Strengthening mechanisms in ultrasonically processed aluminium matrix composite with in-situ Al3Ti by salt addition (2018, background): “It is experimentally proven fact that the hardness of the matrix material is increased when the hard particles are reinforced into the soft ductile matrix [44].”
Prediction of influence of process parameters on tensile strength of AA6061/TiC aluminum matrix composites produced using stir casting (2016, unknown): “Si3N4 [19], TiB2 [20], WC [21], fly ash [22] particulates and CNT [23].”
Synthesis and Characterization of Al6061-Fly Ashp-SiCp Composites by Stir Casting and Compocasting Methods (2013, background): “It is reported [3] that the presence of hard ceramic phase in the soft ductile matrix reduces the ductility of composites due to reduction of ductile metal content which significantly increases the hardness value evaluated against the weight percentage of SiC and Fly ash particulates.”
Mechanical and Tribological Behavior of Particulate Reinforced Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites – a review (2011, background): “Hence one should exercise extreme care in the interpretation of wear coefficient data obtained from different testing methods or the use of different nominal specimen contact areas.”
