Fabrication, Structure and Properties of Aluminum-Aluminide Layered Composites
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
The fabrication of aluminum-aluminide layered composites by reactive bonding of elemental Al and Ni foils was investigated. It was observed that after hot-pressing, thin Ni foils were converted to NiAl. The as-processed Al-NiAl layered structure could be heat-treated to produce an equilibrium Al-Al3Ni layered composite. Tensile tests revealed that composites could be produced that failed in a “tough” manner and were stronger and stiffer than aluminum.
