摘要
This study investigates the mechanical properties of titanium carbide/aluminum metal matrix composites (AMMCs) using both experimental and computational methods. Through accumulative roll bonding (ARB) and cryorolling (CR) processes, AA1050 alloy surfaces were reinforced with TiCp particles to create the Al–TiCp composite. The experimental analysis shows significant improvements in tensile strength, yield strength, elastic modulus, and hardness. The finite element analysis (FEA) simulations, particularly the microstructural modeling of RVE−1 (the experimental case model), align closely with the experimental results observed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This validation underscores the accuracy of the computational models in predicting the mechanical behavior under identical experimental conditions. The simulated elastic modulus deviates by 5.49% from the experimental value, while the tensile strength shows a 6.81% difference. Additionally, the simulated yield strength indicates a 2.85% deviation. The simulation data provide insights into the microstructural behavior, stress distribution, and particle–matrix interactions, facilitating the design optimization for enhanced performance. The study also explores the influence of particle shapes and sizes through Representative Volume Element (RVE) models, highlighting nuanced effects on stress–strain behavior. The microstructural evolution is examined via transmission electron microscopy (TEM), revealing insights regarding grain refinement. These findings demonstrate the potential of Al–TiCp composites for lightweight applications.
