“…Also the distribution of these particles represents an issue in the development process, because of the fact that the normal distribution of the smallest TaC particles in the alumina matrix is very hard to obtain. The agglomeration process occurs when it is desire to distribute the smallest particles in alumina matrix [52]. Off all the reinforcement particles in the matrix processes, the powder metallurgy process supports in the best way the uniform distribution of the particles in the matrix, however, there are also some problems with the agglomeration mechanism in this process.…”

This paper is focused on the basic properties of ceramic composite materials used as thermal barrier coatings in the aerospace industry like SiC, ZrC, ZrB 2 etc., and summarizes some principal properties for thermal barrier coatings. Although the aerospace industry is mainly based on metallic materials, a more attractive approach is represented by ceramic materials that are often more resistant to corrosion, oxidation and wear having at the same time suitable thermal properties. It is known that the space environment presents extreme conditions that challenge aerospace scientists, but simultaneously, presents opportunities to produce materials that behave almost ideally in this environment. Used even today, metal-matrix composites (MMCs) have been developed since the beginning of the space era due to their high specific stiffness and low thermal expansion coefficient. These types of composites possess properties such as high-temperature resistance and high strength, and those potential benefits led to the use of MMCs for supreme space system requirements in the late 1980s. Electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) is the technology that helps to obtain the composite materials that ultimately have optimal properties for the space environment, and ceramics that broadly meet the requirements for the space industry can be silicon carbide that has been developed as a standard material very quickly, possessing many advantages. One of the most promising ceramics for ultrahigh temperature applications could be zirconium carbide (ZrC) because of its remarkable properties and the competence to form unwilling oxide scales at high temperatures, but at the same time it is known that no material can have all the ideal properties. Another promising material in coating for components used for ultra-high temperature applications as thermal protection systems is zirconium diboride (ZrB 2 ), due to its high melting point, high thermal conductivities, and relatively low density. Some composite ceramic materials like carbon-carbon fiber reinforced SiC, SiC-SiC, ZrC-SiC, ZrB 2 -SiC, etc., possessing low thermal conductivities have been used as thermal barrier coating (TBC) materials to increase turbine inlet temperatures since the 1960s. With increasing engine efficiency, they can reduce metal surface temperatures and prolong the lifetime of the hot sections of aero-engines and land-based turbines.

“…However, conversion of properties of such covalently bonded ceramic into industrial applications lies in the near net shaping of it as a composite or a dense sintered microstructure [4,5]. Despite many favorable characteristics of B 4 C as reinforcement particles in metal matrix, low fracture toughness, higher sintering temperature and poor antioxidant capacity undermine its application [6]. Particulate-reinforced metal matrix composites exhibit favorable mechanical properties due to their combined advantages of both the metal matrix and the reinforcing particles [7,8].…”

To reveal the formation and wear mechanisms of rheo-formed aluminum alloy -B 4 C composites, A356 alloy − 10 mass% B 4 C composite material was fabricated by semi-solid stirring rheo-casting and rolling process. The presence of Al 3 BC was confirmed by XRD analysis and hinted that chemical bonding formed at interfaces between aluminum matrix and B 4 C particles. Tensile test results demonstrated that addition of B 4 C facilitated improving the tensile strength by refining matrix and providing particle strengthening. Failure tests revealed that the failure type of the composite transferred from interfacial debonding to particle cracking with increasing wear load. The wear rate of the composite was approximately 48% lower than that of aluminum alloy under 60 N load. The friction coefficient of the composite under 60 N load also significantly decreased due to formation of B 2 O 3 and H 3 BO 3 as solid lubricants. OPEN ACCESS RECEIVED

“…In order to overcome such distinct, dispersion of certain ceramic particles into aluminum matrix will be carried out thereby increasing the overall hardness of the material [7]. It has been stated from literatures that the proper selection of processing techniques, reinforcements along with its characteristics has to be properly monitored so as to achieve aluminum MMC with better mechanical properties and the interfacial bonding between the matrix material and reinforcement plays majorly in governing the acquired property of the aluminum MMC [8]. Alloying of the material also has been carried out so as to achieve the required properties for the material as per requirements.…”
