Abstract
SiC/Gr/ZL101 aluminum-based composites were prepared by semi-solid stirring and gravity pouring method. The effects of SiC/Gr with different volume fractions on the microstructure and property of aluminum-based composites were studied by means of microstructure observation, tensile test, fracture scanning analysis and damping capacity test. The results show that the primary phase α-Al of ZL101 alloy prepared by semi-solid stirring and gravity pouring method is fragmented dendrite, along with the rising SiC volume fractions, the tensile strength of the composites first increases and then decreases while its elongation gradually decreases, the maximum tensile strength of the material can reach 168 MPa, up to 16% than that of ZL101 alloy, the fracture morphology is obviously brittle fracture. They also show that the addition of SiC and Gr improves the damping capacity of ZL101 alloy, the internal dissipation Q-1 of the composites is obviously higher than that of matrix alloy and gradually increases along with the rising SiC volume fractions. The damping mechanism of the composites is mainly the combined effects of both dislocation damping and interfacial damping.
