Krajewski, AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Foundry Engineering, Kraków, Poland The presented work focuses on solid particle interactions with the moving crystallization front during a solidification of the metal matrix composite. The current analyses were made for silicon carbide particles and ZnAl alloy with di...

Abstract Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) have evolved itself in recent times as a source material for automotive applications, spacecraft electronics applications and sports accessories applications. The reason these numerous is their alterable mechanical properties such good strength-weight ratio, better stiffness, excellent resistance to wear, precise co-efficient of thermal expansion, imp...

Due to their superior capabilities for manufacturing lightweight automotive components, aluminium metal matrix composites have gained a lot of attention in the last few years. Aluminium are an exceptional class that can solve all major problems related automobile industry. disc braking system already been employed and studied by many scientists. However, developed materials not yet always suffi...

The demanding material quality criteria in the automotive and aerospace industries have recently had an impact on development of lightweight aluminium alloys. choice application metal-matrix composites as structural materials this context are known to offer a variety benefits. These benefits include ability combine high elastic modulus, toughness, resistance; minimum sensitivity change temperat...

Aluminum Matrix composites (AMCs) are light weight, high-strength materials with potential application in areas such as automobile, aerospace, defence, engineering and other industries. AMCs are projected to significantly reduce the overall weight of the vehicles and aircraft while maintaining satisfactory structural strength. Reinforcement of micron or nano-sized range particles with aluminium...

Abstract: Equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) is a promising technique for production of ultra fine-grain (UFG) materials of few hundred nanometers size. In this research, the grain refinement of aluminium strip is accelerated by sandwiching it between two copper strips and then subjecting the three strips to ECAE process simultaneously. The loosely packed copper-aluminium-copper laminated b...

Abstract A new way of manufacturing continuous fibre-reinforced plastics is the embedding fibres in filament a 3D printer. This method could be used composite materials with thermoplastic matrix containing glass, Kevlar and carbon fibres. paper provides an overview research on mechanical physical properties these parts as well optimisation approaches additively manufactured thermoplastics. Furt...
