Particle-reinforced aluminium metal matrix composites were ultrasonically brazed. In situ compositing technology of a particle-reinforced bond is described in this article. The joints with lower strength showed a structure of composite material/bond metal/composite material after ultrasonic brazing. The double liquid–solid zones in the base material close to the bond were fabricated by means of melting the base materials at a relatively higher temperature. Then pressure was applied to the samples, the double liquid–solid zones and the bond were mixed with each other and a particle-reinforced bond formed. The microstructure of the particle-reinforced bond is very similar to that of the base composite materials. The shear strength of the bonds was improved dramatically.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
