Fabrication of MMCs from metal and alloy powders produced from scrap

Controlling Al/Cu composite diffusion layer during hydrostatic extrusion by using colloidal Ag

“…Solid state processes have been extensively investigated because they are relatively flexible compared to liquid phase processes and because they can overcome these limitations. In spite of the advantages of solid phase processes, their main drawbacks are the high processing costs owing to the usually expensive powdered raw materials, complicated processing steps, and long processing times (Karayannis and Moutsatsou, 2006). These drawbacks can be overcome using hydrostatic extrusion to fabricate MMC through a single process with shorter processing times and reduced processing costs compared with the solid-phase process.…”
