Development of Metal Matrix Composites Reinforced with Non-agglomerated Nanodiamonds | Chapter 02 | Current Research in Science and Technology Vol. 2
This paper addresses the production of
metal matrix nanocomposites with non-agglomerated reinforcing nanodiamond
particles. The main method of producing nanocomposites is mechanical alloying.
Based on an investigation of this ball milling process with the use of a
mixture of different colored copper and brass particles, appropriate
technological conditions of the treatment are determined. It is shown that an
increased volume fraction of nanodiamonds inside copper matrix under some
regimes can lead to enhanced oxidation of the matrix. The technological
conditions are established to allow for the production of composites with
non-agglomerated uniformly-distributed nanodiamond reinforcing particles
without any oxidation. It is possible to use copper matrix composites as bulk
and for the development of electrochemical composite coatings. For aluminum
matrix composites, differential scanning calorimetry have shown that the
reaction between the components to produce aluminum carbide starts at 400-450°C
(for macromaterials, such reaction starts at 1200°C). It is shown that
nanodiamonds could be efficient in reinforcing particles in composite materials
in workable temperature interval.
