摘要
Reduction in the weight of engines forms a key element in improving the fuel efficiency of automobile engines. The use of Al as the engine material offers a viable option, but is limited by the poor wear resistance of the metal, especially in the cylinder bores. Laser induced surface modification of the cylinder bores, by the addition of second phase particles offers one such viable option. An attempt was made to produce in-situ nano/micron-sized particles of molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) in the laser melted zone of the Al (A-356 alloy) substrate. The in-situ formation of MoSi2 was conducted by adding a mixture of Mo and Si precursor powder layer followed by melting the layer and substrate under a laser beam. A partial mixing of the intermetallic layer with the substrate Al was obtained. The partial mixing with Al resulted in a ternary non-stoichiometric phase that improved the hardness and the ductility as compared to that of the pure intermetallic phase. The addition of 5 wt.% titanium to the precursor powders resulted in an increase in the fluidity of the intermetallic layer, thereby promoting better intermixing with the substrate Al.
