“…With each of the phases within interpenetrating composites having the ability to contribute radically distinct characteristics, the approach evolves the nanoarchitecture of materials from a strategy focused to achieve certain lightweight characteristics to a broadly applicable concept to design novel multifunctional systems, which may exploit a variety of unique nanoscale properties. The compressive characteristics demonstrated here are highly beneficial for impact protection, damping, and tribological and abrasive systems ( 13 ). In synergy with their mechanical performance, IPCs can be designed to exhibit properties such as high-temperature stability, superior thermal shock resistance, and high electrochemical cyclability ( 13 , 54 ).…”

“…Novel nanoarchitected metal/ceramic IPCs may provide a pathway toward a host of unprecedented properties, with a potential application spectrum ranging from structural mechanics to thermal management and battery electrode materials ( 13 ). For this purpose, in particular, the investigated spinodal reinforcement architectures could be key.…”

“…Opposed to classical discontinuous particle, fiber, or lamellar reinforced composites, IPCs are composed of two or multiple solid phases, each forming completely interconnected selfsupporting 3D networks (12). Over the past two decades, extensive research on conventional (i.e., nonarchitected) metal/ceramic IPCs has demon strated the continuity of each constituent as key for multiple beneficial properties (13). Mechanically, the 3D interpenetrating structure is an efficient toughening strategy (14)(15)(16), preventing crack propagation along a path of least resistance, such as only within the weaker matrix phase.…”

Architected metals and ceramics with nanoscale cellular designs, e.g., nanolattices, are currently subject of extensive investigation. By harnessing extreme material size effects, nanolattices demonstrated classically inaccessible properties at low density, with exceptional potential for superior lightweight materials. This study expands the concept of nanoarchitecture to dense metal/ceramic composites, presenting co-continuous architectures of three-dimensional printed pyrolytic carbon shell reinforcements and electrodeposited nickel matrices. We demonstrate ductile compressive deformability with elongated ultrahigh strength plateaus, resulting in an extremely high combination of compressive strength and strain energy absorption. Simultaneously, property-to-weight ratios outperform those of lightweight nanolattices. Superior to cellular nanoarchitectures, interpenetrating nanocomposites may combine multiple size-dependent characteristics, whether mechanical or functional, which are radically antagonistic in existing materials. This provides a pathway toward previously unobtainable multifunctionality, extending far beyond lightweight structure applications.

“…In accordance with the structure, we can distinguish between composites with a ceramic and a metallic matrix. Depending on the ceramic matrix material applied and the type of metallic phase, ceramic–metal composites are widely used for industrial applications such as aerospace [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. The composites with the expected properties and microstructure may be obtained by using one of many different methods of fabrication such as powder metallurgy methods [ 7 , 8 ], in situ methods [ 9 ], methods based on the metal infiltration [ 10 ], electrophoretic deposition [ 11 ], or combination of isostatic pressing and sintering [ 12 ].…”

This study’s main goal was to obtain and characterize Al2O3-Cu-Ni composites with different metallic phase content. The study analyzed the three series of samples differing in the metallic phase 5, 10, 15 vol.% volume contents. An identical volume share of the metallic components in the metallic phase was used. Ceramic–metal composites were formed using uniaxial pressing and sintered at a temperature of 1400 °C. The microstructural investigation of the Al2O3-Cu-Ni composite and its properties involved scanning electron microscopes observations and X-ray diffraction. The size of the metallic phase in the ceramic matrix was performed using a stereological analysis. Microhardness analysis with fracture toughness measures was applied to estimate the mechanical properties of the prepared materials. Additionally, magnetic measurements were carried out, and the saturation magnetization was determined on the obtained magnetic hysteresis loops. The prepared samples, regardless of the content of the metallic phase in each series, were characterized by a density exceeding 95% of the theoretical density. The magnetic measurements exhibited that the fabricated composites had ferromagnetic properties due to nickel and nickel-rich phases. The hardness of the samples containing 5, 10, 15 vol.% metallic phases decreased with an increase in the metallic phase content, equal to 17.60 ± 0.96 GPa, 15.40 ± 0.81 GPa, 12.6 ± 0.36 GPa, respectively.

Numerical and Experimental Investigation on the Self‐Healing Potential of Interpenetrating Metal–Ceramic Composites

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

An interpenetrating metal ceramic composite (IMCC) has been investigated regarding the potential as well as the feasibility of self‐healing. Triggered by heating, cracks in the damaged composite located mainly in the Al2O3 ceramic or at the interface could be filled and closed by the liquid AlSi10Mg metal alloy. This healing procedure promises to reduce stress concentrations at crack tips and to improve the mechanical properties compared to the predamaged composite. Two different numerical approaches have been introduced to investigate this assumption and the potential of self‐healed IMCCs for a best case scenario: 1) A simple 2D model to analyze the reduction of stress concentrations in front of a crack tip within the ceramic due to healing and 2) a 3D model based on CT‐scan reconstructed microstructures to study how macroscopic mechanical properties can be restored depending on the amount of predamage. Further, the self‐healing approach has been investigated experimentally for the same composite. Despite the fact that experimental self‐healing of the investigated IMCC is only moderately feasible so far, the study shows the great potential that can still be exploited in order to extend the service life time of IMCC engineering components.
