Metal-matrix composites reinforced with shape memory alloys (SMA, including long fiber,
short fiber, and particle) are “intelligent materials” with many special physical and …

Abstract SiC p/TiNi f/Al composite with 20 Vol.% TiNi fibers were fabricated by pressure
infiltration method. The effect of volume fraction of SiC particle on the mechanical properties …

Abstract Functionally graded Al6061-SiC composites are widely used in the manufacturing
of bearing surfaces, bushes, gears, cylinder liners, pistons and camshafts. However, due to …

The electroless deposition process can develop composite coatings superior in mechanical
and tribological characteristics. The deposited alloy matrix with the reinforcement of a hard …

The past decade has seen an impressive development in shape-memory polymers (SMPs)
with several significant uses. These materials grant a low-priced and environment-friendly …

A new copper based bi-continuous composite was fabricated by infiltrating a preformed
chromium carbide foam with molten copper at elevated temperature. The preformed …

The manuscript discusses the abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) of Al–NiTi and Al–NiTi–
nano SiC composites to understand the influences and the effect of each parameter and to …

In this work, the effect of SiC addition was studied on the transformation temperature and
wear resistance of Cu-Al-Ni shape memory alloys. SiC was added with three different ratios …

Composite materials which main constituent part is a metal are called Metal Matrix
Composites. The other compounds may be metal too, ceramics or even organics. They are …

NiTi shape memory alloys have attracted significant interest due to their unique
superelasticity and high damping performance. In this work, the effect of SiC particle size on …
