Abstract
Severe plastic deformation has proven to be a promising method for the in situ manufacturing of metal-matrix composites with improved properties. Recent investigations have revealed a severe mixing of elements, as well as the formation of non-equilibrium intermetallic phases, which are known to affect physical and mechanical properties. In this work, a multilayered aluminum–magnesium (Al-Mg) nanostructured composite was fabricated using constrained high-pressure torsion (HPT) in a Bridgeman-anvil-type unit. A microstructure investigation and X-ray diffraction analysis allowed us to identify the presence of intermetallic Al3Mg2 and Al12Mg17 phases in the deformed nanostructured composite. The sputtering yield of the Al3Mg2 and Al12Mg17 phases was found to be 2.2 atom/ion and 1.9 at/ion, respectively, which is lower than that of Mg (2.6 at/ion). According to density functional theory (DFT)-based calculations, this is due to the higher surface-binding energy of the intermetallic phases (3.90–4.02 eV with the Al atom removed and 1.53–1.71 eV with the Mg atom removed) compared with pure Al (3.40–3.84 eV) and Mg (1.56–1.57 eV). In addition, DFT calculations were utilized to calculate the work functions (WFs) of pure Al and Mg and the intermetallic Al3Mg2 and Al12Mg17 phases. The WF of the obtained Al-Mg nanostructured composite was found to be 4 eV, which is between the WF value of Al (4.3 eV) and Mg (3.6 eV). The WF of the Al12Mg17 phase was found to be in a range of 3.63–3.75 eV. These results are in close agreement with the experimentally measured WF of the metal matrix composite (MMC). Therefore, an intermetallic alloy based on Al12Mg17 is proposed as a promising cathode material for various gas-discharge devices, while an intermetallic alloy based on Al3Mg2 is suggested as a promising optical- and acoustic-absorbing material.
