摘要
Homogeneous graphene dispersion and suitable interface bonding are two key challenges to realize the high strengthening potential of graphene in metal matrix composites (MMCs). In this study, graphene nanosheets (GNSs) with deposited nickel (Ni) nanoparticles were synthesized to simultaneously overcome the two challenges. Ni-coated-GNS-reinforced aluminum (Al) MMCs were fabricated by graphene synthesis, Ni decoration and subsequent powder metallurgy. It was revealed that Ni-coated GNSs exhibited noticeably enhanced strengthening effect compared with graphene reinforcements in most previous studies. With the addition of 1.5 wt% Ni-coated GNSs, the composites exhibited 132% higher strength than that of unreinforced aluminum. The enhancement in Vickers hardness and Young's modulus further confirmed the remarkable strengthening effect. The high strength and high Young's modulus were examined by strengthening models, and a comparison between experimental and theoretical values was reached. The main strengthening mechanisms in the Ni-coated GNSs/AI composites were clarified as dislocation-related ones.
