The interpenetrating network SiC/Al-Mg composites were prepared by 3 D-printed network SiC preform combined with the melt infiltration process of Al-Mg alloy. The microstructure
mechanical properties and friction properties of the composites were characterized
and the effects of infiltration temperature was analyzed. The results indicate that Al alloy can fully permeate SiC with 3 D printed hierarchical network structure from 910 ℃ to 950 ℃
and the microstructure of composite is composed of interpenetrating Al alloy and “shell-core” network frame. The increase of infiltration temperature promotes the reaction and the uniformity of microstructure. When the temperature is 930 ℃
the SiC/Al-Mg composite has the optimal comprehensive properties
where compressive strength and hardness of the composites reach 425 MPa and 557 HV
