Fabrication of TiB2 and TiB2–TiC particulates reinforced magnesium matrix composites

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Wear Mechanism for In Situ TiC Particle Reinforced AZ91 Magnesium Matrix Composites

“…Recently, particle reinforced magnesium alloys have been applied in the manufacture of various automotive engine components because of their excellent wear properties [4][5][6]. A spray-deposited process is an innovative technique to produce rapid solidification [7][8][9][10][11].…”

Microstructure of the Ce-modified in situ Mg2Si/Al–Si–Cu composite

“…Particulate-reinforced aluminum and magnesium metal matrix composites (MMCs) have a great potential to be applied in automobile and aerospace industries because of their high specific tensile strength and modulus, as well as their high wear resistance [1], in particular, low thermalexpansion, and improved mechanical properties at a wide range of temperatures. These properties led to the application of aluminum MMCs in the automotive industry, especially for cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, pistons and valve lifters.…”

Reactive infiltration synthesis of TiB2–TiC particulates reinforced steel matrix composites

“…In fact, the reaction kinetics determines which phase will form during the reaction [31,32]. According to our previous study [33,34], TiB 2 is present typically as a hexagonal prism or a rectangular form in the SHS reaction products of the Al-Ti-B system, and TiC is spherical in the products of Al-Ti-C system. It is interesting to note that these morphologies are in agreement well with those observed in the products of Ni-Ti-B 4 C system ( Fig.…”
