Processing of Boron Carbide-Aluminum Composites

Characterization Of Particulate-Reinforced Aluminium 6061 / Boron Carbide Composites

Aluminum-based metal matrix composite (MMC) materials are used in the design of ground transportation vehicles and aircraft. Compared with conventional, unreinforced alloys, composite materials usually exhibit higher strength, both at ambient and elevated temperatures, as well as good fatigue strength and wear resistance. MMCs could be produced by variety of methods such as Stir cast, Liquid In...

Experimental study of fracture mechanics in the aluminum matrix composites containing Fifteen percent silicon carbide particles

In this investigation ‚the fracture toughness of A356 containing15%SiC composite was studied. Al/SiC composites have been considered because of their mechanical and erosion properties .Low fracture toughness in Al/SiC as compared with Aluminium alloys is one of its disadvantage. In this study at first A356 alloy was melted in a smelting electrical furnace then poured into the mould. A356-15% Si...
