Breakage mechanism of Al2O3 layer on nano Al powder by magnetic pulsed dynamic compaction
Magnetic Pulse Compaction (MPC), as a dynamic compaction, can be possible to reach higher relative density of nano metallic compacts owing to sufficiently high pressure and adiabatic heating in very short duration of an order of musec. The present work is concerned with the magnetic pulsed compaction of the nano-sized aluminum powders, which particle size was a range of 50 similar to 100 nm passivated in air. The compaction pressure was 1.5 GPa for 300 musec in the temperature range from 20degreesC to 500degreesC. The grain size of compacts was maintained less than 50 nm, which was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) using Scherrer method. From the calculation of adiabatic heat and of pressure induced by thermal expansion, and the observation by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), it was found that Al2O3 could be broken and dispersed with a few nano-meter sizes in the At matrix and that the ultra fine and uniform bulk structure was maintained up to 400degreesC of compaction temperature.
