    Abstract:

    SiCp/6013Al composites with a uniform structure and good particle dispersion were prepared by ball milling, cold isostatic pressing, hot isostatic pressing and hot extrusion process. Using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and room temperature mechanical performance testing, the precipitation behavior and mechanical properties of 15% SiCp/6013Al composites under different artificial aging temperatures after solution treatment were studied. The results show that the precipitation behavior of the composites is controlled by thermal diffusion, and the precipitation accelerates when the temperature increases. The main strengthening phase of the composites is Mg2Si, while SiC particles can significantly enhance the strength of the composites, but also lead to a rapid decline in the plasticity of the composites. Compared with 6013 aluminum alloy matrix, 15% SiCp/6013Al composites can reach peak aging at a lower temperature and in a shorter time. After artificial aging treatment, the maximum hardness is 180 HV0.2 and the tensile strength is 522 MPa.
