In metal matrix composites, a metal is combined with another, often nonmetallic, phase to
produce a novel material having attractive engineering attributes of its own. A subject of …

The strengthening behavior of particle-reinforced metal–matrix composites (MMCp) is
primarily attributed to the dislocation strengthening effect and the load-transfer effect. To …

The tensile behaviour of composites produced by infiltrating ceramic particle beds with high
purity (99.99%) Al is studied as a function of reinforcement size and chemistry (Al2O3 and …

In this paper, high temperature titanium matrix composites with different volume fraction of
(TiB+ TiC) reinforcements were in situ synthesized by casting route. The microstructure and …

By incorporating the Taylor-based nonlocal theory of plasticity, the finite element method
(FEM) is applied to investigate the effect of particle size on the deformation behavior of the …

One of the most beneficial property improvements that can be realised using metal matrix
composite technology is the ability to increase the relatively low stiffness and hardness of …

More and more experiments have shown that particle-reinforced metal matrix composites
(PMMC) exhibit obvious size effects. The aclassic plasticity theory does not contain internal …

Constitutive modeling for the particle size effect on the strength of particulate-reinforced
metal matrix composites is investigated. The approach is based on a gradient-dependent …

Oxide-dispersion-strengthened aluminum containing 25 vol.%, 0.28 μm, alumina
dispersoids was fabricated by pressure infiltration. The mechanical properties at room and …

Gas pressure assisted liquid metal infiltration was employed in the fabrication of various
high volume fraction B4C–Al composites. Two reaction products were observed and …
