Abstract: B4C/6061Al composites reinforced with nano- to micrometer-sized B4C particles were fabricated via powder metallurgy route consisting of spark plasma sintering (SPS) and hot extrusion and rolling (HER), followed by T6 treatment. The microstructural evolution and mechanical properties were investigated. Results showed that the status of B4C particles changed from a network after SPS to a dispersion distribution after HER. The substructured grains reached 66.5% owing to the pinning effect of nano-sized B4C, and the grain size was refined from 3.12 μm to 1.56 μm after HER. After T6 treatment, dispersed Mg2Si precipitated phases formed, and the grain size increased to 1.87 μm. Fine recrystallized grains around micro-sized B4C were smaller than those in the areas with uniform distribution of nano-sized B4C and Mg2Si. The stress distributions of as-rolled and heated composites were similar, considering that the T6 heat treatment was only effective in eliminating the first internal stress. The Vickers, microhardness, and tensile strength of as-SPSed composites were greatly improved from HV 55.45, 0.86 GPa, and 180 MPa to HV 77.51, 1.08 GPa, and 310 MPa, respectively. Despite the precipitation strengthening, the corresponding values of as-heated composites decreased to HV 70.82, 0.85 GPa, and 230 MPa owing to grain coarsening.
