The development of metal-based smart composites

“…When this concept was applied to metal-matrix composites, a thin plate of FRM was used to form a new active material as proposed in Figure 1. [28][29][30] In order to make this type of active composite material, a SiC continuous fiber/ aluminum-matrix composite plate was laminated on unreinforced aluminum plate by the interphase forming/bonding method using copper insert foil under the conditions of 873 K, 2.7 MPa, and 1.2 ks.…”
