A Novel Extrusion for Manufacturing TiBw/Ti6Al4V Composite Tubes with a Quasi-Continuous Reinforced Structure.

ABSTRACT: The present work introduces a novel extrusion with filler material to produce the high-performance TiBw/Ti-6Al-4V composite tube with a quasi-continuous reinforced structure. A simulation was adopted to study the effect of the filler material on the shape accuracy of the tubes. Based on the simulation results, the flow stress of the filler material was not the important factor, but the friction coefficient between the filler and TiBw/Ti-6Al-4V composite and the canning shape were critical to the tube precision. The microstructure and mechanical performance for the as-extruded TiBw/Ti-6Al-4V composite tubes were systematically investigated. After extrusion, the transverse section microstructure of the TiBw/Ti6Al4V composite tube remained quasi-continuous and the TiBw were rotated to align the extrusion direction. Moreover, the tensile strength and elongation reached 1240 MPa and 13.5%, resulting from dynamic recrystallization and whisker rotation.

Project description:The automotive sector is actively pursuing a lightweighting strategy as a means to urgently decrease greenhouse gas emissions, which are a significant driver of climate change. The development of lightweight composite structures has been identified as crucial for enhancing part performance while mitigating negative environmental impacts and adopting energy-efficient manufacturing methods. This comprehensive study aimed to decrease the main reinforcement content of talc in commercial compounds while integrating graphene derived from waste polypropylene (PP) grown on talc and graphene nanoplatelet obtained from waste tires by upcycling processes into the PP compound. The entire value chain of interior automotive part production, from compound development and scaling up with a high-shear mixer, to injection molding of the part and performance tests, was investigated with a focus on sustainability considerations. The successful integration of 4 wt % micron talc, together with 1 wt % graphene nanoparticles and 1 wt % hybrid additive into the blended HomoPP/CopoPP matrix resulted in a 10% weight reduction compared to the conventional part. Moreover, significant improvements in flexural and tensile strength were observed, with enhancements of 52 and 38%, respectively. The uniform dispersion of additives and improved interfacial adhesion between the PP matrix and additives facilitated efficient stress transfer, contributing to enhanced mechanical properties. Furthermore, a systematic life cycle assessment study demonstrated the positive impact of waste PP incorporation on CO2 reduction, achieving a remarkable 95% reduction compared to virgin PP. The developed compound also demonstrated favorable processability and flow properties, supporting its potential for mass production. Overall, this study presents a sustainable and effective approach for lightweight automotive interior part production using a synergistically designed PP compound meeting the requirements of the automotive industry.
