本研究的主旨是利用孟宗竹製備多孔碳化矽,再滲透2024 鋁合 金和金屬銅,形成陶瓷/金屬複合材料。首先將竹材在Ar 氣氛中經過 碳化處理後,使竹材轉化為竹碳,隨後再添加適當的矽源,形成具有 竹材結構的多孔性碳化矽陶瓷材料。在高溫及保護氣氛下,使熔融的 金屬熔湯藉由毛細管作用,滲透入多孔碳化矽中,以形成一陶瓷/金 屬複合材料。 在滲鋁的試片中,由XRD的結果發現,滲透溫度達900℃時才有 明顯鋁合金的滲透,且在滲透溫度為1050℃時材料內部有Al4C3相生 成,因此適當滲透溫度應為900℃。由阿基米德法測量試片密度,結 果顯示在滲透過程中,滲透量隨著滲透時間的增加而增加。在持溫時 間為8 小時,其Bulk density可達2.0 g/cm3,而Open porosity為13%。 另外,其微硬度平均值可達87.3 kg / mm2。 試片滲透金屬銅時,在1100℃有相當量的金屬銅滲透,且隨著 溫度的提升而增加。當滲透溫度為1300℃時其Bulk density可達4.9 g/cm3,而Open porosity僅剩約2%。 另外,其微硬度平均值可達114.5 kg / mm2。且試片在經1300℃滲透金屬銅後,其抗壓強度有明顯的增 加。
The purpose of this research is to fabricate porous silicon carbide from bamboo , and then to infiltrate 2024 aluminum alloy and copper to form ceramic / metal composites . The bamboo was first transformed into porous charcoal by carbonization in argon atmosphere . Proper proportion of Si was then reacted with porous charcoal to form porous SiC ceramic . Finally , under high temperature and inert atmosphere, melting metal ( Al-alloy and Cu ) were infiltrated into porous SiC by capillary force . In the case of infiltrating Al alloy for 4 hr , Al alloy was found inside the sample only when infiltrating temperatures were ≧900℃ . However , Al4C3 was formed if temperatures was 1050℃ . So 900℃ appeared to be a suitable temperature to infiltrate Al alloy . The amount of infiltrated Al-alloy increased as infiltration time increased . After infiltration at 900℃ for 8 hr , the bulk density of the sample reached 2.0 g/cm3 , and the open porosity was 13% . The average of micro-hardness reached 87.3 kg / mm2 . In the case of infiltrating Cu for 4hr , significant amount of Cu was infiltrated in the sample at 1100℃ . The amount of infiltrated Cu increased as infiltration time increased . After infiltration at 1300℃ for 4 hr , the bulk density of the sample reached 4.9 g/cm3 , and the open porosity was 2% . The average of micro-hardness reached 114.5 kg / mm2 . After infiltration at 1300℃ for 4 hr , the compression strength of the sample greatly increase due to the load bearing of Cu .
