In metallic glass-reinforced metal matrix composites, the glassy phase can serve a dual purpose: (i) it behave as soft binder and porosity remover during consolidation; (ii) act hard reinforcing after densification. The present work aimed to demonstrate benefit of particles for densification aluminum composites. consolidation behavior Al–50 vol.% Fe-based alloy mixtures prepared using Fe66Cr10N...

Finite-element simulation of the hot pressing process has been performed using ABAQUS. The viscoelastic polymer (polymethyl methacrylate) used in this study has mechanical properties that depend on the temperature and working pressure. Based on the nonlinear viscoelastic model, the polymer material behaviour is simulated successfully with the data obtained from material tests. Simulation result...
