Aluminium—boron carbide metal matrix composites (Al-B4C MMCs) belong to the class of materials extensively used in nuclear industry as a thermal neutron absorber spent fuel casks. This article investigates novel production method Al-B4C MMCs—Friction Stir Additive Processing (FSAP)—as an alternative casting or sintering. FSAP is derived from friction stir welding, which can be local modificatio...

The objective of this work is to evaluate the corrosion behaviour nanographene oxide reinforced aluminium (Al/GO) metal matrix composites with different immersion time periods using technique. Al/GO were fabricated by ultrasonic gravitational stir casting process. corrosions evaluated a scanning electron microscope. experimental results revealed that rate decreased and weight losses increased i...

aa8090 is an extra light and deformable group of lithium containing aluminum alloys which have recently replaced some aerospace aluminum alloys, such as 2000 and 7000 series, due to their higher elastic modulus and lower specific weight. in this study, aa8090 matrix composites containing 3, 6 and 9 vol.% sic were cast using a modified stir casting method. the casting billets were deformed thoug...

functionally graded aluminium/zirconia metal matrix composite was fabricated using stir casting technique followed by horizontal centrifugal casting process and a hollow cylindrical functionally graded composite (150 x 150 x 16 mm) was obtained with centrifuging speed of 1200 rpm. the microstructural evaluation and hardness test was carried out on the outer and inner surface of the functionally...

Several deposition methods have been proposed for pre-deposition of reinforcement particle preparation surface metal matrix composite by Friction Stir Process. The method, which will effectively and homogeneously spread the within processed zone, be considered as best possible method.Homogeneous volumetric composites can fabricated conventional casting modified stir methods. process (FSP) used ...
