The main aim of this paper was to determine the amount of Al2O3 reinforcement that results into best combination of strength. Magnesium nano composites containing 3.5, 7.0 and 14 volume percentage of Al2O3 were synthesized through powder metallurgy route. Resistance of furnace sintering technique (heating rate: 49°C/min).Micro structural characterization revealed reasonably uniform distribution...

The densification response of aluminium powder reinforced with nanometric SiC particles (50 nm) during uniaxial compaction was studied. To determine the effect of SiC nanoparticles on the compressibility of the matrix, monolithic Al powder was also examined. The effect of SiC nanoparticles on the densification mechanisms, i.e. particle rearrangement and plastic deformation, was analysed using m...

Investigation was to study the influence of pulse-impact on microstructure of Liquid-Phase-Pulse-Impact Diffusion Welding (LPPIDW) welded joints of aluminum matrix composite SiCp/A356, SiCp/6061Al, Al2O3p/6061Al. Results showed that under the effect of pulse-impact: 1) the interface state between reinforcement particle (SiC, Al2O3) and matrix was prominently; 2) the initial pernicious contact-s...

friction stir processing was applied for fabricating an aluminum alloy based hybrid nano composite reinforced with nano sized al2o3 and micro sized graphite particles. a mixture of al2o3 and graphite particles was packed into a groove with 1 mm width and 4.5 mm depth, which had been cut in 5083 aluminum plate of 10 mm thick. packed groove was subjected to friction stir processing in order to im...

Metal matrix composites reinforced by nano-particles are very promising materials, suitable for a large number of applications. These composites consist of a metal matrix filled with nano-particles featuring physical and mechanical properties very different from those of the matrix. The nano-particles can improve the base material in terms of wear resistance, damping properties and mechanical s...

The vapor deposition of open-networked carbon nanostructures and carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-reinforced composites have been developed and studied parametrically. Carbon nanostructures, including nano-tubes, nano-foams, nanoparticles, and nano-walls, have been deposited on catalyst-assisted substrates using microwave plasma electron cyclotron resonance-chemical vapor deposition (ECR-CVD) system at ...

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...

carbon nano-tube (cnt) reinforced metal matrix nano-composites have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years due to the outstanding physical and mechanical properties of cnts. however, utilizing cnt as reinforcement for alloy matrixes has not been studies systematically and is still a challenging issue. in the present study, cu80fe20/10cnt nanocomposite was synthesized by mechanical ...
