Particulate reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) are potential materials for various applications due to their advantageous of physical and mechanical properties. This paper presents a study on the performance of stir cast Al2O3 SiC reinforced metal matrix composite materials. The results indicate that the composite materials exhibit improved physical and mechanical properties, such as, lo...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have been developed in response to the enormous demand for special industrial materials and structures automotive aerospace applications, wherein both high-strength light weight are simultaneously required. The most common, inexpensive route fabricate MMCs or metal nanocomposites (MMNCs) is based on casting, reinforcements like nanoceramics, -carbides, -nitrides, ...

In this work, TiC/M2 high speed steel metal matrix composites (MMCs) were prepared using the ball milling method and laser powder bed fusing process. By controlling TiC content in TiC/M2HSS, grain size, phase composition, frictional wear properties of samples enhanced. The results showed that when TiC/M2HSS was supplemented with 1% TiC, surface microhardness increased to a maximum value volume ...

al-sic composites are among the most demanding metal matrix composites due to their excellent strength, good ductility, good corrosion resistance, low coefficient of thermal expansion and reasonable price. manufacturing of cast metal matrix composites usually involves some problems such as inhomogeneous distribution of the particles due to poor wetability of ceramics to molten alloys, porosity ...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) attract considerable attention as a result from its ability in providing a high strength, high modulus, high toughness, high impact properties, improving wear resistance and providing good corrosion resistance compared to unreinforced alloy. Aluminium Silicon (Al/Si) alloy MMC has been widely used in various industrial sectors such as in transportation, domestic e...
