The role of MgAl 2 O 4 particles in Al matrix composites has been very crucial. They have
evolved from acting as a product at the matrix-reinforcement interface of some ex-situ …

In this paper, effects of SiC particle size on the mechanical properties and the failure
mechanisms of Al/SiC composites under compression with strain rates ranging from 0.001 to …

An unconventional approach to strengthening Al/SiC composites through controlled matrix–
reinforcement interfacial reactions was studied. Composites with two distinct interfacial …

Silicon nitride is currently a popular choice as reinforcement to develop light alloy
composites owing to its high hot hardness and excellent wear and corrosion resistance …

The morphological and microstructural changes during mechanical milling of Al powder
mixed with 5vol% nanoscaled alumina particles (35nm) were studied. The milling was …

Non-homogeneous particle distribution is one of the greatest problems in casting metal
matrix composites (MMCs). To optimise some of the parameters for uniform particle …

The machining difficulties and processing costs related to particle reinforced aluminium
matrix composites have limited the application range of these advanced materials. The …

High-energy ball milling was successfully employed to fabricate the metal matrix composite
(MMC) of Al reinforced with SiC particulate (SiCp) with distinct nanocrystalline …

A gas-atomized 7075Al (Al–Zn–Mg–Cu) composite powder reinforced with in-situ nanosized
TiB 2 particles was used as the novel feedstock to fabricate metal matrix composite (MMC) …

During the high-temperature melting process, Al is in full contact with SiC. The interface
bonding properties of composites are closely related to the possibility and multi-directionality …
