Abstract

M40 graphite fibre reinforced Al-17Mg matrix composites with different neodymium (Nd) content (Al-17Mg, Al-17Mg-0.2Nd, Al-17Mg-0.5Nd and Al-17Mg-2Nd) were fabricated by pressure infiltration method. Microstructure of Gr_f/Al composites was investigated by XRD, SEM, TEM and HRTEM. Effect of Nd on microstructure and mechanical properties of Gr_f/Al composites were deeply discussed. Al₃Mg₂ and Al₁₁Nd₃ phases followed by segregation of Nd and Mg at carbon-aluminum interface were detected in composites containing Nd. The size and amount of Al₄C₃ phase were increased with Nd content. Bending strength of Gr_f/Al composites were decreased sharply from 1463MPa (Gr_f/Al-17Mg) to 791MPa (Gr_f/Al-17Mg-2Nd) after the addition of Nd. The increased Nd content decreased the pull-out of single fibre and bundles, which was due to the high interfacial bonding strength with formation of Al₄C₃, Al₃Mg₂, Al₁₁Nd₃ phases and the transition layer.
