摘要
In this study, the nano-aluminum powder was reinforced with a hybrid of copper and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). The ratios of GNPs were 0 wt%, 0.4 wt%, 0.6 wt%, 1.2 wt% and 1.8 wt%. To avoid the reaction between aluminum and graphene and, consequently, the formation of aluminum carbide, the GNP was first metalized with 5 wt% Ag and then coated with the predetermined 15 wt% Cu by the electroless coating process. In addition, the coating process was performed to improve the poor wettability between metal and ceramic. The Al/(GNPs-Ag)Cu nanocomposites with a high relative density of 99.9% were successfully prepared by the powder hot-pressing techniques. The effects of (GNPs/Ag) and Cu on the microstructure, density, hardness, and compressive strength of the Al-Cu nanocomposite were studied. As a result of agitating the GNPs during the cleaning and silver and Cu-plating, a homogeneous distribution was achieved. Some layers formed nano-tubes. The Al4C3 phase was not detected due to coating GNPs with Cu. The Cu9Al4 intermetallic was formed during the sintering process. The homogeneous dispersion of Cu and different ratios of GNs, good adhesion, and the formation of the new Cu9Al4 intermetallic improved in hardness. The pure aluminum sample recorded 216.2 HV, whereas Al/Cu reinforced with 1.8 GNs recorded 328.42 HV with a 51.9% increment. The compressive stress of graphene samples was improved upon increasing the GNPs contents. The Al-Cu/1.8 GNs sample recorded 266.99 MPa.
