This work is devoted to the study of the synthesis of various ternary intermetallic compounds based on aluminum in two alternative ways -self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) and mechanosynthesis (MS) and subsequent hot extrusion (HE) of pure aluminum powder mixtures as a matrix and the abovementioned TIM as a hardening additive. Mechanical tensile tests showed an increase in tensile strength by 3.3 -9.7% rel. (Except for one specimen, which stands out from the others) and an increase in microhardness by 9.3 -49.1%. The microstructure analysis shows a uniform distribution of hardening particles over the matrix volume, which indicates a high uniformity of the distribution of TIM based on aluminum in the aluminum matrix.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
