RESUMO
A novel processing technology for the fabrication of particle reinforced metal matrix composites, powder thixoforming (PTF), was proposed and 6061 Al-based composites reinforced with 10% volume fractions of SiC particles (SiCp) were fabricated. The effects of processing parameters, such as reheating time, mould temperature and reheating temperature, on its microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. The results indicated that all the three processing parameters exerted a significant influence on the microstructure and mechanical properties. The behavior of SiCp changes with the processing parameters. The best comprehensive mechanical properties with an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 228 MPa, elongation of 5.3% and a Vickers hardness of 66.4 HV are obtained when the composite is thixoforged under the reheating temperature of 660 0C for 90 min and the mould temperature of 250 0C.
