Hybrid metal matrix composites are new invention in material science and Engineering. The hybrid (Hybrid MMC’s) generally consist of two or more reinforcements it. These MMC’s have several benefits over the single reinforcement. presence it exhibits improved mechanical, tribological machinability properties. Aluminium-based made attention recent years as engineering materials. But some use rein...

Ilmenite is a valuable industrial mineral containing Fe and Ti elements. Two composites with different morphology and composition were produced using the reaction of synthesized ilmenite and aluminum. The molar ratios of 1:2 and 1:8 were selected. The critical temperatures of each molar ratio were determined using the Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA). The heat treatment of the systems ...

In this study, the elemental powders of aluminum and copper were initially subjected to mechanical alloying using an attrition ball mill under argon atmosphere to produce an Al-4.5 wt% Cu powder alloy. The WC nanoparticles were then added to the powder alloy and milled in a planetary ball mill to explore the role of the WC nanoparticles on the mechanical properties of the fabricated composite p...

Recently, high-performance lightweight materials with outstanding mechanical properties have opened up their way to some sophisticated industrial applications. As one of these systems, aluminum matrix composites/nanocomposites (AMCs) offer an outstanding combination of relative density, hardness, wear resistance, and mechanical strength. Until now, several additive manufacturing methods have be...

This research is focused on the influence of processing temperature on titanium matrix composites reinforced through Ti, Al, and B₄C reactions. In order to investigate the effect of Ti-Al based intermetallic compounds on the properties of the composites, aluminum powder was incorporated into the starting materials. In this way, in situ TixAly were expected to form as well as TiB and TiC. The sp...

A nanocarbon-infused aluminum-matrix composite, termed "covetic," has been developed by Third Millennium Metals, LLC, and we have evaluated the enhanced performance prospects for strength and electrical conductivity. This paper examines the effects of the nanoscale carbon on the physical, electrical and mechanical properties of the metal-matrix composite based on microscopy, hardness, quasi-sta...

SiC reinforced Aluminum samples were produced by stir casting of liquid AA1200 aluminum alloy at 600-650oC casting temperature. 83μm SiC particles were rinsed in 10g/l, 20g/l and 30g/l molar concentration of Sncl2 through cleaning times of 0, 60, 120, and 180 minutes. Some cast samples were tested for mechanical properties and some were subjected to heat treatment before testing. The SnCl2 rins...
