Abstract:In this study, metal matrix composite materials consisting of 99% pure Al powder as the matrix and 99% pure B 4 C powder as the reinforcement were manufactured by the powder metallurgy method. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of process parameters on the microstructural and mechanical properties of an Al/B 4 C metal matrix composite fabricated by using the friction welding technique. An aluminum-based metal matrix composite material containing 20 vol% B 4 C particles with an aver… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
