Microstructure and interface structure studies of SiCp-reinforced Al (6061) metal-matrix composites

Application of powder metallurgy and hot rolling processes for manufacturing aluminum/alumina composite strips

“…It can be argued that the subsequent hot rolling improves the bonding Al/Al 2 O 3 interfaces and eliminates the porosity. Good cohesion strength, which is related to the particle-matrix interface strength, caused excellent mechanical properties [28,[30][31][32].…”

Investigation on microstructures and interface character of B4C particles reinforced 2024Al matrix composites fabricated by mechanical alloying

“…The crystallographic defects such as stacking faults were usually observed in SiC particles [11] using TEM and HRTEM. Some researchers found that mechanical property of composites was related to the stacking faults of reinforcements, causing fracture of reinforced particles during tension load applied.…”

Corrosion performance and microstructural response of A380 matrix alloy reinforced with sol–gel TiO2-coated SiC particles: a perspective on previous studies

“…It is well known that the application of MMC materials always requires the bonding of two or more constituent materials, matrix and reinforcement( generally ceramic phases are addedt ot he matrix), with significantly differentp hysical or chemical properties. However, the wettability regarding the matrix and reinforcementisakey factor in the performance of the composites.F urthermore, the matrix/reinforcementi nterface plays an important role in the internal/external oxidation/reduction of the constituents [1][2][3][4][5].…”
