This review article focuses on the aluminum-based metal matrix composites (Al-based
MMCs). Studies or investigations of their mechanical and tribological properties performed …

Current work reports on the development of A357 alloy composite which is reinforced with
dual size SiC particles by stir casting route. Influence of different weight fractions (3 …

A novel method has been developed to fabricate SiC/Al composites by the combination of
laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and vacuum-pressure infiltration. The effects of the SiC …

Abstract Al–15 wt.% Mg 2 Si composites were prepared by in situ casting and characterized
in wear tests. Previous to the extrusion of specimens at 470° C–varying extrusion ratio (7.4 …

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are an important class of engineering materials that are
increasingly replacing a number of conventional materials in the automotive, aerospace …

In the quest of novel, reasonable and effective reinforcement, it is very hard to find rare
combination of materials which attempts to accord and benefit each other. The exhausted …

Abstract In situ Mg 2 Si particles often show coarse and irregular morphologies in Al–matrix
composites, which results in inhomogeneous microstructures and poor mechanical …

Three kinds of A356 based composites reinforced with 3 wt.% Al 2 O 3 (average particle
size: 170 μm), 3 wt.% SiC (average particle size: 15 μm), and 3 wt.% of mixed Al 2 O 3–SiC …

Super-gravity field assisted infiltration is reported as an effective method to obtain the nearly
fully-dense Al-Si/SiC composites at relatively lower temperature, which inhibit the interfacial …

Aluminum is widely used in the electrical, automotive, transport and aerospace industries
due to its remarkable properties, such as low density and relatively low costs. However, due …
