Degradation of Al/SiCp composites produced with rice-hull ash and aluminum cans

A review of ceramic/bio-based hybrid reinforced aluminium matrix composites

“…Also, hardness decreases when the graphite content increases in the composites. When compared to alumina, the hardness reduction when there was an increment in the RHA and graphite content was said to be based on lower hardness properties of both reinforcing materials (Escalera-Lozano, Gutierrez, Pech-Canul, & Pech-Canul, 2008). The hardness of aluminium (A356.2) alloy increases when hybrid reinforcements (RHA and SiC) were added.…”

Review on the physicochemical treatments of rice husk for production of advanced materials

“…It is also expected that the SiC whiskers and particles in the preforms will remain intact and will preserve their properties in the composites.It is intended that by the reaction with Si, the addition of Mo gives place to MoSi 2 formation, which would be advantageous to the overall properties of the composites. This is because MoSi 2 is a less brittle phase compared with Si and has a high melting point (2030 ºC), thus favoring the high-temperature performance of the composite [88].A summary of different fabrication routes and types of ceramicand metal-matrix composites, starting from rice husk is presented in Table 3 [83][84][85][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106].…”

Effect of SiCp multimodal distribution on pitting behavior of Al/SiCp composites prepared by reactive infiltration

“…The results show a signal band from 3500 to 3700 cm − 1 , which in accordance with the literature, falls within the band corresponding to OH − group (3200−3700 cm − 1 ). The remaining signals correspond to Si-O-Si and Al-O-Si bonds, related to the spinel and residual silica [23,24]. Fig.…”
