Abstract

Aluminum-bronze/steel duplex metal has been prepared by aluminum-bronze powder whose compact oxide film was removed by dilute HCl solution before sintering. Scanning electronic microscope (SEM), energy spectrum analysis (EDS), density measurement and compression shear strength test were used to investigate the structure, composition, relative density and bond strength of aluminum-bronze/steel duplex metal. The results show: liquid phase could wet the aluminum-bronze powder washed by acid, improve sintering activity of the powder and increase bond strength of aluminum-bronze/steel interface. The relative density of sintered aluminum-bronze is 99.6%, and shear strength of aluminum-bronze/steel interface is 132.6MPa.
