Study on Iraqi bauxite ceramic reinforced Aluminum metal matrix composite synthesized by stir casting

For the past decades researchers are showing immense interest to investigate the natural advantage of preparation of composites from minerals such as bauxite particles, and proved their effectiveness as cost effective reinforcing agents in fabrication of high performance composites. This study, is a new attempt in using the Iraqi natural bauxite powder with different proportions (2wt%, 4wt%, an...

Fabrication of Aluminum Matrix Composite Reinforced by Silicon Carbide of Various Micro-structures

Thermal Elastic-plastic Stress Analysis of Steel Fiber Reinforced Aluminum Metal-matrix Composite Arches

A thermal elastic-plastic stress analysis is carried out on steel fiber reinforced aluminum metal-matrix composite arch under uniform temperature distribution. The arch is fixed at both ends. The composite material is assumed to be strain hardening linearly. First yielding temperature, thermal residual stresses and the distribution of these stresses under thermal loading are investigated by usi...

Effect of Spark Plasma Sintering in Fabricating Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Aluminum Matrix Composite Materials

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are attractive next generation materials due to their unique properties, which lead to high mechanical, electrical, and thermal performance (Iijima, 1991; Endo et al., 1976; Niyogi et al., 2002; Komarov & Mirnov, 2004). This unique nano order material can not only be utilized on its own in precision industrial fields but can also provide high performance functionality in ...

an investigation into the wear behaviour of aluminum (aa2124) matrix composite reinforced with intermetallic mosi2 particles

in the present work, the aa2124/25vol.%mosi2 composite was produced by powder metallurgy technique. the aluminum alloy 2124 powder was produced by gas atomization method and the mosi2 intermetallic particles were produced through combustion synthesis. the aa2124 matrix powder was mechanically blended with 25vol.%mosi2 using a ball milling mixer. the blended powder mixture was encapsulated and t...
