SiCp reinforced aluminium matrix composites (AMCs), which are widely used in the aerospace, automotive, and electronic packaging fields along with others, usually prepared by ex situ techniques. However, interfacial contamination poor wettability of techniques make further improvement their comprehensive performance difficult. In this paper, AMCs theoretical volume fractions 15%, 20%, 30% powde...

Metal matrix composite (MMC) technology can improve the service performance of matrix metals and alloys. Most magnesium alloy based MMCs are produced via a casting process, therefore the casting microstructures are of vital importance to their performance in service. The formation of microstructure during solidification of MMCs is mainly influenced by four factors: nucleation (or its absence) o...

Microstructural and mechanical characterization of 10 vol% SiC particles (SiCp) reinforced 6061 Al-based composite fabricated by powder thixoforming (PTF) was investigated in comparison with the PTF and permanent mold cast (PMC) 6061 monolithic alloys. The results reveal that the microstructure of the PMC alloy consists of coarse and equiaxed α dendrites and interdendritic net-like eutectic pha...

SiC-particulate-reinforced aluminum matrix composites (SiCp/Al MMCs) are widely used in the aerospace field due to their high specific stiffness and strength, low thermal expansion coefficient, good radiation resistance. In process of application promotion, there is a connection problem between electronic glass. this work, lead-free SiO2-B2O3-Na2O glass filler was seal 65 vol.% SiCp/ZL102 DM305...

Soybean-urease induced calcite precipitation (SICP) is an effective method for the improvement of sand, which forms a biocemented layer on desert sand surface to resist erosion by wind. Under this study, field tests were carried out determine how SICP approach may enhance resistance wind-induced and durability treatment in southeastern margin Tengger Desert, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China...

The aim of this work is to analyze the micro mechanisms underlying the wear of macroscale tools during diamond machining of SiCp/Al6063 composites and to develop the mechanism-based diamond wear model in relation to the dominant wear behaviors. During drilling, high volume fraction SiCp/Al6063 composites containing Cu, the dominant wear mechanisms of diamond tool involve thermodynamically activ...
