Abstract Aluminum‐based composite particles are widely applied complex catalyst materials in oil refining. Due to their tunable shape, porosity, and acidity, they commonly used for the production of cracking catalysts. Shaping well‐defined remains a challenge industrial preparation by spray drying, because properties must satisfy local demands refinery. The selectivity can be modified activity ...

The current exploration work focuses on the fabrication of aluminum 7075 matrix composites built up with different weight levels titanium carbide particles by a traditional stir casting process. In particular, combination high hardness and flexible modulus, low density, great wettability, synthetic reactivity melt makes TiC particle an attractive material. From 0% to 6 wt.% reinforcement is int...

At present, metallic glasses are evaluated as alternative reinforcements for aluminum matrix composites. These composites produced by powder metallurgy via consolidation of glass-aluminum mixtures. In most studies, the goal has been to preserve glassy state reinforcement during consolidation. However, it is also interest track structure evolution these when partial interaction between and glass...

Nanocomposites reinforced with nano-scale reinforcements exhibit excellent mechanical properties with low volume fraction of the reinforcement. For instance, only an addition of 0.7 vol.% few-layer graphene (FLG) into the pure titanium shows strength of ~1.5 GPa, obviously much superior to that of the monolithic titanium. The strengthening efficiency of composites is determined by several facto...

The main challenge in the production of metal matrix composites reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is the development of a manufacturing process ensuring the dispersion of nanoparticles without damaging them, and the formation of a strong bond with the metallic matrix to achieve an effective load transfer, so that the maximum reinforcement effect of CNTs will be accomplished. This research f...
