Synthesis of the Structure and Properties of Metal-Matrix Composites with the Imposition of Inductive Action

Currently, the development of modern industry, both domestic and foreign, requires the development of new materials with enhanced physical, mechanical and operational properties. This is due to the fact that the materials and technologies currently available have exhausted their potential to achieve the set goals. Of particular interest in this area are aluminum matrix composite materials (AMCM) with a reinforced heterophase structure of exogenous and/or endogenous origin. The main task of producing AMCM is to develop a material with new specified properties and characteristics. The development of such materials makes it possible to select the desired properties for a specific application. The use of technologies involving high-energy effects in the process of structure formation makes it possible to control the macro- and microstructure, strength and performance characteristics for products for diverse applications. The contemporary concept of effective management of material properties is based on the possibility of creating conditions that can significantly affect the processes of self-organization of structures. The article presents the results of a study of the possibility of obtaining a metal matrix composite material based on aluminum reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) particles under conditions of high-energy induction exposure through electromagnetic mixing. Electromagnetic mixing (EMM) is a promising method that allows achieving a high degree of uniformity in the distribution of reinforcing particles in a metal matrix. This technology uses the forces generated by the interaction of an alternating magnetic field with induced currents in the melt, which sets the metal melt in motion. This ensures uniform distribution of reinforcing particles throughout the volume of the composite material alloy, preventing their agglomeration and sedimentation. The influence of technological modes on the formation of the structure of the obtained aluminum-matrix composite material is shown.
