Fabrication of fiber reinforced metal matrix composites by squeeze casting technology

Scientific and Engineering Applications of Full-field Swept-source Optical Coherence Tomography

“…Composite materials are obtained by holding together two or more elements by a matrix in a manner such that the properties of the resultant material are very different from the properties of its constituents [21,22]. The matrix can be physical or chemical material that binds together a cluster of fibers or fragments of a much stronger material called the reinforcement.…”

“…The matrix can be physical or chemical material that binds together a cluster of fibers or fragments of a much stronger material called the reinforcement. Physical matrix includes anything from physical entanglement and non-woven technologies to porous containers whereas chemical matrices range from hydrogen bonding to covalent bonding using resins and adhesives [21,22]. In other words, composites employ the fundamental principle of a fibrous reinforcement improving the properties of the matrix in which that reinforcement is contained.…”

“…The greatest advantage of composite materials is strength and stiffness combined with lightness and durability. Commonly used techniques for polymer composite characterization are wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) [21,22]. They provide images of the surface features at atomic level.…”

Manufacturing process of particle intermetallic compound reinforced Al base composites by infiltration-reaction method

“…B., et al, 2006, Lee M. H., et al, 2014. Generally, manufacture methods of a ceramic particles dispersed composite include powder metallurgy process (Izadi H., et al, 2013), stir casting (Bharath V., et al, 2014) and squeeze casting method (Vijayaram T. R., et al, 2006), etc.…”

Manufacturing and Properties of Quartz (SiO2) Particulate Reinforced Al-11.8%Si Matrix Composites

“…In general, composite materials posses good mechanical and thermal properties, sustainable over a wide range of temperatures (Vijayaram et al, 2006). The desirable factors such as property requirements, cost factor considerations and future application prospects would decide the choice of the processing method (Kaczmar et al, 2000).…”
