Abstract
The effect of high-pressure torsion (HPT) on the microstructure and the mechanical properties, especially the wear properties, of an Al-Si-Cu alloy (represented by Al-15%Si-2.5%Cu-0.5%Mg) and its composite, which was reinforced by SIC particles (Sic(p)) at a volume fraction of 5%, was investigated systematically in this study. The Al-Si-Cu/SiCp composite is produced in a powder metallurgy process followed by hot extrusion (EXTR) at 565 degrees C. The EXTR specimen is also subjected to HPT processing at an anvil rotation speed of 0.5 rpm under a quasi-hydrostatic pressure of 5 GPa.
