During the past decade, considerable research effort has been directed towards the
development of in situ metal matrix composites (MMCs), in which the reinforcements are …

Metal matrix composites provide significantly enhanced properties—like higher strength,
stiffness and weight savings—in comparison to conventional monolithic materials. Particle …

Offers information on the fundamental principles, processes, methods and procedures
related to fibre-reinforced composites. The book presents a comparative view, and provides …

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 …

This paper studied the combined effects of particle size and distribution on the mechanical
properties of the SiC particle reinforced Al–Cu alloy composites. It has been shown that …

Because in-situ composites offer such a wide selection of reinforcement types, size, and
volume fractions, understanding the mechanisms controlling mechanical properties will …

Al matrix composites reinforced by spherical intermetallic particles, were consolidated from
gas atomized elemental Al and Al–Cu–Fe alloy fine powders (< 10μm) by a vacuum hot …

This paper studied the combined effects of extrusion and reinforcement volume fraction on
the mechanical properties of SiC particles reinforced Al–Cu alloy composites. It has been …

The correlation between tensile and indentation behavior in particle-reinforced metal matrix
composites (MMCs) was examined. The model composite system consists of a Al–Cu–Mg …

This paper studied the combined effects of matrix-to-reinforcement particle size ratio (PSR)
and SiC volume fraction on the mechanical properties of extruded Al–SiC composites. A …
