A Low Cost Method for Manufacturing of Aluminum/Alumina Composite by Anodizing and CRB Process: Roohollah Jamaati1; Mohammad Reza Toroghinejad1; E. Zahrani1; 1Isfahan University of Technology In this work, Al/Al2O3 composite strips are manufactured by a low cost method consist cold roll bonding (CRB) process of anodized aluminum strips. This technique has the flexibility to control the volume f...

It is of interest to incorporate quantitative characterization of actual three-dimensional microstructures in micromechanical analysis of composites due to the dominant influence of microstructural features on the material behavior. In this paper, a methodology has been developed to perform finite element-based simulations on complex three-dimensional microstructures, through its application to...

Aluminum-based metal matrix composite (MMC) materials are used in the design of ground transportation vehicles and aircraft. Compared with conventional, unreinforced alloys, composite materials usually exhibit higher strength, both at ambient and elevated temperatures, as well as good fatigue strength and wear resistance. MMCs could be produced by variety of methods such as Stir cast, Liquid In...
