Energetic-Particle Synthesis of Nanocomposite Al Alloys
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
lon implantation of O into Al and growth of Al(O) layers using electron-cyclotron resonance plasma and pulsed laser depositions produce composite alloys with a high density of nanometer-size oxide precipitates in an Al matrix. The precipitates impart high strength to the alloy and reduced adhesion during sliding contact, while electrical conductivity and ductility are retained. Implantation of N into Al produces similar microstructures and mechanical properties. The athermal energies of deposited atoms are a key factor in achieving these properties.
