Full textAbstract:
The fabrication processing, mechanical properties and fracture characters of SiCp/AZ91 magnesium matrix composites fabricated by squeeze casting were investigated. The SiC particles with different diameters (5μm, 20μm and 50μm) were employed as the reinforcement in the composites, the volume fraction of them was 50% in all cases. Experimental results showed that when the size of SiC particle decreased, the tensile properties of the composite increased. The tensile properties of SiCp/AZ91 composite with small particles are controlled by the properties of matrix alloy and the strength of the interface between the matrix and reinforcements, but the composites reinforced by large particles are controlled by the fracture of the particles.

To study the influence of particle’s characteristics on mechanical properties of the metal-matrix composites (MMCs), A two-dimensional randomly-distributed ellipsoidal particles finite element model was proposed and the tensile process of composites was simulated. The effects of adding proportion, geometrical parameters and attribute features of the particle-reinforcement on elastic modulus of composite were investigated and analyzed. The results show that there are several factors affect elastic modulus of the composite, including the adding proportion, elastic modulus, shape, size and tilt angle of the particles, etc. Among them, the elastic modulus and adding proportion of the reinforcement can primarily enhance the elastic modulus of the composite by 25% - 40% and 50% or more respectively, while the effects of particle shape, size and tilt angle on composite’s elastic modulus is relatively minor.

The evaluation of physical and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) properties was carried out using developed CHA Reinforced Polymer Composite. Sieve analysis of pretreated CHA was done to obtain 75 µm, 150 µm and 300 µm particles sizes. These particles were used at varying compositions of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% as reinforcements for polyester composites. The catalyst and accelerator used were Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide and Cobalt Naphthenate respectively. The densities of the evaluated composites made with 150 μm particles were found to be less dense with values ranging from 0.9792 g/cm3 to 1.2561 g/cm3 than those made with 75μm and 300μm. The results also show that the percentage water absorbed by samples increased, ranging from 0 to over 2000 E’/MPa for all percentage reinforcements of CHA, with an increase in the duration of immersion of the samples in distilled water. However, 25% reinforcement had better results for all particle sizes. There were obvious variations of storage modulus, loss modulus and mechanical loss factor with percentage weight of reinforcement, temperature and frequency. The composite with 15 % reinforcement displayed better results and can be used as a material for interior components in aerospace and automobile industries.

The present research has been made to investigate the characteristics of a new composite material made up of limestone as particle reinforcement. New composites are made by taking limestone particles in five different sizes and jute as woven reinforcement in polypropylene matrix. Mechanical characteristics of the composites that include strengths against tension, compression, flexural, impact and hardness are evaluated and a comparative investigation is made among the composites. The effect of particle size on the properties is analysed and found that the composite with medium particle size bears the highest strength in all aspects. In addition, microscopic image analysis is carried out to investigate the distribution of particles, bonding capacity and other morphologies. The results showed that limestone will be apt particle reinforcement and its presence enhances all the characteristics of the composite.

SiC particles were coated with copper and nickel respectively through electroless plating process to investigate the plating effect on mechanical properties of SiCp/Fe composites. It shows that tensile strength and final elongation of the composite improve significantly after the plating treatment of SiC particles. Compared with the composite reinforced by uncoated one, the maximum increase of tensile strength is 20.1% reinforced by nickel-coated SiC particles with the particle size of 21μm and volume fraction of 20%. The maximum tensile strength among the SiCp/Fe composites reaches 928.3MPa where the composite is reinforced by nickel-coated SiC particles with the particle size of 13μm and volume fraction of 10%. In contrast with that reinforced by uncoated SiC particles, the highest increment of final elongation is 19.6% reinforced by copper-coated SiC particle with the particle size of 13μm and volume fraction of 20%. Electroless plating on SiC particle surface may effectively prevent the direct contact in the interfaces between the SiC particles which can reduce the risk of micro-crack formation, so as to improve the properties of composite.

In this work Al-7wt%Si-10wt%SiCp composites were produced by injection of the reinforcement in the form of SiCp particles or a specially made particulate composite powder of aluminum and SiCp into the melt of proper composition at a temperature corresponding to 10% solid fraction. This paper presents the results of the investigation on the effects of reinforcement addition form, reinforcement addition temperature, stirring speed and magnesium addition on the incorporation and distribution of the reinforcement particles. The results showed that incorporation of SiCp particles was considerably improved by their injection in the form of milled Al/SiCp composite powder. Better particle wetting, improved particle dispersion and reduced particles size were achieved by injection of milled Al/SiCp composite powder instead of SiCp powder. Magnesium addition and high temperature injection were necessary for achieving good incorporation. Reinforcement incorporation was improved by increasing the stirring speed up to 500 rpm, after which the incorporation decreased slowly.

Metal matrix composites are widely applied in the automotive and aircraft structural components. This work investigates the influence of mechanical and corrosion properties hybrid aluminium 2024 metal matrix composites having 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of TiC and B4C (equal amount) reinforcement compositions. The increase in volume fraction of B4C and TiC particle in matrix alloy increases the hardness, yield strength, ultimate strength and decreases the ductility of the composite. SEM images show microstructure of the composites with particles having a different volume percentage of reinforcement. The uniform distribution of B4C and TiC particles is most predominant in composite fabrication and the reinforcement particle additions have proved improved corrosion resistance in AA2024–B4C–TiC MMCs.

