Al matrix composites fabricated by solid-state cold spray deposition: A critical review

Deposition and characterization of SnO2:Sb thin films fabricated by the spray pyrolysis method

In this study, thin films of transparent semiconductor tin oxide doped with antimony impurities on the glass substrates with different concentrations of antimony that have been prepared using spray pyrolysis method. The effects of different concentration of antimony on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of the thin films were investigated. Prepared layers were characterized by X...

B4C-Al Composites Fabricated by the Powder Metallurgy Process

Due to the large thermal neutron absorption cross section of 10B, B4C-Al composites have been used as neutron absorbing materials in nuclear industries, which can offer not only good neutron shielding performance but also excellent mechanical properties. The distribution of B4C particles affects the mechanical performance and efficiency of the thermal neutron absorption of the composite materia...

The Structural and Mechanical Properties of Al-2.5%wt. B4C Met-al Matrix Nano-composite Fabricated by the Mechanical Alloying

In this study, aluminum (Al) matrix reinforced with micro-particles (30 µm) and nano-particles (50 nm) boron carbide (B4C) were used to prepare Al-2.5%wt., B4C nano-composite and micro-composite, respectively, using mechanical alloying method. The mixed powders were mechanically milled at 5, 10, 15 and 20 hrs. The XRD results indicated that the crystallite sizes of both the micro-composite and ...

Microstructures and Tensile Properties of Al–Cu Matrix Composites Reinforced with Nano-Sized SiCp Fabricated by Semisolid Stirring Process

The nano-sized SiCp/Al–Cu composites were successfully fabricated by combining semisolid stirring with ball milling technology. Microstructures were examined by an olympus optical microscope (OM), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Tensile properties were studied at room temperature. The results show that the α-Al dendrites of the com...
