Abstract
In the realm of space and aviation technologies, materials must endure extreme temperatures, vacuum conditions, micrometeoroids, and space debris. These materials require high mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and low weight. Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are often utilized due to their superior properties compared to non-composite materials. This study explores the integration of silica aerogel granules into metal matrices to form innovative composite materials. Aerogels, known for their low density and exceptional thermal insulation properties, are investigated for their potential to enhance aerospace applications. Despite their promising insulating properties, aerogels alone lack mechanical strength, necessitating their combination with other materials. This research focuses on the interaction between liquid aluminum and SiO2-CeO2 aerogels at high temperatures, aiming to create strong bonds and reinforced composites. High-temperature wettability tests using the sessile drop method reveal the formation of a robust and permanent connection between the aluminum and aerogel. SEM, XPS, and XAS analyses confirm the occurrence of chemical reactions at the interface, resulting in the formation of Al2O3 and the infiltration of aluminum into the aerogel matrix. The resultant Al/aerogel composite material demonstrates enhanced mechanical properties and thermal stability, offering significant potential for aerospace applications due to its lightweight nature and improved structural integrity.
