Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carbon fiber-reinforced aluminum composite material in which the dispersibility of carbon fiber is improved, and whose mechanical strength is improved, and to provide a method for producing the same. SOLUTION: At first, in a mixing stage, aluminum or aluminum alloy particles and plated carbon fiber in which nickel or a nickel alloy is plated are dispersedly mixed. Each aluminum or aluminum alloy particle has the average particle diameter of 0.1 to 10 mm, and the plated carbon fiber has an aspect ratio of 0.1 to 100,000 and a fiber diameter of 0.1 to 30 μm. The mixture obtained in this way is sintered in a sintering stage, so as to obtain the carbon fiber-reinforced aluminum composite material. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metal composite material in which performances such as strength are improved by preventing the reaction between element components in a base metal and short ceramic fibers, and to provide its production method. SOLUTION: As to the preform in this invention, a film of magnesium or a magnesium alloy is formed on the surfaces of ceramics particles, ceramics fibers or ceramics whiskers. Further, as to the metal composite material in this invention, at least one kind of metallic continuous phase selected from the groups consisting of aluminum, an Al-Si, an Al-Cu, an Al-Mg, an Al-Si-Cu and an Al-Si-Mg composite is present in the gaps of the porous preform.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metal-carbon fiber composite material which does not produce Al4C3 even in the case a matrix is an aluminum alloy or has uniform dispersion of the aluminum alloy, and this producing method. SOLUTION: In the metal-carbon fiber composite material forming a preform with the carbon fiber and permeating the metal into this preform, the carbon fiber is the one coating the ceramic layer on the surface and the permeated metal is the aluminum alloy.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain the improvement of thermal conductivity and lightening in a carbon fiber composite metal material while securing its strength. SOLUTION: In the carbon fiber composite metal material 1, first carbon fibers 3A and second carbon fibers 3B are arranged in a mother phase metal 2. The first carbon fibers 3A and the second carbon fibers 3B are arranged in the mother phase metal 2 in such a manner that the elongation direction of the fibers is made uniform in one direction. Further, the diameter of the first carbon fibers 3A is set so as to be larger than that of the second carbon fibers 3B. Each surface of the first carbon fibers 3A and second carbon fibers 3B is plated with a metal composing the mother phase metal 2, and thereafter, a plurality of the first carbon fibers 3A and second carbon fibers 3B whose surface is coated with the above metal, respectively are bundled, and are sintered. Thus, the carbon fiber composite metal material 1 can be obtained. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method in which the time for kneading to be performed accompanying the addition of reinforcements can be shortened. SOLUTION: In (a) in the figure, a mixture 13 having such a form that an Mg material is dusted with an indefinitely large number of carbon nanomaterials is prepared, and also a mixture 13B or a mixture 13C having such a form that an Al-Mn alloy material 12B or a Zn material 12C is dusted with an indefinitely large number of carbon nanomaterials 11 is prepared. In (b) in the figure, the mixture 13, the mixture 13B and the mixture 13C are simultaneously or successively put into melting furnace 20 having a heating means 21 to undergo melting. A molten metal 22 of a composite metal alloy can hereby be obtained. In the melting step, the metallic materials are completely formed into molten state. If the molten metal is in a molten state, the carbon nanomaterials can be dispersed in the molten metal more rapidly than in the case of the molten metal in a semi-molten state.
