The internal load transfer and the deformation behaviour of aluminium–matrix composites
reinforced with 2D-random alumina (Saffil®) short fibres was studied for different loading …

This paper proposes an effective method for evaluating the level of material damage using
the non-specular reflection of a bounded ultrasonic beam at a liquid-solid interface. Non …

An Al–Mg–Si alloy matrix composite reinforced with 10 vol.% of alumina whiskers (Al2O3w)
has been processed by powder metallurgy and investigated. The Al2O3w were produced as …
