Building the Nano composites for getting material with combinational properties and improving properties of currently used material has been taken significant attention. One of the ways of building Nano composites is using a method known as powder metallurgy. Because with this method not only wastes are decreased to minimum but we can also mix the materials with high melting point with the mate...

Titanium matrix composites (TMC) represent a perspective materials category with potential applications in many important fields like aerospace constructions, automotive industry, ship structures, sports and households objects, and others. A titanium matrix composite is constituted of a titanium or titanium alloy – matrix and reinforcements materials, which are usually ceramics in form of parti...

In view of large interest in the improve of Al/Al alloy based Metal matrix Composite and high-temperature ceramics on the base of silicon carbide, a comprehensive review of the data on structure, properties and the known methods of processing of silicon carbide seems timely. The most striking feature of silicon carbide is its polytypism, i.e. formation of a great number of structural changes wi...

The microstructure of three different nanocrystalline materials with hexagonal crystal structure are studied by X-ray diffraction peak profile analysis. The crystallite size distribution and the dislocation structure are determined in plasmathermal silicon nitride powder, sintered tungsten carbide and severely deformed titanium and are compared with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) result...

The multi-scale finite element method is used to study the vibrational characteristics of polymer matrix reinforced by single-walled silicon carbide nanotubes. For this purpose, the nanoscale finite element method is employed to simulate the nanotubes at the nanoscale. While, the polymer is considered as a continuum at the larger scale. The polymer nanotube interphase is simulated by spring ele...

Titanium carbide is used as an attractive reinforcement to produce particulate metal matrix composites. One of the problems to use this carbide as a reinforcement in copper-based composites is the lack of wetability in Cu-TiC system. This property improves as the C/Ti ratio in carbide decreases. Problems to use this carbide as a reinforcement in copper-based composites is the lack of wetabiity...
