Abstract
The key to restrict the engineering application of high - strength B4 C / Al composites is corrosion, and adding trace alloying elements is an effective measure to improve corrosion resistance. In this work, the B4 C / 7075 and B4 C / 7075 - 0.15Sc - 0.35Zr composite containing trace Sc and Zr elements were prepared by pressure infiltration. The influence of combined addition of Sc and Zr on microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of B4 C / 7075 composites was investigated by using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, bending performance testing, tensile performance testing, neutral salt spray testing and electrochemical testing. Results showed that adding Sc and Zr elements to B4 C / 7075 composites, the higher bending strength and tensile strength values were obtained in B4 C / 7075 - 0.15Sc -0.35Zr. In addition, the corrosion rate and the corrosion current (Jcorr ) decreased, indicating that the corrosion resistance of B4 C / Al composite increased, which might be caused by that the grain boundary precipitates in the composite material were small and discontinuous after adding Sc and Zr elements, and the precipitate free zone (PFZ) disappeared.
