Metal Matrix composites (MMCs) are light weight, high-strength materials with potential application in areas such as automobile, aerospace, defence and other industries. MMCs are projected to significantly reduce the overall weight of the vehicle and aircraft while maintaining satisfactory structural strength. Micron and Nano-sized ceramic particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites fabricat...

The aluminum bronze matrix alumina composites using hot press and resin infiltration were investigated to study their porosities, hardness, bending strengths, and microstructures. The experiment results show that the hardness of the sintered composites with the decrease of porosity increases. The composites without and with resin infiltration have about HRF 42-61 of about 34-40% of porosity and...

Aluminum-based composites find its importance in the field of automobile and aerospace industries owing to their improved mechanical and microstructure properties are utilized for producing cylindrical components in LM6 alloy. Among all types of metal matrix composites (MMCs), considerable attention has been paid towards synthesis and characterization of aluminum matrix composites due to its li...

Our study proposes in situ synthesis of cold-rollable aluminum nitride (AlN) reinforced aluminum matrix composites with attractive thermal properties via arc plasma-induced accelerated volume nitridation (APAVN). Within three minutes of repeated APAVN using commercial nitrogen gas, volume fraction of AlN increased up to 40 vol%, which is the highest value ever reported by in situ nitridation of...