Hybrid composites are obtained by embedding multiple micro and nano reinforcements into the matrix materials. These hybrid composites are helpful to obtain the useful properties of matrix and reinforcement materials. Aluminum matrix is one the most common matrix materials due to its excellent thermal and electrical properties. This review covers various aspects of nanoparticle-reinforced Al hybrid composites. Solid-state recycling of Al only consumes around 5% of the energy utilized in the conventional extraction and recycling methods. This review revolves around the induction of silica and copper oxide nanoparticles into the solid-state recycled Al matrix material to form the hybrid composite. These nanoparticles enhance stiffness, toughness, and high temperature stability for Al hybrid composites. A detailed analysis was carried out for AA6061-grade Al matrix materials along with the silica and copper oxide nanoparticles. The present work focused on the effects of nano silica and nano copper oxide particle reinforcements on Al-based composite manufactured via hot extrusion process. The composite fabrication through solid-state recycling is discussed in detail. A detailed analysis for the effects of volume fraction and wt.% of CuO and SiO2 reinforcement particles was carried out by various characterization techniques. A detailed comparison in terms of mechanical performance of Al-based composites with the addition of nano silica and nano copper oxide particles is presented here to investigate the efficiency and performance of these particles.

Mechanical characteristic of silicon carbide particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites produced by semi solid stir casting technique was investigated. Al7Si and Al7SiMg were used as metal matrix. High purity silicon carbida with average particle size mesh 400 was used as reinforcement particle. Aluminum matrix composites with variation of SiC: 5 %, 7.5 % and 10 % wt were manufactured by the semi solid stir casting technique. Stiring process was performed by 45 ° degree carbide impeller at rotation of 600 rpm and temperature of 570 °C for 15 minutes. Characteritation of composites speciment were: microscopic examination, density, hardness, tensile and impact test. Hardness and density were tested randomly at top, midlle and bottom of composites product. Based on distribution of density, distribution of hardness and SEM photomicrograph, it can be concluded that semisolid stir casting produces the uniform distribution of particles in the matrix alloy. The results also indicate that introducing SiC reinforcement in aluminum matrix increases the hardness of Al7Si composite and Al7SiMg composite. Calculated porosities increases with increasing wt % of SiC reinforcements in composite. The addition of 1 % Mg also increases the hardness of composites, reduces porosities of composite and enhances the mechanical properties of composites.

Fe52Cr15Mo26C3B1Y3 amorphous particle-reinforced pure aluminum (Al) matrix composite was prepared by powder metallurgy. The ferrum (Fe)-based amorphous particles prepared by atomization method have good amorphous structure, and the circular reinforcement particles are evenly distributed in the Al matrix. The composite has high strength, hardness, and excellent corrosion resistance. The hardness of the composite increases gradually with the increase in the content of the reinforcement, from 46 Vickers hardness (HV) of pure Al to 220.5 HV, with remarkable effect. The tensile strength of the composite increases first and then decreases with the increase in the content of the reinforcement. When the content of reinforcement is 15%, the maximum tensile strength is 234 MPa, which is 154% higher than that of pure Al. The fracture mode of the composite is the mixture of plastic fracture and brittle fracture. The corrosion resistance of pure Al is significantly improved by the addition of reinforcements, which shows that the composite has a smaller corrosion current density and a more positive corrosion potential than that of pure Al.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, the effect of microstructural characteristics on the mechanical properties of high-chromium white cast iron-matrix composites reinforced by in situ TiC and ex situ WC was investigated. To this end, two different powder mixtures (Ti + Al + graphite and WC + Fe) were compressed to produce green compacts that were inserted into the mold, before casting. The microstructure of the resulting composites and the base metal was characterized using optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). The microstructural analysis revealed a sound bonding between the composite zone and the base metal. The reinforcement with WC particles showed a homogeneous distribution of the carbide particles, unlike the reinforcement with TiC particles. The mechanical properties of the reinforcements were evaluated using hardness and ball-cratering micro-abrasion tests. The results showed that both reinforcements increase the hardness and wear performance of the base material, which was the best performance achieved by the reinforcement with WC particles.

The present study aims to analyze the effect of particle size on nature of microstructural features and wear behavior of composite. Stir casting route has been adopted for the fabrication of aluminium matrix composite using Al-Si LM13 piston alloy. Composites have been developed by varyig the size of zircon sand particles while keeping the SiC particles of same size. Microstructural analysis shows that SiC has a pronounced effect on the microstructure and eutectic silicon refinement. Microstructure evolution is mainly governed by the thermal conductivity difference between two phase’s i.e. ceramic particle and alloy matrix. The dendritic ripening is also observed in the composites in microstructural study. EDS analysis reveals the formation of mechanically mixed layer in the composites enabling better wear properties. Fine size zircon sand particle reinforced composite exhibits better wear resistance than coarse particle at same weight percentage of reinforcement. The SiC reinforcement is better as compared to zircon sand particles for enhancing wear resistance of the composite. Silicon carbide refines the eutectic silicon whereas zircon sand provides good interfacial bonding. SEM examination of worn surface and wear debris shows that the various wear mechanism are involved in material removal.

