Abstract:SiC particulate reinforced aluminum metal matrix composites (SiCp/Al MMCs) are characterized by controllable thermal expansion, high thermal conductivity and lightness. These properties, in fact, define the new promotional material in areas and industries such as the aerospace, automotive and electrocommunication industries. However, the poor weldability of this material becomes its key problem for large-scale applications. Sintering bonding technology was developed to join SiCp/Al MMCs. Cu nanoparticles and l… Show more
“…The report by Gao et al [ 4 ] addresses the sintering bonding of SiC-particle-reinforced Al matrix composites using Cu nanoparticles and liquid Ga as self-fluxing fillers. Based on microstructural and mechanical analysis, they report that the metal matrix composites can be tuned with respect to joint strength and gas tightness by adjusting the Cu nanoparticles and the sintering temperature.…”
Nanocomposites bear the potential to enable novel material properties that considerably exceed the capabilities of their individual constituent phases, thereby enabling the exploration of white areas on material property charts [...]
