Abstract

A metal composite material (MMC) based on an aluminum cast alloy of the Al–Mg–Cu–Si system containing 65±1% (vol.) silicon carbide and obtained using vacuum compression impregnation technology was developed and studied. Porous preforms with different particle sizes of silicon carbide were obtained by cold compaction followed by melt impregnation of an aluminum alloy. The temperature coefficient of linear expansion (TCLE) was measured in the temperature range from -100 to +400 °С, and the density and volume content of a composite material with various particle sizes of silicon carbide were measured. It was found that with increasing particle size, the TCLE fraction decreases by 15–20% at 20 °C, due to the low content of interphase boundaries of theheterogeneous structure of the composite.
