Running-in, mild and severe wear are three typical wear regimes of a wear system. The running-in wear is of particular interest in MMC/ steel systems. In this paper, the running-in wear was investigated in the system of a steel disk and Sic-particle-reinforced 2014 Al composite pins. It was found that the wear mechanisms of the system were dominated by abrasion and that the fracture of the rein...

The mechanical and morphological properties of the unidirectional metal matrix composite (MMC) in titanium alloy reinforced with continuous silicon carbide (SiC) fibres are investigated. lay-up manufacturing process known as Foil / Fibre (FF) was compared matrix-coated-fibre (CF) method which promises a better final shape reinforcing fibre net. Tensile tests were performed to measure performanc...

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...

Metal-matrix composites (MMCs) are used in a large number of high-performance applications. In 2004, more than 3.5 million kg of MMCs were used and the number is increasing rapidly, with an annual growth rate exceeding 6%. Most of the current MMC applications are in ground transportation, aviation, electronics, and sports industries. The initial discovery of the synthesis of cast aluminum-matri...

Composite material is a combination of two or more materials having compositional variations and depicting properties distinctively different from those of the individual materials of the composite. A composite mixture having more than one fiber is known as hybrid composite During the past decade, considerable research effort has been directed towards the development of in situ Metal Matrices h...

in this research, al-ni particle composite strips are formed by accumulative roll bonding (arb) process using al strips and ni powder. the rule of arb cycles and volume percentage (vol%) of ni powder on the microstructure, wear resistance and mechanical properties of the formed composites are investigated. according to the tensile test results, the yield stress and tensile strengths of the al -...

Hybrid reinforced particulate aluminum matrix composite materials (HAMCs) are a breakthrough kind of material made by combining two or more distinct reinforcing components in the (Al) matrix. Composites with many phases offer superior overall mix characteristics than composites only one. This article’s wide literature review metal (MMC) especially for (AMC) was carried out. Discussions various ...

The paper attempts to study the machinability issues of aluminium-silicon carbide (Al-SiC) metal matrix composites (MMC) in turning using HSS cutting tool. SiCp-reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) containing SiC particles (5wt%-20wt %) of 400mesh size were prepared by powder metallurgy (P/M) route and used as work material for turning. Experiments were conducted at various cutting speeds ...
