in this research, al-ni particle composite strips are formed by accumulative roll bonding (arb) process using al strips and ni powder. the rule of arb cycles and volume percentage (vol%) of ni powder on the microstructure, wear resistance and mechanical properties of the formed composites are investigated. according to the tensile test results, the yield stress and tensile strengths of the al -...

automotive and aerospace industries are required to light materials which have high properties. this causes to reduce production cost and fuel consumption. one of these advanced materials that have been attracted at these decades is particulate metal matrix nanocomposites. these materials have a combination of ductile matrix alloy properties and ceramic reinforcement nanoparticles. powder metal...

Combustion synthesis has been used to produce Fe-(Ti,W)C composites. A simple reactor was designed which made it possible to ignite the samples under controlled atmosphere. Samples with different W/Ti ratio were ingnited under argon atmosphere by an electric arc and a self-propagating reaction was initiated in each sample. Different composites such as WC in Fe-Ti matrix, WC+(Ti,W)C in Fe matrix...

The influence of fiberlmatrix interactions on the mechanical behavior of ceramic matrix composites is examined on glass matrix composites and mainly on composites made by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) of a fiber preform by a SiC matrix. Then the relationships between interfaces and features of the stress-strain behavior are highlighted on microcomposite specimens using experimental data and...

This review provides a comparison of submicron-diameter carbon filaments and conventional carbon fibers as fillers in composite materials. Carbon filaments (0.1 mm diameter, catalytically grown) are superior to conventional carbon fibers (discontinuous) as a filler in providing polymer–matrix and cement–matrix composites for electromagnetic performance, but are inferior to the fibers as a fille...

Effects of modifying oil palm mesocarp fibers (OPMF) by methacrylate silane on polylactic acid (PLA)/ polycaprolactone (PCL)/clay/OPMF hybrid composites were investigated. The composites were prepared by a melt blending technique and characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The silane-treated OPMF hybrid composites showed better tensile strength...

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...

in this study , the physical and mechanical properties of polypropylene composites reinforced with bagasse alkaline-sulfite-anthraquinone, soda-anthraqouinone, monoethanolamine-anthraquinone chemical pulps and mechanical pulp (cmp) known as pulp-plastic compostes (ppc) were investigated and the results were compared among ppcs and with polypropylene composites reinforced with bagasse flour know...
