In this study, the (Al 2 O 3+ AlB 2)/Al composites were in–situ synthesized via chemical
reactions between 90 wt% of Al and 10 wt% of B 2 O 3 powders, followed with hot extrusion …

Strengthening of metals via compositing is accompanied with ductility deterioration. To
evade this deficiency, we proposed intragranulation of nano-reinforcement in aluminum …

Low-density foams with high strength are eagerly desired to use as energy absorption and
shock isolation systems during transportation. In this work, an Al 2 O 3/aluminum matrix …

Cyclic deformation of an Al-Cu-Mg composite strengthened by small non-shareable particles
was firstly investigated through strain controlled low-cycle fatigue (LCF) tests. In comparison …

The little TiC was added into Mo alloys by facile ball milling and subsequent sintering.
Interestingly, ultrafine Mo-TiC alloy (6.53 μm) possesses quasi-cleavage transgranular …

The cold spray (CS) process has been demonstrated to be an attractive additive
manufacturing technology for the development of freeforms and coatings from temperature …

The reaction mechanism of plasma spraying TiO 2-Al composite powder and the formation
mechanism of the in-situ microstructure were revealed through thermal analysis, quenching …

In this study, an Al–based composite reinforced with nanometric γ–Al 2 O 3 and submicron
AlB 2 particles was fabricated via chemical reactions between Al and boron oxide, followed …

Distribution states of reinforcement have considerable impact on the strength and ductility of
metal composites. Herein, we reported a “nanodispersion-in-grains” strategy to …

Spontaneous growth of metal whiskers, represented by tin whiskers, has haunted tin-based
platings and solder joints for decades and caused huge losses to the electronics industry …
