Microstructure characterization and quantitative analysis of copper alloy matrix composites reinforced with WC-xNi powders prepared by spontaneous infiltration

Abstract: In this study, copper alloy matrix composites reinforced with tungsten carbide (WC) particles with the addition of different Ni contents (0, 3, 5, 7, and 10 wt.%) were prepared by the spontaneous infiltration process. Image analysis was used to quantify the microstructural parameters, such as the particle size and distribution, area fraction, binder mean free path, and pore size. The effect of Ni addition on the microstructure, density and hardness are discussed. The results show that a small addition of Ni im… Show more

“…Many processing tech-niques have been developed to produce MMCs employing a variety of binder and reinforcement combinations [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Among these, a spontaneous infiltration process is widely used for making MMCs with a high volume fraction of reinforcements which offers many more advantages compared to those of other conventional manufacturing processes [13][14][15][16].…”

“…A different research direction of reinforcement for MMCs is the addition of nanocrystalline particles. Such Cu-based metal matrix composites have been extensively studied in recent years due to attained better properties than pure copper [17,18,19,20]. Cu-based composites with nano-Al 2 O 3 [21,22,23,24] are materials developed for wide range of applications.…”
