Abstract :
[en] This study is concerned with the solidification processing of aluminium alloys reinforced by short fibers and particles of SiC. The reinforcements have been introduced and dispersed into aluminium alloys melts by the vortex method. The commercial alloys (2024, 319) containing elements such as Cu or Mg chosen to provide adequate wetting have been used and compared. The samples have been examined both in the as-cast or as-rolled and heat treated conditions (T6). Examinations of the mechanical properties by statistical analyses show that both SiC chopped fibers and particles increase significantly the mechanical properties of the alloys especially at high temperature.