In recent times, it could be observed that metal matrix composites receive considerable importance on account of improved properties compared to unreinforced alloys which includes high specific strength, specific modulus, damping capacity and good wear resistance. Interest in composites containing low density and low cost reinforcements has been since growing. Among various discontinuous particulate, silica is one of the most inexpensive and low density reinforcement available in large quantities. Hence, composites with aluminium oxide as reinforcement after the in-situ reaction of aluminium and silica are likely to overcome the cost barrier for wide spread applications in automotive and small engine applications. It is therefore expected that the incorporation of aluminium oxide particles in aluminium alloy will improve the mechanical properties of base material that will see increased usage in aircraft application due to reduced weight. In this research an effect on aluminum matrix composite reinforced with nano sized silica particles with different weight percentage was carried out. From the results it was found that the composites with 4 to 6wt% particle volume fraction to be the best with good tensile strength, yield stress and percentage elongation.

To develop a novel separation technique of matrix alloys from metal matrix composite, separation experiments for various kinds of particle reinforced metal matrix composites (PRMMCs) were carried out. The Al-4mass%Cu alloy, Al-7mass%Si alloy and cast iron were used as matrix. The SiC particles (particle size: 75μm) and Al2O3 particles (particle size: 120μm) were used as reinforcement. The PRMMC specimen was placed in a silica tube container with a small nozzle (nozzle size: 0.75mm) at the bottom and was melted by H.F. induction heating. Then the molten PRMMC specimen was forced to flow out through the nozzle by applying a certain pressure of Ar gas. Most of the molten matrix alloy flowed out through the nozzle and the remainder in the container consisted of the reinforcements and a part of the matrix alloy. The amount of separated matrix alloy increased with decreasing the volume fraction of reinforcement particles in PRMMC specimens. With decreasing the fabrication temperature from 1273K to 1073K, the amount of matrix alloy separated from SiCP/Al-7mass%Si alloy composites increased. It is considered that a reaction layer formed on the surface of SiC particles at 1273K improves the wettability between the molten matrix alloy and SiC particle, which prevents the separation of molten matrix alloy from reinforcements. On the other hand, the amount of separated matrix alloy from 20vol% Al2O3P/cast iron composites was very high due to no reaction layer formed at interface between Al2O3 particle and cast iron.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the use of BLA along with SiC as economical reinforcements to enhance the mechanical behavior of hybrid composite. The purpose of this research is the development of cost-effective aluminum hybrid metal matrix composites. Design/methodology/approach The present research work investigation evaluated the mechanical properties of Al-4.5%Cu alloy, Al-4.5Cu/10SiC, Al-4.5Cu/10SiC/2BLA and Al-4.5Cu/10SiC/4BLA composites by the Stir casting method. The fabricated composites were analyzed using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and hardness and tensile test. Findings The microstructure modification with the addition of reinforcement particles in the matrix alloy and clear interface in between matrix and particles are observed. The density of the composite increased with the addition of SiC and decreased with the addition of BLA in comparison with that of matrix alloy. The hardness and tensile strength of the single-reinforced composite and hybrid composites improved with the addition of reinforcement particles. The strengthening of composites was due to load-bearing capacity of reinforcement particles over the matrix alloy and increased dislocation density of composites materials. The tensile failure mechanism of the composites is reveled with SEM analysis. Practical implications The papers reports the development of cost-effective and light weight aluminum hybrid composites with remarkable enhancement in the mechanical and tribological properties with the addition of BLA as economical reinforcement along with SiC. Originality/value The density, hardness and tensile values of fabricated aluminium composites were presented in this paper for the use in the engineering applications where the weight and cost are consider as a primary factors.

Lightweight materials with low-cost production have been developed in recent years. The addition of ceramics and oxide particles such as Al2O3, SiC, and SiO2 has been improving in the mechanical properties of aluminum matrix composites (AMCs). As a solution, the use of natural reinforcing material continues to investigate. This paper investigates sea sand as an alternative reinforcement to AMCs. The Al 6061 was used as the matrix and sea sand as reinforcement. The manufacturing of the composite was conducted by stir casting route with variation 0, 2, 4, 6 %wt of the reinforcement. The composite was tested in hardness and tensile strength, the hardness test was obtained according to ASTM E-10, and the tensile test was conducted according to JIS Z2201 standard. Composite density decreases linearly with the addition of the reinforcement from 2 %wt to 6%wt, and the same phenomenon is obtained in porosity, the porosity increases with the addition of sea sand particles from 2%wt to 6%wt. The decline in density due to the lower density of sea sand particles compared to the aluminum matrix. Higher the sea sand particle that disperses into the matrix resulted in a lower density of the composite. Increasing porosity caused a higher fraction of reinforcement resulting in wider surface contact between matrix and reinforcement that promote the porosity. The hardness and ultimate tensile strength of AMCs increase with increasing of sea sand particles content. The presence of an oxide compound on the sea sand increased the mechanical properties of the composite. Increasing in mechanical properties indicate the sea sand particle dispersed into the matrix and sea sand can be used as engineering purpose material.

