| Abstract Scope |
Aluminum (Al) alloys are very demanding structural materials in transportation and construction sectors due to their lightweight nature, corrosion resistance, machinability, and recyclability. Enhancing their multifunctional capabilities, like localized magnetic properties, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength, is a challenge while keeping costs down. Friction stir-based processing and extrusion (FSP/E) can be an efficient solid-state metalworking technique by localized plastic deformation to develop fine-grained microstructures and highly refined metallic composites. Here, we study the multifunctional properties of Al alloys infused with hard magnetic SmCo5 powders using FSP/E. By controlling the concentration and distribution of magnetic particles, we can create a material with both permanent magnetic and enhanced mechanical properties in the paramagnetic Al matrix. We extensively investigate the microstructural evolution and shear-induced particle comminution using multi-length scale characterization tools such as X-ray diffraction and tomography, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and resulting magnetic properties with SQUID magnetometry and magnetic force microscopy. |
