Abstract:Lightweight alloys with high performance have become increasing popular in the world of materials engineering and science. In order to obtain high strength for an aluminum matrix alloy, the metal fiber in this work was embedded into the Al-Si-Cu matrix through a vacuum suction casting (VSC) process. Two different metal wires, i.e., copper-coated/copper-uncoated 304 stainless steel, separately, were used to prepare the Al-Si-Cu matrix composite. A microstructure investigation was conducted to study the interfac… Show more