The mechanical properties of composite materials with glassy carbon (GC) have been presented. The effect of size and reinforcement value on tensile strength, impact and tribological characteristics (coefficient of friction and wear) were estimated. It has been found that the reinforcement value decide on mechanical properties. Enlargement of particles value leads to decreasing of tensile strength and impact strength. It has been shown that particle size has small influence on studied properties. Destruction energy for the composites with particles exceeding 100 µm is similar. The measurement of coefficient of friction proved, that increase of reinforcement value leads to decreasing of coefficient of friction from 0.4 for 5% value to about 0.12 for 20% of particle value. The coefficient of friction is comparable for the composites containing particles of 200 µm size and is less dependent on reinforcement value. However size of the particles decide on the character of coefficient of friction changes.

The particle-reinforced composite solder is prepared by adding 1 μm Ag, 1 μm Ni and 8 μm Cu into Sn0.7Cu eutectic solder which serve as the base material in current research. The formation of a thin layer of intermetallics around the particle-reinforced will promote the closer integration between base-solder and particle-reinforced, and thus form the particle-reinforced composite solder. The appropriate reinforcement particles were selected and the effects of reinforcement particles on physical properties, mechanical properties and solderability of the composite solder were studied. The spreading property of Ni (3 vol %) particle-reinforced Sn0.7Cu based composite solder was the worst among Sn0.7Cu based composite solders. The spreading property of the Cu particle-reinforced Sn0.7Cu based composite solder was worse than those of Ag particle-reinforced Sn0.7Cu based composite solders. So the conclusion is drawn that Ag particles are considered as the most appropriate reinforced particles for Sn0.7Cu based composite solders.

This work aims to investigate the effect of the addition of silicon carbide particles on the microstructure and the hardness of the Al-SiC metal matrix composites. The said composite is prepared using the stir casting technique for different weight percentages of the SiC particles. The higher composition of the reinforcement causes the clustering of the particles in the matrix. Thus, research has to be carried out on the aluminum-silicon carbide composites with the reinforcement 3wt%, 6wt%, 9wt%, and 12wt% of SiC particles to obtain the optimized composition. In order to study the microstructure and the reinforcement distribution in the matrix, a scanning electron microscope is utilized. The hardness testing has been carried out using the Vickers’ indentation technique for the as-cast and age hardening conditions. From the microstructural study, it is observed that the microstructure of the said composite exhibits the uniform distribution of the reinforcement. The EDX results show the presence of the reinforcing elements in the Al-SiC composite. From the results obtained from the hardness testing, it is observed that the presence of the carbide element in the composite increases the hardness of the Al-SiC particulate composites.

Abstract The introduction of new reinforcing materials continues to be investigated to improve the final behaviour of AMCs as well as to avoid some drawbacks of using ceramics as reinforcement. The present work investigates the structure, properties and ability of joining aluminium EN-AW 6061 matrix composite materials reinforced with Ti3Al particles by resistance butt welding as well as composite materials produced by mechanical milling, powder metallurgy and hot extrusion techniques. Mechanically milled and extruded composites show finer and better distribution of reinforcement particles, which leads to better mechanical properties of the obtained products. Finer microstructure improves mechanical properties of obtained composites. The hardness increases twice in the case of mechanically milled composites also, a higher reinforcement content results in higher particle dispersion hardening, for 15 wt.% of intermetallics reinforcement concentration composites reach about 400 MPa UTS. Investigation results of joints show that best hardness and tensile properties of joints can be achieved by altering soft conditions of butt welding process e.g. current flow time 1.2 s and current 1400 A. To improve mechanical properties of butt welding joints age hardening techniques can also be used.

The in-situ synthesis of ceramic particles in Al-matrix composites gives an uniform and homogeneous microstructure. The matrix reinforcement interface is compatible with the matrix, interface is clean and provides good interface bonding. The evenly distributed sub micron sized reinforcement particles in Al-matrix enhances the strength and toughness of the composite. The formation of particle clusters and agglomerations are minimized or eliminated by suitably choosing the in-situ process parameters. Large particles and agglomerate are easily fractured where as evenly distributed fine particles are resistant to crack propagation and improves the strength of the composites. The problem encountered with the formation of secondary intermetallic Al3Ti and Al4C3 phases are addressed.

Full textAbstract:
To obtain flakes like zirconia particles at relatively low temperature, the synthesis method for producing zirconia particles on the surface of salt particles that serve as a template is examined. The produced particles are incorporated as reinforcement in the poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix to obtain a composite material. The particles were characterized by the X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and image analysis. The morphology of the particles and composites was examined using a field emission scanning electron microscope. Composites prepared with synthesized particles were compared to those containing commercial zirconia particles to estimate the possibility of use of synthesized particles as reinforcement. The influence of the 1 wt% of zirconia particles in composite material on the mechanical properties was studied using microhardness measurements and dynamic mechanical analysis. The results obtained show that the addition of 1 wt% of zirconia particles increases the mechanical properties of the composite relative to the pure polymer matrix.

Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) constitute an important category of design and weight-efficient materials. This article highlights on the work where an attempt is taken to fabricate aluminium matrix composite reinforced with rice husk ash (RHA) particles, an agricultural byproduct with high amount of silica. RHA particles, upon analysis, are incorporated into the Al matrix melt by stir casting. Magnesium (~1%) is used as a wetting agent between matrix and reinforcement. 3, 6 and 9% wt. of RHA are added into the matrix. The microstructure analysis reveals the reinforcing particle distribution inside the matrix which indicates successful fabrication of the composites. The density and mechanical properties such as strength and hardness are measured for both unreinforced metal and composites. The results found in the tests show a decrease in density with increasing reinforcement while increasing yield strength, ultimate strength and hardness of the composites with increasing reinforcement from the unreinforced condition.

Full textAbstract:
In-situ aluminum matrix composite is the innovation of high performance material technology and it has superior interfacial integrity and thermodynamic stability between the matrix and reinforcement. During synthesis, the ZrB2 particle is formed by exothermic reaction within the aluminum melt. As a result, small, fine and oxide free reinforcements are formed. Excessive temperature released from in-situ chemical reaction will facilitate the homogeneous distribution of particles in entire shape of the composites. Making the engineering components from this composite material require machining operations. Therefore, addressing the machinability issues of the composite is very important. This paper proposes an approach to optimize the machining parameters in turning of Al 6061-6% ZrB2 in-situ Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) with multiple performance characteristics by using grey relational analysis. The effect of in-situ ZrB2 reinforcement particles on machinability behavior need to be studied. The machining parameters, namely cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut are optimized with considerations of multiple performance characteristics including surface roughness, tool wear and cutting force. It is concluded that the feed rate has the strongest effect. The confirmation experiment indicates that there is a good agreement between the estimated value and experimental value of the Grey relational grade.

Full textAbstract:
The influences of weight percentage of different reinforcement particles such as SiC particles, waste uncarbonized eggshell particles, carbonized eggshell particles, and CaCO3 powder were compared in the processing of aluminium-based metal matrix composite. The results revealed that by the addition of SiC particles up to 10 wt.% and waste eggshell particles up to 12.5 wt.% in AA2014 matrix alloy, the tensile strength, hardness, and fatigue strength increased. Toughness and ductility decreased by the addition of SiC and eggshell particles in AA2014 matrix alloy. Corrosion rate decreased by the addition of SiC particle up to 7.5 wt.% and eggshell particles up to 12.5 wt.%. Results showed that hardness and heat-treatable properties are improved after the addition of SiC reinforcement particles in AA2014 aluminium alloy as compared to eggshell particles. However, porosity and overall cost increased after addition of SiC particles in AA2014 alloy. Corrosion rate increased after the heat treatment for all reinforced metal matrix composite. These results showed that using the carbonized eggshell as reinforcement in the AA2014 alloy gave better physical properties at lower cost as compared to SiC particles. Proper wettability was observed between matrix and reinforcement material for both carbonized eggshell particles and SiC particles. No wettability was observed between AA2014 alloy and CaCO3 reinforcement particles. Poor wettability reduced the mechanical properties of AA2014/CaCO3 metal matrix composite.

Full textAbstract:
Composites of recycled low-density polyethylene obtained from waste water-sachets and imperata cylindrica were produced with particulate and long-fibre unidirectional mat reinforcements. Comparison was made of the tensile and impact properties resulting from the use of the different reinforcement forms at 10 wt% ratio in the matrix. The results obtained from the tests carried out revealed that tensile strength, tensile modulus, elongation at break and impact strength of the composite with the long-fibre mat reinforcement were better than those of the one composite with the particulate reinforcement. The better performance observed in the long-fibre mat reinforcement could be attributed to the retention of the toughness and stiffness of the imperata cylindrica stem in this form of reinforcement, which is lost after the stem strands are pulverized into particles. Imperata cylindrica stem, as a natural fibre reinforcement for polymetric material is, therefore, recommended in the long-fibre mat form. The combination of these otherwise challenging resources in composite materials development will add economic value to them and help to reduce the nvironmental menace they present.

Full textAbstract:
Three arrangements of reinforced A356-based composites were fabricated. Samples with 3 wt% Al2O3 (average particle size: 170 µm), 3 wt% SiC (average particle size: 15 µm), and 3 wt% of mixed Al2O3–SiC powders (each reinforcement 1.5 wt%) were fabricated. The novel fabrication process of two-step stir casting followed by rolling was utilized. Analysis of the effect of using bimodal-sized ceramic particles and process parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites was examined. Electroless deposition of nickel was used to improve the wettability of the ceramic reinforcements by the molten metal. From microstructural characterization, it was found that fine SiC particles were agglomerated, including when coated with Ni–P. It was also revealed that the rolling process broke the fine silicon platelets within the A356 matrix, which were mostly observed around the Al2O3 particles. The processed microstructure of the composite was altered in comparison to conventionally cast A356 MMC by translocation of the fractured silicon particles, by improving the distribution of fine SiC particles, and by elimination of porosities remaining after casting. A good bonding quality at matrix–ceramic interface was formed during casting and no significant improvement was found in this regard after the rolling process. The mechanical properties of the composites tested showed that the samples, which contained the bimodal ceramic particle distribution of coarse Al2O3 and fine SiC particles produced the highest levels of composite strength and hardness.

