Metal matrix composites (MMCs) exhibit improved strength but suffer from low ductility. Metal particles reinforcement can be an alternative to retain the ductility in MMCs (Bauri and Yadav, 2010; Thakur and Gupta, 2007) [1,2]. However, processing such composites by conventional routes is difficult. The data presented here relates to friction stir processing (FSP) that was used to process metal ...

Since composite materials were initially used in airplanes a few decades ago, substantial research has been done on problems such as lightning strike protection (LSP) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. In the current state of technology, aerospace industry needs cutting-edge to meet requirements like lower weight higher values strength stiffness protect against interference. On o...

In this study, Mg alloy-based composites (MMC: metal matrix composite) with uniaxially oriented continuous SiC fibers were fabricated using a low-pressure infiltration method. Next, the influence of Al particles as promoter on interfacial reaction between and alloy was investigated by means scanning electron microscopy (SEM) energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. presence particles, β-Mg17Al12...

In the present research, effects of volume fraction SiC+Al2O3 particles and aging temperature on machinability stir-casted Al7075 metal matrix composites (MMC) have been investigated. The hybrid were fabricated using liquid metallurgy route. was reinforced with different wt. % SiC (3%, 6%, 9%) Al2O3 (2%, 4%, 6%) which used to fabricate composites. samples aged at temperatures (140 ºC, 160 180 º...

Metal matrix composites have been widely used in industries, especially aerospace industries, due to their excellent engineering properties. However, it is difficult to machine them because of the hardness and abrasive nature of reinforcement elements like silicon carbide particles (SiCp).In the present study, an attempt has been made to investigate the influence of spindle speed (N), feed rate...

Aerospace engine and airframe designers are constantly seeking lighter weight high strength materials to reduce weight and improve performance of powerplants and aircraft. Titanium metal matrix composites (Ti MMCs) have offered the promise of significant weight savings since their initial development in the early 1960s but until recently, their inadequate quality and reproducibility combined wi...

In composites, outstanding properties of two materials can be combined. particular, metal–matrix composites (MMCs) combine the a high-strength ductile metallic matrix with special embedded ceramic particles. This hybrid used to create functional material. However, during consolidation, thermal load most common MMC-processing routes is an obstacle for such functionalization, because unique phase...

The wear debris from conventional brake pads is a growing source of environmental contamination that often leads to life-threatening diseases for human beings. Though the emerging organic show potential serve as an eco-friendly alternative, their mechanical and tribological properties are not adequate withstand demands high-wear resistance functioning braking system under regular use. Metal mat...

Metal matrix-impregnated diamond composites are widely used in diamond tool manufacturing. In order to satisfy the increasing engineering requirements, researchers have paid more and more attention to enhancing conventional metal matrices by applying novel methods. In this work, ZrO₂ nanoparticles were introduced into the WC-bronze matrix with and without diamond grits via hot pressing to impro...
