Ultrasonication Assisted Fabrication of Aluminum and Magnesium Matrix Nanocomposites - A Review

Abstract

Recent researches in the domain of casting confirmed that the mechanical properties of aluminum and magnesium based nanocomposites can be appreciably enhanced when ultrasonic cavitation assisted solidification processing is used. Ultrasonic cavitation assisted solidification processing is used for the manufacturing of aluminum and magnesium alloy based metal matrix nanocomposites reinforced with nanoceramic particles. In this solidification processing, formation of clusters have been minimized and the nanoreinforcements were distributed uniformly in aluminum and magnesium matrix nanocomposites. The ultrasonic assisted casting approach will manage the grain dimensions via minimizing agglomeration of nanoparticles in metal matrices. This paper opinions the properties and morphology of aluminum and magnesium based metal matrix nanocomposites fabricated through ultrasonic assisted casting process.

Impact of nano‐SiCP and nano‐hBNP on the corrosion performance and fatigue behavior of Mg–Zn hybrid nanocomposites

“…Sonic streaming improves nanoparticle movement and homogeneous dispersal in the liquid melt at the same time. [40][41][42] A review of the literature reveals that there has been little research into the corrosion and stress-dependent high cycle fatigue characteristics of hybrid nanoparticulatereinforced Mg-Zn alloys. The effects of hybrid nanoreinforcement (SiC P + hBN P ) weight percent on the mechanical, corrosion, and fatigue strength of Mg nanocomposites manufactured using an ultrasonication-assisted squeeze casting process were investigated in this study.…”
