摘要

SiC/Al composite particles with core–shell structure were prepared by high-energy ball milling and applied to the stir–casting process, aiming to overcome the key problem of poor wettability between SiC particles and aluminum melt. The influence mechanism of ball-milling parameters on the morphology and structure of composite particles was explored, and the role of composite particles in reducing the introducing difficulty of SiC particles in different ball-milling stages was compared and analyzed. The results show that forming composite particles requires a rotation speed exceeding 300 rpm, and that the particle size increases with milling time and subsequently stabilizes. After 15 h of ball milling, the system reached a steady state in which the SiC is uniformly dispersed and bonded to the matrix. Using these 15-h-milled particles in stir casting yielded an actual SiC mass fraction of 2.87 wt%, 1.7 and 18 times higher than those obtained with 6-h-milled and unmilled SiC, respectively. Microscopy revealed an intimate SiC/Al interface with a continuous transition reaction layer.
