Aluminum alloys are widely used in engineering structures due to light weight and corrosion
resistance but aluminum has low yielding and flow strengths. Here we reported super-strong …

The effective dispersion and distribution control of reinforcements are crucial factors that
influence the mechanical properties of metal matrix composites. Here, we propose a strategy …

Al matrix composites reinforced with one-dimensional nano-materials (for instance
nanotubes, nanowires and nanofibres) have been widely investigated in the past decade …

Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced Al matrix composites containing high-density
stacking faults were successfully fabricated through spark plasma sintering (SPS) and …

Strength-ductility trade-off dilemma remains a significant obstacle to high-strength
composites due to the undesirable dislocation storability. Herein, an ingenious nano-micro …

Due to the high modulus, high strength, low density, excellent wear resistance and good
neutron absorption, the boron carbide (B 4 C) particle reinforced aluminum (Al) matrix …

Stacking faults (SFs), similar to other planar defects such as grain boundaries, twin
boundaries and heterogeneous interfaces, can be tailored to simultaneously increase …

Abstract Architecture design enables multi-mechanism coordination of strengthening and
toughening to overcome the strength-ductility trade-off in particulate reinforced metal matrix …

The precipitation sequence of 6061Al has changed after introducing high amount SiC
nanowires due to the serious segregation of Mg element. In the present work, 0.8 wt% Mg …

Enhancing the proportional limit of Al matrix composites (AMCs) is critical to the reliability of
precision electronic instruments. In this paper, SiC/Al composites containing stacking faults …
