Abstract
Particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composites were produced from powder mixtures of aluminum and silicon by using multiple passages of friction stir processing (FSP). In the composites, the Si particles with an average size of ∼1.5 μm are uniformly dispersed in the aluminum matrix which has a fine-grained structure (∼2 μm). The strengthening mechanism of the composites is discussed. It indicates that the fine grain size of aluminum, the Orowan strengthening due to intragranular particles and the dislocations generated by thermal mismatch all contribute significantly to the composite yield strength.
