“…Amongst many metal matrix used, Ni [2][3][4][5] and its alloys with W [6], Co [7,8], Fe [9], Mo [10] or P [11][12][13][14], has featured strongly. The dispersed phase most often are carbides (WC, TiC, SiC) [3,8,9,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], graphite carbon [1], nitrides (Si 3 N 4 , AlN) [20], sulfides (MoS 2 ) [6,7], metal oxides (Al 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 , TiO 2 , NiO, La 2 O 3 ) [1,4,5,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], boron [31,32], and recently also metal powders (W, Al, Ti, Mo, V, Co) [33][34][35][36][37][38...…”
