“…Particle-reinforced metal matrix composites (PRMMCs) are attractive alternatives for applications that need a combination of high specific strength, and specific stiffness and ductility, such as new energy vehicles, aircrafts, and devices in aerospace [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. However, the reinforcement can also reduce ductility, which limits the application in structural components.…”

The strengthening and weakening effects of SiC particles on composite strength and ductility were studied. Al-Cu-Mg alloys matrices with three different mechanical properties were used. Their yield strength, ultimate strength, and elongation range from 90 to 379 MPa, 131 to 561 MPa, and 18% to 31%, respectively. SiC particles with sizes of 4, 8, 12, 15, 20, and 30 μm were used to reinforce these three matrices, separately, and the composites of eighteen combinations of the particle sizes and matrix strengths were manufactured. Yield strength, ultimate strength, elongation, and fracture morphology of these composites were characterized. Based on the analysis, the strengthening to weakening behavior on strength and ductility were comprehensively discussed. The critical particle size having the best ductility was obtained. The strengthening limit and match range of the particle and the matrix to achieve effective strengthening were defined as a function of the particle size and matrix strength. This work offers an important reference for optimization of mechanical properties of the particle-reinforced metal matrix composites.

“…1,2 Notably, particulate-reinforced MMCs offer high strength/weight ratio, high stiffness, and good wear resistance over monolithic materials, therefore offer potential commercial prospectus. 3,4 Recently, the hybrid MMC materials proved to be more attractive properties and these materials are fabricated by embedding matrix phase with two or more reinforcements to improve engineering properties. 5 The unique properties of hybrid aluminum (Al) matrix composites are intended for a wide range of applications, such as aircraft and fighter plane components, drive shafts, brake rotor, airframe structure, and automobile components (such as piston, cylinder liner, engine block, turbocharger, supercharger, valve gears, brackets, etc.).…”

This article presents an experimental investigation to assess the influence of input process parameters of machinability of wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) process for machining of triple-reinforced silicon carbide, graphite, and iron oxide hybrid aluminum (Al-6061) metal matrix composites. The composite work specimens, developed using stir casting process, have been processed through WEDM process by adopting a statistically controlled design of experimentation approach. Furthermore, analysis of variance and regression analysis have been performed to understand the influence of the input process parameters on material removal rate (MRR) and spark gap (SG) width. The statistical analysis highlighted the improvements in MRR and SG by 33.72% and −27.28%, respectively, upon adopting the suggested optimized range of input process parameters. Further, the morphology of the machined composite surfaces has also been studied using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy to report the phenomenon of formation of recast layer.

“…From the optical microscopic examination, it is clear that the crests and troughs in the parent AZ91 matrix were more. S Kumar et al has reported that the major disadvantage of stir casting is the fixing of melting temperature of reinforcement material, which is noted as three times that of base metal [24]. It is reported that the agglomeration of reinforcement particles in the molten material is a highly decisive factor in the surface finish and crack formation [25].…”

Composite materials are being widely studied for the last few decades, and it has optimized the day to day applications in the engineering field. In this advancement, the use and development of metal matrices was a significant outcome that concentrated on the addition of many particulate materials in a metal matrix at nano and micro levels. Among these Magnesium, metal matrices are having a high potential, especially in transport, defense, and aircraft industries. Many research works are being carried out to use the capabilities of Magnesium and has provided excellent results. This paper is an overview of the development, processing, and improvement of properties in Magnesium alloys. Various manufacturing processes such as self-propagating high-temperature method, stir casting, laser cladding, and powder metallurgy has been used to develop the magnesium composites for increasing the properties by using various wt% of reinforcements added in the matrix. The improvement in mechanical properties such as tensile strength, yield strength, hardness and tribological properties such as wear rate is reviewed. The different properties and capabilities of Magnesium alloys such as AZ31, AZ91, and ZE41 is also discussed from the various research works.
