Abstract

A High Strength Ti–SiC Metal Matrix Composite

“…Similarly, the strength in compression was found to be ≈3.5 GPa. These properties are superior to similar MMCs reported in the literature including Ti and Al matrix composites . Baik has reported a tensile strength of 1.2 GPa in a Ti‐6‐4/SiC reinforced composite, which is significantly lower than the current study even after considering differences in fibre V f .…”

Experimental Investigation on Mechanical Properties of an Al6061 Hybrid Metal Matrix Composite

“…It is observed from the literature that silicon carbide (SiC), alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), graphite (Gr), silica (SiO 2 ), E-glass fiber, boron carbide (B 4 C), tungsten carbide (WC), granite dust, and fly ash are reported as reinforcement materials for Al6061-based hybrid metal matrix composites. However, silicon carbide (SiC) and alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) are the most commonly employed reinforcement particulates for HAMMCs compared to other synthetic reinforcing materials [2,3].…”

“…It can be used as an effective ceramic reinforcement material for HAMMCs due to the fact that it has high inter-atomic bonding that provides appropriate material characteristics. Al 2 O 3 is found to be more appropriate for high-temperature fabrication techniques and applications [3]. Pitchayyapillai et al [12] made an attempt to develop an HAMMC reinforced with Al 2 O 3 and MoS 2 using a stir-casting method.…”

Processing and Property Evaluation of Nano Al2O3 Reinforced Copper- 5% Tin Composites for Bearing Applications

“…The aluminium metal matrix composites were developed by inducing the micro sized and nano sized particles in the aluminium alloy. The nano particles reinforced nano composites exhibits much higher dimensional stability than micro sized particles reinforced aluminium composites [8].…”