5052 Al matrix composites reinforced with carbide particles (SiC, TiC, and B4C) were fabricated by the pressureless infiltration and the tensile properties were analyzed. The strength values in the control Al were significantly increased over those of the commercial alloy while the strain to failure of the former decreased. Strength values in the composite reinforced with carbide particles were further increased compared to the control alloys. It was observed that strengthening effect by an addition of reinforcement varied with according to reinforcement types. By relative comparison, both TiC and B4C particles may be effective reinforcement compared to SiC particles in Al matrix composites.

It is well known that the properties of a metal matrix composites depend upon the properties of the reinforcement phase, of the matrix and of the interface. A strong interface bonding without any degradation of the reinforcing phase is one of the prime objectives in the development of the metal matrix composites. Therefore, the objective of this work is to characterize the interface structure of WE43/SiC particles composite. Magnesium alloys containing yttrium and neodymium are known to have high specific strength, good creep and corrosion resistance up to 250°C. The addition of SiC ceramic particles strengthens the metal matrix composite resulting in better wear and creep resistance while maintaining good machinability. In the present study, WE43 magnesium matrix composite reinforced with SiC particulates was fabricated by stir casting. The SiC particles with 15 μm, 45 μm and 250 μm diameter were added to the WE43 alloy. The microstructure of the composite was investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy and XRD analysis. YSi and Y2Si reaction products are observed at the interfaces between SiC particles and WE43 matrix in the composite stirred at 780°C. Microstructure characterization of WE43 MMC with the 45 μm, stirred at 720°C showed relative uniform reinforcement distribution. Moreover, the Zr-rich particles at particle/matrix interface were visible instead of Y-Si phases. In the case of composite with 15 μm particles the numerous agglomerates and reaction products between SiC particles and alloying elements were observed. The presence of SiC particles assisted in improving hardness and decreasing the tensile strength and plastic properties.

Hybrid metal matrix composites (MMCs) were prepared with AA 5754 as matrix and B4C (fixed with 1 wt.% and average particle size as 25 μm) and Al2O3 reinforcements (varied from 0.5 to 2 wt. % with the interval of 0.5 and average particle size as 50 nm) using Rheo-squeeze casting process. Microstructure images were taken to observe the uniform distribution of reinforcement particles on the matrix alloy. The tensile strength for AA 5754 with 1 wt.% B4C and 2 wt.% Al2O3 hybrid composite showed higher value compared to base alloy and other composites. The wt. % of Al2O3 in the composite is increased to 2 %, the tensile strength and compressive strength were also increased due to combined Rheo-squeeze casting. AA 5754 reinforced with 1 wt.% B4C and 1.5 wt.% Al2O3 MMC indicated the Impact strength value of 30 Joules which is higher than AA 5754 matrix alloy and other compositions.

This research work focuses about fabrication and investigation on the influence of Titanium Carbide (TiC)-graphite particles reinforcement in wear behavior of Aluminium Matrix Composites (AMC). The stir casting technique was used to fabricate AMC reinforced with various weight percentage of TiC and graphite particles. Wear tests were conducted by using pin-on-disc wear testing machine. The hardness of the hybrid composites were recorded on the test specimen. The worn out surfaces of composites were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Results reveal that the presence of TiC and graphite particles improved the wear resistance. The wear of composite is primarily due to delamination and abrasion. The graphite particles serve as the solid lubricant on the wear of composite. The hardness of composite is improved with the decrease in weight percentage of graphite. SEM images reveal that the reinforcement particles in the matrix are homogeneously distributed. Also, worn-out surfaces of the composite were studied to observe wear track and wear mechanisms like plowing grooves, crack or cutting, and fragmentation.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the structural, wear and thermal behaviour of Cu–Al2O3–graphite hybrid metal matrix composites. Copper matrix composites with Al2O3–graphite reinforcement (0.5-0.5, 1.0-1.0, 1.5-1.5 and 2.0-2.0 wt%) were prepared by stir casting process. Phase, microstructure, density, hardness, wear, compressive strength and specific heat of prepared samples have been investigated. X-ray diffraction revealed that there is no intermediate phase formation between matrix and reinforcement phase as a result of interfacial bonding between them. Microstructure study shows the uniform distribution of Al2O3–graphite particles in the Cu-matrix. Density and hardness were found to decrease with increase in reinforcements percentage whereas the compressive strength was found to increase as the amount of reinforcements was increased. Composite containing 2.0 wt% reinforcements showed the maximum resistance to wear. Specific heat was found to increase with addition of reinforcements; however, this increase was very marginal. Structural, wear and thermal properties of these Cu matrix-based hybrid metal matrix composites were found to be dependent on the reinforcements concentration. It is expected that the present composite will be useful for heat exchanger and heat sink applications.

