When a thin layer of MML with higher hardness is formed, the friction performance of the material can be improved. The MML formed by AlB2 can achieve this effect. It can be seen that when there are AlB2 particles in the friction material, the MML with micro-protrusions can reduce the friction contact surface, and even play a certain lubricating effect, so that the friction coefficient is reduced and stabilized. This is consistent with the change in the friction coefficient analyzed above, and once again proves that the AlB2 particles in the composite material can improve the friction performance of the material.
Conclusion
Through the in situ reaction of the new A356-KBF4 system, xwt.% AlB2/A356 (x = 3, 6, 9, 12) particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composites were obtained, and the following conclusions were drawn through data analysis:
-
(1)
XRD analysis and SEM analysis have confirmed that the new A356-KBF4 in situ system can prepare AlB2 particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composites. MDI Jade 6 software analysis and formula calculation have proved that AlB2 can be used as an effective nucleation site for aluminum alloy. Observed by polarized light microscope and analyzed by image pro plus software, it is concluded that when x = 9, AlB2 particles have the most obvious effect on the grain refinement of A356 alloy, and the grain size is reduced to an average of 28.5847μm.
-
(2)
Friction and wear tests were carried out on A356 alloy and xwt.% AlB2/A356 composite materials at different speeds and different loads. The test results show that the addition of AlB2 particles has the effect of reducing friction and enhancing the wear resistance of the material. When x = 3, the anti-friction effect is the most obvious reaching 24.7522% (load) and 18.682% (rotation speed), when x = 9 the wear resistance of the material reaches the highest level, with an average increase of 29.1974% (load) and 28.9505% relative to the matrix. And the wear mechanism of composite materials is mainly abrasive wear.
-
(3)
Through the 3D confocal observation of the wear surface morphology of the A356 matrix and the composite material, it is found that the wear scar depth of the composite material is much shallower than the wear scar depth of the A356 matrix. Under the condition of 15N, 200rpm, it is reduced by 49.09%. Under the condition of 10N, 300rpm, it is reduced by 37.94%. And by establishing a model to analyze the wear behavior mechanism of composite materials
