Some studies on the thermal-expansion behavior of c-fiber, SiC p , and in-situ Mg2Si-Reinforced AZ31 Mg alloy-Based hybrid composites

“…This phenomenon needs to be further studied and understood. In a similar study, Wang et al [15] very recently reported a new aluminum-matrix composite containing ␤-eucryptite particles and aluminum borate whiskers obtained by a squeeze-casting technique. They reported that the CTE of the composite was affected greatly by the degree of interfacial reaction on the surface of the ␤-eucryptite particle.…”

“…[17,18,19] The previous studies [16,20,21] on MMCs have shown that thermal cycling leads to a progressive increase in length during dilatometry, and this increase is initially rapid and gradually approaches a saturation value. It has also been reported [15] that the change of the CTE of the composite is mainly caused by the interfacial reaction between the reinforcements and the matrix material.…”

“…The CTE of MMCs has been recognized as one of the important thermomechanical properties, [15,16] because the thermal stability can be a critical issue in the design of components subjected to temperature variations. Tailoring the CTE is an important consideration in minimizing the expansioncontraction mismatch or to maintain the specific dimensional tolerances between the components subjected to various temperature gradients.…”

“…Several studies [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] have been conducted in the past on the thermal-expansion behavior of Mg, Al, and Cu-based MMCs. However, there has been very little work reported so far in the available literature on the Mg-based novel hybrid composites.…”
