Developments of discontinuously reinforced aluminium matrix composites: Solving the needs for the matrix

Abstract Metal matrix composites become interesting for use as constructional and functional materials. The development of metal was primarily directed to the continuous-fibre reinforced - such boron fibre/aluminium-based matrix, continuous alumina fibres /aluminium-based graphite or fibre/magnesium-based composites. Despite successful production these composites, they manufacturing limited by concerns related technological processes cost, their availability remaining a significant barrier manufacturing. benefits compared unreinforced (monolithic) metals alloys include superior mechanical physical properties that deliver improved structural performance. This concept also further implies re-using materials using recycled Therefore, discontinuously are suitable wide range industrial applications. study aims investigate developments in area solving needs material necessary aluminium Aluminium can be directly back into itself over again true closed loop.
