Abstract:The effect of particle size distribution of SiC particulate reinforcements coated with colloidal SiO 2 on Young´s modulus of Al/SiC p /MgAl 2 O 4 composites fabricated by reactive infiltration was investigated. Composites were prepared from porous preforms of silica-coated α-SiC powders of 10, 54, 86, and 146 μm, 0.6 volume fraction of reinforcements and particle size distribution from monomodal to cuatrimodal. Infiltration tests with the alloy Al-13.3Mg-1.8Si (wt. %) were carried out in Ar→N2 atmosphere at 11… Show more
