Abstract:

It is great significance to study self-healing aluminum alloy materials for spacecraft the structure protection from high energy space weapon attack and debris impact in future. In this paper, Using aluminum alloy (6063) as matrix material with low melting point alloy (Sn60Pb40, the melting point of 183°C) as repairing materials, the self-healing Aluminum Alloy material was designed and manufactured by the smelting and casting method. The crack damage repair performance of the self-healing Al alloy was researched through the experiment. The results show that the self-healing aluminum alloy has certain self-healing ability without help, when the temperature reaches the melting point temperature of Sn60Pb40. The repair time is about 20min, the crack filling rate can reach 84%. The research conclusion can provide a reference for the development of metal self-healing material technology.
