In this paper, the SiCp/Al composites were bonded via laser-induced exothermic reactions of a Ni–Al–Zr interlayer. The interlayer was designed based on its property and chemical compatibility with composites. influences composition bonding pressure joint microstructure shear strength investigated. Results indicated that high occurred in realized reliable products eutectic structure NiAl+Ni2AlZr...

In the present work, the tensile properties and fracture behavior of a 2024Al composite reinforced with 10 vol % SiCp and fabricated via powder thixoforming (PT) were studied at temperatures ranging from 25 ◦C to 300 ◦C with a strain rate of 0.05 s−1, as well as the PT 2024 alloy. The results indicated that the tensile strengths of both the PT materials were all decreased with increasing the te...

Aluminum (Al)-based silicon carbide (SiC) material composites are considered as difficult-to-machine materials because of the presence hard reinforced SiC particles, which results in a greater cutting force and poor surface integrity during machining process. This paper established micro-anisotropic mechanical models SiCp/Al with 10vol% studied difference mechanism between ultrasonic elliptical...

Nearly twenty years ago, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) changed the intellectual landscape of introductory computing courses. Unfortunately, three problems—its lack of an explicit program design methodology, its reliance on domain knowledge, and the whimsies of Scheme— have made it integrate poorly with the rest of the curriculum and fail to maintain its position in se...

Aluminum matrix composites reinforced with SiC particles (SiCp) were deposited on ZE41 magnesium substrates by laser cladding in order to improve their tribological performance. Silicon and titanium added the avoid Al-SiC reactivity. The addition of these elements Al4C3 formation during fabrication was successfully explored previous research, but effect wear behavior corrosion resistance coatin...

With the advent of large number of composite materials, a systematic study of machining characteristics of these new materials is necessary for their rapid adoption in the actual engineering applications. This paper is an attempt to understand the machining characteristics of Al/SiCp composite material, which is the most widely used and projected to have large application in the near future. A ...
