چکیده

در این پژوهش، نمونه‌های کامپوزیتی Al-Mn+Al2O3+MnAl6 به روش ریخته‌گری گردابی با استفاده از مواد اولیه‌ی Al و MnO2 تولید شده و سپس ریزساختار و خواص مکانیکی آن مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته است. به این منظور نمونه مخلوط پودری Al و MnO2 به نسبت وزنی  در یک آسیا همگن سازی شده و به میزان 1، 3، 4 و 7 درصد وزنی به همراه 5 درصد وزنی منیزیم به عنوان عامل افزایش ترشوندگی، به آلومینیوم مذاب در حال تلاطم در دمای 900 درجه  سلسیوس افزوده شدند و در نهایت ریخته‌گری در قالب فولادی پیشگرم شده انجام گرفت. آنالیز حرارتی (DTA) روی مخلوط‌های پودری اولیه مورد نظر برای مطالعه واکنش آلومینوترمیک و دیگر واکنش‌ها و یا تغییرات فازی احتمالی، آنالیز XRD برای تعیین ترکیب فازی، مشاهدات میکروسکوپ الکترونی (SEM) و نوری به‌منظور بررسی ریزساختار و اندازه‌گیری خواص مکانیکی (سختی، استحکام و چقرمگی) نمونه‌های کامپوزیتی انجام گرفت. نتایج نشان می‌دهد که فاز‌های نهایی برای تمامی کامپوزیت‌ها، محلول جامد Al-Mn، آلومینا و ترکیب بین فلزی MnAl6 است، اما با افزایش درصد وزنی MnO2 ورودی به مذاب، مقدار ترکیب بین فلزی MnAl6 در کامپوزیت افزایش می‌یابد. همچنین یک مقدار بهینه از MnO2 وجود دارد که در آن خواص مکانیکی چون سختی و استحکام و چقرمگی در حد مطلوبی ایجاد می‌شود

چکیده [English]

In this research, the fabrication of in situ Al-Mn-Al2O3 composite samples from different composition of Al-MnO2 as starting materials have been made by stir casting method. For this purpose, a mixture of Al and MnO2 powders with weight ratio 1:7 was ball-milled. Then 1, 3, 4 and 7wt% of this mixture along with 5%wt Mg (to improve wettability) have been added to melted aluminum at 900 ° C . The disperstion of added materials in molten of Al was made by using graphite stirrer during 8 minutes. The molten of composite was casted into a preheated steel mold. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) was conducted on starting powder mixtures to study the aluminothermic reaction and the possible other reaction or phase changes. XRD analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to investigate the microstructure and phase composition of composite samples. The results show that the final phase composition for all composites is solid solution of Al-Mn, ceramic phase of alumina and MnAl6 intermetallic compound. The amount of MnAl6 and Al2O3 particles in composite samples were increased by adding higher quantity of MnO2 into molten of Al. Moreover there is an optimal amount of MnO2 in which haighest mechanical properties such as hardness, strength and toughness is obtained for composite samples.
