Abstract: An alloy steel/alumina composite was successfully fabricated by pressureless infiltration of X10CrNil8-8 steel melt on 30% (mass fraction) Ni-containing alumina based composite ceramic (Ni/Al2O3) at 1 600 ℃. The infiltration quality and interfacial bonding behavior were investigated by SEM, EDS, XRD and tensile tests. The results show that there is an obvious interfacial reaction layer between the alloying steel and the Ni/Al2O3 composite ceramic. The interfacial reactive products are (FexAly)3O4 intermetallic phase and (AlxCry)2O3 solid solution. The interracial bonding strength is as high as about 67.5 MPa. The bonding mechanism of X10CrNi 18-8 steel with the composite ceramic is that Ni inside the ceramic bodies dissolves into the alloy melt and transforms into liquid channels, consequently inducing the steel melt infiltrating and filling in the pores and the liquid channels. Moreover, the metallurgical bonding and interfacial reactive bonding also play a key role on the stability of the bonding interface.

Warm compaction was employed to fabricate a Ti3SiC2 particulate reinforced copper matrix composite for electro-friction application. Copper matrix composite reinforced with 5wt% of copper-coated Ti3SiC2 particulates were prepared by compacting mixed powder with a pressure of 700 MPa at 145 ℃, and then sintered at 1000 ℃ under cracked ammonia atmosphere for 60 min. In order to improve the density, rolling process was applied on the sintered samples, their density, hardness, electrical conductivity, ultimate tensile strength and tribological behaviors were studied. Results showed that the rolled composite with 30% deformation has a density of 8.28 g/cm3, a hardness of 1060 MPa (HB), an ultimate tensile strength of 288 MPa, an electrical resistivity of 7.0 ×10-8 Ω·m and a friction coefficient of 0.17.

Semi-solid powder rolling is a strip manufacturing process, which combines powder rolling with semi-solid rolling in one step to prepare high-performance metallic strips. A total of 7050 aluminum alloy strips were prepared by semi-solid powder rolling and then used to study the post-treatment process and evaluate qualities of post-treated *** post-treatment processes involving sintering, pre-sintering-cold deformation-sintering, and hot rolling were used to process the semi-solid powder rolled strips. The results show that both swelling of pores and densification occur during solid-state sintering while microhardness increases. The decrease in density is due to that the swelling of pores has a larger effect on the density change than that of densification. The relative density reaches 92.6% with the maximum microhardness of 300 HV after ''pre-sintering-cold deformation-sintering'' process. High microhardness is due to the ultrafine secondary particles uniformly distributed within the grains. The microhardness and relative density of a hot rolled strip are 176 HV and 99%, respectively, and the secondary particles disappear. Occurrence of recrystallization in these three post-treatment processes makes the grains finer.
