Wettability in Metal Matrix Composites (2021, background): “[50] studied the solidification speed of SiC reinforced A359 matrix composite to see the effect of solidification speed.”
Development of Aluminium Based Silicon Carbide Particulate Metal Matrix Composite (2009, unknown): “Single particles and particle clusters can flow easily in a completely liquid melt, therefore, no large mechanical forces are actually applied to the particles during agitation, making it very difficult to break the gas layers simply by stirring in the conventional way [8].”
The Key Attributes of Synthesizing Ceramic Particulate Reinforced Al-Based Matrix Composites through Stir Casting Process: A Review (2013, background): “[53] reported that in case of particle reinforced MMCs the distribution of the reinforcement particles in the matrix alloy is influenced by several factors such as viscosity of the liquid metal, heat transfer rate, wettability of materials, stirring method, agglomeration of the reinforcement before ”
Development and assessment of a new quick quench stir caster design for the production of metal matrix composites (2005, background): “At volume percentage of SiC particles higher than 10% in the matrix alloy the wettability decreases and the agglomeration and settling tendencies increase [31].”
