摘要

This study produced Al-319 matrix composites reinforced with 0.025 and 0.5% Ni-based nanostructured graphene (GNi), where the graphene was nanostructured with Ni using the Pechini method. The composites were sintered by mixing Al-319 burrs with GNi at 750 °C for 1 h under 100 mL/min flow of Ar. The resulting composite comprised an Al matrix with a series of Al4C3 particles and precipitates, which act as strengthening phases and were identified using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The 0.5% GNi content increased the elastic modulus (E) to 111.05 GPa with respect to the Al-319 alloy and the 0.025% GNi composite, as determined by nanoindentation. Furthermore, pin-on-disk wear tests under a 4 N load showed that the addition of 0.5% GNi reduced the volumetric loss to 0.72 mm3 compared with the 0.025% GNi sample, owing to the higher E and lubrication.
