Fabrication and densification enhancement of SiC-particulate-reinforced copper matrix composites prepared via the sinter-forging process
International Journal of Minerals, Metallurgy, and Materials(2014)
Abstract
The fabrication of copper (Cu) and copper matrix silicon carbide (Cu/SiC p ) particulate composites via the sinter-forging process was investigated. Sintering and sinter-forging processes were performed under an inert Ar atmosphere. The influence of sinter-forging time, temperature, and compressive stress on the relative density and hardness of the prepared samples was systematically investigated and subsequently compared with that of the samples prepared by the conventional sintering process. The relative density and hardness of the composites were enhanced when they were prepared by the sinter-forging process. The relative density values of all Cu/SiC p composite samples were observed to decrease with the increase in SiC content.
