Effect of reinforcement of flyash on sliding wear, slurry erosive wear and corrosive behavior of aluminium matrix composite

Characteristic compressive properties of hybrid metal matrix syntactic foams

“…Stir casting is cheaper and faster, but it can only produce lower reinforcement volume fractions due to hollow sphere breakage caused by mechanical stirring [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. In the case of infiltration two basic methods can be separated: gravity-fed infiltration (only in the case of wetting matrix -reinforcement systems [17][18][19][20]) and pressure-assisted infiltration (for non-wetting systems).…”

Effect of Copper and Silicon Carbide Content on the Corrosion Resistance of Al-Mg Alloys in Acidic and Alkaline Solutions

“…The intermetallic Mg 2 Si has been reported to be electrochemically active and may enhance localized corrosion [8]. On the other hand, high dislocation densities have been observed at the Al-SiC matrix interfaces as a result of differential thermal contraction between SiC particles and the Al matrix [9]. Also the protruded SiC particles increase the surface area which becomes in contact with corroding solution and hence increase the susceptibility of the surface to be corroded.…”

Development and characterization of epoxy syntactic foam filled with epoxy hollow spheres

“…Besides that, most published studies also used and investigated various processing techniques in the production of syntactic foams [24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Some of the literatures described the technique in detail [31,32] and some patented their manufacturing techniques such done by Kim [33] and Meteer and Philipps [34]. Usually, syntactic foams where made by casting [24], pressure infiltration or by a blending method [26].…”