Aluminum alloys have been increasingly applied as a structural material in composite materials using metal matrix due to their excellent mechanical properties and low weight. The reinforcement are of fundamental importance in composite materials, owing to the their responsibility to support stresses acting on the metal matrix. Therefore, ceramic reinforcements can be replaced by intermetallic components with high mechanical properties and good thermal stability. The intermetallic components react chemically with the matrix, characterized by strong interactions, which makes possible the development of the new families of materials. The composite materials using aluminum reinforced with nickel aluminides and ceramic were developed using techniques based on a combination of powder metallurgy and extrusion processes, which makes possible to obtain more dense materials under lower processing temperatures. The powders of AA6061 and Ni3Al were manually mixed for 30 minutes, with different percentages of intermetallics and ceramics particles, 5 and 10% in weight. The composite powders were submitted to a hot extrusion process for 40 minutes at 540oC, and 385 MPa, with a reduction ratio of 25:1. This process insures extruded composites with a refined structure and a good distribution of the reinforcement particles. The material characterization were performed through structural analysis via scanning electron microscopy; mechanical behavior via tensile and hardening tests; and analysis of the fracture. The results show that the method used is effective to obtain composite materials with improved characteristics.

In the current scenario, the development of high strength and low weight material is the demand of the aerospace defence organizations. Magnesium alloy based composite has low density, good mechanical and physical properties. In this study, magnesium alloy AZ31B is used as reinforcement material and graphene nanoparticle is used as reinforcement material. Stir casting technique is used for the development of composite material. Three weight percentages i.e. 0.4%, 0.8% and 1.2% are used for the casting. The microstructural analysis is performed to validate the presence of graphene particles in the developed composite. Further mechanical properties such as tensile strength, hardness and toughness are evaluated. Experimental results confirm that GNPs particles are uniformly distributed into the matrix material. It was observed that due to the reinforcement of GNPs particles tensile strength of the material is improved by 31.17%, hardness is improved about 46.9%. However, the peak value of toughness is observed 12.6 Jule/cm2 in the matrix material, it decreases by increasing the wt% of reinforcement particle and lowest value of toughness of 6.82 Jule/cm2 is observed in AZ31B/1.2%GNP composite.

Metal composite materials are not being extensively used because of their complex processing, agglomeration and dispersion of particles in case of discontinuous reinforcement. Significant amount of research work has been carried to understand and improve primary processing of metal composites using liquid processing route. Most of the research revealed the fact that composites were cast either in plate geometry or geometry of crucible. Present work mainly focuses to examine effect of mold cavity geometries on dispersion of particles in solidifying composite slurries. Aluminium alloy composites using silicon carbide (SiC) particles were manufactured using stir casting technique. ‘T’ shape and plus shape geometries were cast in the present work. Critical velocity and solidification front velocity was analyzed to investigate effect of cast geometries on particle dispersion. Microstructural examination revealed that cast geometries have significant effect on dispersion of particles.

In this study, the influence of nano-particle on flowability and durability of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers reinforced cementitious composite containing fly ash was evaluated. In the cementitious composite, Portland cement was replaced with 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0% and 2.5% (by weight) of nano-particles. Two kinds of nano-particle of SiO2 and CaCO3 nano-particles were adopted in this study. PVA fibers were incorporated to the composite at a dosage of 0.9% (by volume). The flowability of the fresh cementitious composite was assessed using slump flow measurements. The durability of hardened cementitious composite includes carbonation resistance, permeability resistance, cracking resistance as well as freezing-thawing resistance, which were evaluated by the depth of carbonation, the water permeability height, cracking resistance ratio of the specimens, and relative dynamic elastic modulus of samples after freeze-thaw cycles, respectively. Our results showed incorporation of nano-particles had a little disadvantageous effect on flowability of PVA fiber reinforced cementitious composite, and the flowability of the fresh mixtures decreased with increases in the nano-particles content. The decrease in flowability of cementitious composite resulted by nano-SiO2 particles is more remarkable than nano-CaCO3 particles. The addition of both nano-SiO2 and nano-CaCO3 particles significantly improved the durability of PVA fiber reinforced cementitious composite. However, the improvement of nano-SiO2 on durability is much better than that of nano-CaCO3. When the amount of SiO2 nano-particle was less than 2.5%, the durability of cementitious composites increased with nano-SiO2 content. The microstructure of PVA fiber reinforced cementitious composite becomes much denser due to filler effect of nano-particle and generation of particles of hydrated products C–S–H gels. Both of SiO2 and CaCO3 nano-particle improved the microstructure of PVA fiber reinforced cementitious composite, and nano-SiO2 particles might be more beneficial for PVA fibers to play the role of reinforcement than nano-CaCO3 particles in the composites.

There is a massive demand for low-weight high strength materials in automotive, space aerospace, and even structural industries in this present engineering world. These industries attract composites only because of their high strength, resistance to wear, and low weight. Among these composites, metal matrix composite finds wide applications due to its elevated properties, excellent resistance property, corrosion resistance, etc. The reinforcements exist in particles, fiber, and whiskers. Among the three, particles play an important role because of their availability and wettability with the metal matrix. Additionally, among the various metal matrices such as aluminum, magnesium, copper, titanium, etc., aluminum plays a vital role among metal matrices because of its cost, availability in abundance, and castability. Stir casting is the most inexpensive and straightforward composite fabrication technique among the prevailing techniques. Even though so many factors contribute to the elevated property of composites, metal matrix, and reinforcement phase, uniform distribution and wettability are essential factors among all the other factors. This review aims to develop a composite with elevated property in a cost-effective manner. Cost includes metal matrix, reinforcement, and processing technique. Various works have been tabulated to achieve the above objective, and analysis was carried out on tensile strength concerning microstructure. This review paper explores the challenges in composite fabrication and finds a solution to overcome them.

