Metal matrix composite (MMC) is engineered combination of the metal (matrix) and hard particle (reinforcement) to get tailored properties. MMCs are either in use or prototyping for the space shuttle, commercial airliners, electronic substrates, automobiles, golf clubs, and a variety of other applications.In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced aluminum MMCs were synthesized by DPDS fo...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have superior mechanical strength and wear resistance as compared to base alloy. Aluminium matrix reinforced with low density discontinuous particulate composites has good potential in automobile and aerospace applications. The main challenge is to produce the light weight composite in a cost effective way to achieve the greater properties. In the present study, a...

Energy and resource efficient systems often demand the use of light-weight materials with a specific combination of properties. However, these requirements usually cannot be achieved with homogeneous materials. Consequently, composites enabling tailored properties gain more and more importance. A special kind of these materials is aluminium matrix composites (AMCs), which offer elevated strengt...

automotive and aerospace industries are required to light materials which have high properties. this causes to reduce production cost and fuel consumption. one of these advanced materials that have been attracted at these decades is particulate metal matrix nanocomposites. these materials have a combination of ductile matrix alloy properties and ceramic reinforcement nanoparticles. powder metal...

Fabrication and characterization of aluminum matrix composites containing different volume fractions of Ni3Al powder (5-40 Vol%) were investigated. Ni3Al powder was produced by mechanical alloying of elemental nickel and aluminum powder mixture. Al-Ni3Al composite parts were prepared using a powder metallurgy route involving two stages Al and Ni3Al powder mixtures were first compacted under 500...

Metal Matrix composites (MMCs) are light weight, high-strength materials with potential application in areas such as automobile, aerospace, defence and other industries. MMCs are projected to significantly reduce the overall weight of the vehicle and aircraft while maintaining satisfactory structural strength. Micron and Nano-sized ceramic particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites fabricat...

The (TiB2+TiC)/AlSi10Mg composite powders with 1.5 wt% nano-TiB2 particles and nano-TiC were prepared by ball milling. Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) reinforced TiB2 TiC fabricated via SLM optimal processing parameters. showed a very high ultimate tensile strength ∼552.4 MP excellent ductility ∼12%, which is 40.3% 166.7% higher than that of unreinforced AlSi10Mg, respectively. effects nanopa...

The aluminum bronze matrix alumina composites using hot press and resin infiltration were investigated to study their porosities, hardness, bending strengths, and microstructures. The experiment results show that the hardness of the sintered composites with the decrease of porosity increases. The composites without and with resin infiltration have about HRF 42-61 of about 34-40% of porosity and...
