Abstract

Argon atomized Al-5,Mn-3 Si (wt %) powder has been extruded with and without 15 vol % added SiC particulate at 425°C and characterized both as extruded and after 100 and 1000 h at 425°C. As extruded matrix microstructure of discrete αAlMnSi particles of mean diameter 60 nm in an αAl matrix was similar to that for comparable melt-spun ribbon after 2 to 5 h at 425°C and coarsening of αAlMnSi in 100 and 1000 h at 425°C was also comparable. Hardness and proof strength of the matrix as extruded and their decrease on heat treatment matched predictions of a combined Orowan and Hall-Petch model as for the melt-spun condition. Initial hardness and tensile properties of the matrix were similar to those of extruded Al-Fe-V-Si with the same (∼15) vol per cent of silicide. Increment in Young's modulus of ∼30 GPa when SiC was present was similar to that for Al-Fe-V-Si/SiC MMC, while increments in strength and decrements in elongation to fracture were smaller for the Al-Mn-Si/SiC MMC.
