Abstract

The Al–Sn composites prepared by liquid phase sintering of a mixture of alloyed aluminum and tin powders are studied. A small amount of alloying additions (Zn, Mg, Si, Cu) is found to promote substantial hardening of the aluminum matrix during its treatment by equal channel angular pressing, but these additions decrease the plastic properties. The maximum strength and the minimum plasticity are detected in the samples alloyed with 2% Cu.