Experimental investigations had been done in this study to demonstrate the effect of natural particles used as a reinforcement material to unsaturated polyester resin. The tensile test and water absorption were investigated according to (ASTM D638) and (ASTM D570), respectively. The influence of sunflower husk and pomegranate husk particles, used as a reinforcement material, on the tensile strength, Young's modulus and water absorption with different weight fraction (3%, 7% and 10%) and particle grain size (50µm, 100 µm and 150 µm), has been investigated. The water absorption of polymer composites was studied by measuring the specimen weight before and after immersion in water for one hundred days. In the experiments of tensile test, all specimens loading was performed with (50KN) operating at a crosshead speed of 10 mm/min. It is observed that the addition of sunflower husk up to 10% and pomegranate husk particles up to 7% as reinforcement materials to polyester resin, leads to increase the tensile strength and Young's modulus of the composite material prepared and the use of sunflower husk as a reinforcement material increased the tensile strength, Young's modulus and water absorption were better than pomegranate husk at the same percentage of addition. The decrease in reinforcement material grain size led to increase the tensile strength, Young's modulus and water absorption. Therefore, all the best result seen in composites containing reinforcement material with (50µm). Finally, the best result obtained in tensile strength, Young's modulus and water absorption were with the addition of 10% sunflower husk as a reinforcement material to polyester resin.

Full textAbstract:
The hot deformation and fracture behavior of TiB/nano-sized particulate reinforced titanium matrix composites were investigated. The effect of reinforcement contents and initial structures on the isothermal deformation and fracture characteristic were investigated through microstructure analysis, tensile tests and crack propagation tests. It was found that the optimal working parameters for Ti composites is determined at 900-950°C/0.01-0.1 s-1, which is associated with the continuous dynamic recrystallization of primary a grains and dynamic globularization of lamellar α. The necklace recrystallization was observed in β phase region, and the instability mechanisms include inhomogeneous deformation and breaking or debonding of TiB whiskers. Additionally, the addition of reinforcements refines α phases, decreasing the lamellar α width. The aspect ratio of TiB is much higher with the increase of reinforcement content. Higher content (2.5 vol. % and 5 vol. %) brings about more broken reinforcements and defects, which result in brittle fracture in Ti composite. Reinforcements and defects are believed to be the key factors to determine the crack propagation. Intergranular cracking is the main cracking way in the region where there are few reinforcements. Defects caused by fractured TiB play a dominant role in diverting intergranular cracking to transgranular cracking. Key words: Hot deformation, dynamic globularization, dynamic recrystallization, Titanium matrix composites

Full textAbstract:
The microplastic deformation behavior of 20 vol.% SiCp / Al composites with various SiC particle sizes were investigated. The SiC particles are in four nominal sizes of 1, 5, 20 and 56 µm. The experimental results showed that the micro-yield strength is very sensitive to composite microstructure features. As the particle size increases, the micro-yield strength of composites decrease firstly, and then increase. The observed results were attributed to thermal residual stress and dislocation density due to the large difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between the matrix and reinforcement.

In this study, rapidly solidified metal matrix composite powders have been produced by PREP (Plasma rotating electrode process) atomization. AlCu4Mg1 alloy is used as the matrix material while SiC particles, with about 650 nm average particle size, are used as the reinforcement phase. The microstructural and solidification characteristics of composite particles are studied using optical and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The relationship between secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) and particle diameter was examined, and these composite powders were found to have dendritic and equiaxed solidification with a fine eutectic phase. SDAS measurements using various sized particles show that secondary dendrite arm spacing slightly decreases with the decrease in particle size.

The efficacy of reinforcement of polyester resin matrix composites with agro waste particles to effect improvement on the disadvantage of low mechanical properties for optimal performance was studied. 5-25 wt. % of coconut shell, periwinkle shell, and cow bone particles were applied in reinforcing unsaturated polyester resin matrix by mould casting and the microstructural and mechanical characteristics of the composites were evaluated. There was uniform distribution of the agro waste particles in the polymer composites matrix from the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) result. The hybrid composite at 15 wt. % reinforcement demonstrated the highest mechanical properties in terms of ultimate tensile strength (66.73 MPa), flexural strength (76.76 MPa), hardness (87.76 BHN), and impact energy (23.16 J). This shows the efficacy of hybridisation and the high potential of the composite for wider applications.

Full textAbstract:
During the last century, natural fibers and particulates are used as reinforcement in polymer composite that has been continuously growing in the composite industry. This polymer matrix composite has wide range of applications in hostile environment where they are exposed to external attacks such as solid particle erosion. Also, the mechanical properties of different polymer composites show the best alternate to replace the metal material. In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to improve the mechanical and tribological behaviour of polymer matrix composite using wood apple shell particles as a filler material in polymer matrix. Also the temperature variation of the dynamic-mechanical parameters of epoxy matrix composites incorporated with 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt% of wood apple shell particles was investigated by DMA test. It is clearly observed that the incorporation of wood apple shell particles tends to increase the tensile strength, flexural strength, erosive wear resistance, and viscoelastic stiffness of the polymer composite. To validate the results, SEM of the polymer matrix composite has been studied.
