Microstructure, Interface and Strengthening Mechanism of Ni-CNTs/AZ91 Magnesium Matrix Composites

Ni-CNTs/AZ91 magnesium matrix composites were fabricated by ultrasound treatment combined with a semi-solid stirred method for the first time. The agglomerated spherical Ni-CNTs transferred from spherical shape to clear tubular shape after pre-dispersion treatment. For the Ni-CNTs/AZ91 magnesium matrix composite prepared by semi-solid stirring followed by ultrasonic treatment, Ni-CNTs were evenly distributed in the magnesium matrix or wrapped on the β (Mg17Al12) phase. Mg2Ni were formed at the interface of the magnesium matrix and CNTs by in-situ reaction, which significantly improved the interface bonding strength of CNTs and the Mg matrix. The tensile strength and elongation of 1.0wt.% Ni-CNTs/AZ91 magnesium matrix composites were improved by 36% and 86%, respectively, compared with those of AZ91 matrix alloy. After Ni-CNTs were added to AZ91 matrix alloy, more dimples were observed at the fracture surface. The fracture behavior of Ni-CNTs/AZ91 composite was transformed from a cleavage fracture of AZ91 matrix alloy to a quasi-cleavage fracture. Meanwhile, the CNTs dispersed near the fracture showed a "pull-out" state, which would effectively bear and transfer loads. The strengthening mechanism of CNTs was also discussed.
