Abstract:
This study addresses the enhancement of thermal stability of zinc alloys, which commonly experience reduced mechanical performance beyond 100 degrees C. The 304 stainless steel wires (SSWs) were utilized to fabricate a 3D porous metal rubber (MR) skeleton, facilitating the infusion of molten zinc alloys (ZA8) via squeeze casting to prepare MR/ZA8 composites. The impact of varying SSW volume fractions on the static compression creep (SCC) behavior of the MR/ZA8 composites at 250 degrees C was investigated, while exploring their SCC failure mechanisms. Energy dispersive spectrometer was used to analyze the MR/ZA8 composites both before and after the creep experiments. Findings revealed that in comparison to ZA8, MR/ZA8 composites exhibited notably lower SCC strain, diminishing with the increased SSW volume fraction. Under the applied stresses of 12 MPa, 17 MPa and 20.4 MPa, the steady-state SCC rate of MR/ZA8 composites experienced a reduction of 1 order of magnitude compared to ZA8. The apparent stress exponent n value ranged from 3.37 to 4.84, indicating a SCC mechanism dominated by dislocation climb within the two materials. The elemental composition of the MR/ZA8 composites remained largely unchanged, and the MR skeleton in the MR/ZA8 did not undergo oxidation.
