(MMCs) have made them attractive candidate materials for aerospace, automotive and …

In the past ten years, materials R&D has shifted from monolithic to composite materials,
adjusting to the global need for reduced weight, low cost, quality, and high performance in …

The critical need for high strength, lightweight and high stiffness materials has, in recent
years, resurrected much interest in discontinuously reinforced powder metallurgy metal …

The effect of SiC volume fraction and particle size on the fatigue behavior of 2080 Al was
investigated. Matrix microstructure in the composite and the unreinforced alloy was held …

The damping response of crystalline metals and alloys is generally associated with the
presence of defects in the crystal lattice. The disturbance of these defects, usually in …

Aluminum matrix composites reinforced by CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy (HEA)
particulates were fabricated using the stir casting process. The as-cast specimens were …

Artificial intelligence approach for data-driven design is employed to design an alumina
reinforced aluminium matrix composite (AMC) with improved tribo-mechanical properties …

The tensile deformation and fracture behaviour of aluminium alloy 2124 reinforced with
different amounts of silicon carbide particulates was studied, in the as-extruded and heat …

An optimised balance between weight and stiffness of a car component is achieved when
the selected material exhibits an increased ratio between elastic modulus and density. The …

The effect of intermetallic inclusions on the fatigue crack initiation and growth in 2080 Al
alloy and 2080/SiC p composites was investigated. Using surface replication, it was …
