Comparison of ceramic material effects on the flexural Weibull statistics and fracture of high volume fraction particle reinforced aluminum

Influence of microstructural features on the impact toughness of infiltrated Al2O3|P-steel composites

“…For MMCs reinforced with coarse and fine Al 2 O 3 -particles respectively, a trend is found towards higher impact toughness if the particle size increases [22,23]. In contrast to these results, other studies reported a smaller particle size to be beneficial for the composite toughness [17,24]. The effect of particle size on the mechanical behaviour is related to the particle quality.…”

Influence of Nanosized Silicon Carbide on Dimensional Stability of Al/SiC Nanocomposite

“…According to the previous researches [16][17][18], at constant volume fraction, the role of nanosized silicon carbide on Young's modulus of aluminum matrix is much higher than that of microsized; therefore, change in length of aluminum should be restricted in the presence of nanosized silicon carbide. This is why Al/SiC nanocomposite provides higher-dimensional stability in comparison with Al/SiC composites.…”

“…They demonstrated that the weight loss of the composites in corrosive media depends strongly on both volume percent and particle size of SiC [11][12][13][14]. The studies of another group concentrated on the role of SiC particles on mechanical properties and machinability of Al/SiC composites [15,16]. They showed that both volume percent and particle size of SiC particles play an important role on mechanical behavior of Al/SiC.…”

Influence of Alumina (Al2O3) Nanosized Reinforcements on Dimensional Stability of Pure Aluminum Matrix Nanocomposite

“…Investigations also reported that both volume percent and particle size play an important role on the mechanical behavior and machinability of the composite [7,8]. In General, volume percent and particle size of reinforcements to have a strong influence on most behaviors of the new made composites [9][10][11][12].…”
