Item Development and characterization of a 2024 aluminium alloy reinforced with TiC particulates produced by SHS(European Conference on Composite Materials, ECCM, 2012) Egizabal, P.; Merchan, M.; De Cortazar, M. Garcia; Torregaray, A.; Jimbert, P.; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; CIRMETALThe self propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) process has been used to produce titanium carbide (TiC) particulates that have been subsequently mixed with a 2024 aluminium alloy through the stir casting process. The incorporation of 1 wt.% of particulates provides an increase of the tensile strength. The results obtained in the metallurgical analysis and mechanical tests confirm that the presence of TiC particulates has a positive effect on mechanical properties through different mechanisms such as grain refining and reduction of porosity.Item Development of a 2.25%Cr steel P23 reinforced with micro/nano-carbide particles produced by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2017) Carsí, Manuel; Jimenez, Jose A.; Gomez-Mitxelena, Xabier; Ruano, Oscar A.; Sommitsch, Christof; Ionescu, Mihail; Mishra, Brajendra; Mishra, Brajendra; Kozeschnik, Ernst; Chandra, T.; EXTREMATIn the present work, 1 wt.% of (Ti,Nb)C carbide particles prepared by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) were introduced into a melt of a conventional P23 steel to obtain a reinforced material with improved creep properties. The as-cast material showed a eutectic type microstucture, indicating partial dissolution of these carbides in the melt. Inside the dendritic regions, a bainitic/martensitic structure similar to that of the unreinforced material was present. A significant refinement of the prior austenitic grain size was revealed in the reinforced material. Brinell hardeness measurements reveal an increase of hardness in the reinforeced material due to the addition of the carbides. High strain rate compression tests were perfomed at temperatures in the range 950 and 1250ºC to determine the optimum forming conditions. Stability maps for a wide range of temperatures and strain rates were drawn. The optimum temperature for the reinforced steel is about 77 K higher than for the non-reinforced steel.
