Mechanical Properties and Strain Hardening Behavior of Few‐Layered Graphene Nanosheets‐Reinforced Powder Metallurgy Nickel‐Based Superalloy Metal Matrix Composites

“…The properties such as high thermal resistance, [16] high specific strength, [17] rigidity, [18] creep excellent resistance, [19] abrasion resistance, [20] and dimensional stability [21] of these types of MMCs are increased.Nickel-based superalloy MMCs incorporating reinforcing phases have attracted increasing research attention in recent years. In MMCs, metallic elements such as Al, [6,7] Mg, [8,9] Ti, [10,11] Cu, [12,13] and Ni, [14,15] and their alloys comprise the matrix material, which provides structural integrity to the material and holds the reinforcing phase together. The properties of MMCs, including thermal resistance, [16] specific strength, [17] rigidity, [18] creep resistance, [19] abrasion resistance, [20] and dimensional stability, [21] are improved compared with those of the metal/alloy alone.…”

“…[5] For this purpose, metal matrix composites (MMCs) that incorporate the reinforcing phases to develop nickel-based superalloy matrix composites have attracted much attention in the last years. In MMCs materials, metal elements such as Al, [6,7] Mg, [8,9] Ti, [10,11] Cu, [12,13] Ni, [14,15] etc. and their alloys are used as matrix material, which has the mission of protecting the structural integrity of the material and holding the reinforcing phase together.…”
