“…Furthermore, the authors observed voids in the aluminum matrix in the vicinity of intersection zones, which reduce the bond strength and present stress concentration sites. Similar voids were also observed in casted [3] as well as gas pressure infiltrated composites [6].…”

“…The authors found that aluminum composite reinforced with the wire mesh exhibits a greater adsorption of impact energy when the mesh inlay is rotated by 45 • with respect to the testing direction. Furthermore, Hufenbach et al observed a significant rise (up to 400%) of fracture toughness in AM50 alloy reinforced with austenitic steel mesh inlays [6]. A gas pressure infiltration method was applied to manufacture the composites in this study.…”

The most complex issue related to the design of high efficiency composite materials is the behavior of the reinforcing component during the bonding process. This study presents numerical and experimental investigations of the shape change in the reinforcing inlay in an aluminum-steel mesh-aluminum composite during roll-bonding. A flat composite material consisting of two outer strips of an EN AW 1050 alloy and an inlay of expanded C10 steel mesh was obtained via hot roll bonding with nominal rolling reductions of 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% at a temperature of 500 °C. The experimental procedure was carried out using two separate rolling mills with diameters equal to 135 and 200 mm, respectively. A computer simulation of the roll bonding was performed using the finite element software QForm 9.0.10 by Micas Simulations Limited, Oxford, UK. The distortion of the mesh evaluated via the change in angle between its strands was described using computer tomography scanning. The dependence of the absorbed impact energy of the roll bonded composite on the parameters of the deformation zone was found. The results of the numerical simulation of the steel mesh shape change during roll bonding concur with the data from micro-CT scans of the composites. The diameter of rolls applied during the roll bonding, along with rolling reduction and temperature, have an influence on the resulting mechanical properties, i.e., the absorbed bending energy. Generally, the composites with reinforcement exhibit up to 20% higher impact energy in comparison with the non-reinforced composites.

“…Almatrix composites reinforced with steel mesh were hot closed die forged with liquid aluminum and powder metallurgy, 9 and the brittle Fe-Al phase was not observed between the matrix and the steel wire. Furthermore, thermo-mechanical behavior and material failure of steel wire-reinforced aluminum produced by the compound extrusion process were carried out by A Morasch et al 10 Besides that, steel wire was also used as reinforcement in matrix of magnesium alloy, [11][12][13] copper, 14 and gray cast iron, 15 and various forms of composites were successfully prepared.…”

Taking the 304 stainless steel wire mesh as reinforcement, Al 1060 as matrix, a solid-liquid cast-roll bonding process based on the vertical twin-roll casting was presented to fabricate the stainless steel wire mesh-reinforced Al-matrix composite plate. Optical microscope and scanning electron microscope were used to observe the microstructure of bonding interface, and the mechanical properties were investigated through tensile test and three-point bending test. The observation results show that there is no macroscopic defect at the bonding interface. Furthermore, atom diffusion occurs between the steel wire and aluminum matrix under the high temperature and contact pressure in the cast-rolling zone during solid-liquid cast-roll bonding process. The thickness of interfacial reaction diffusion layer is about 5 mm, and no separation was observed in the interface after three-point bending. The tensile test results indicate that the tensile strength and elongation rate of composite plate are improved with the increase in orientation angle of the steel wire relative to rolling direction, and the tensile strength and elongation are maximum when the orientation angle is 45°. In addition, there are two stress platforms in the tensile curve of the as-rolled composite plate due to the asynchrony of fracture between the reinforcement and matrix, but only one in the curve of as-annealed composite.

“…However by using the composite materials the needed properties in the required materials can easily be achieved. In metal matrix composites (MMCs) high strength and fracture toughness and stiffness are offered by metal matrices compared to those offered by their polymer counterparts [1][2][3][4][5]. They can withstand elevated temperature in corrosive environment compared to polymer composites [6].…”

The present research work involves the study of AA 7075-TiB 2 -Gr in situ composite through stir casting route. This in situ method involves formation of reinforcements within the matrix by the chemical reaction of two or more compounds which also produces some changes in the matrix material within the vicinity. Titanium Diboride (TiB 2 ) and graphite were the reinforcement in a matrix of AA 7075 alloy. The composite was prepared with the formation of the reinforcement inside the molten matrix by adding salts of Potassium Tetrafluoroborate (KBF 4 ) and Potassium Hexafluorotitanate (K 2 TiF 6 ). The samples were taken under casted condition and the properties of the composite were tested by conducting characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD), hardness test, flexural strength by using three-point bend test, scanning electron microscope (SEM), optical microstructure, grain size analysis, and surface roughness. It was found that good/excellent mechanical properties were obtained in AA 7075-TiB 2 -Gr reinforced in situ hybrid composite compared to alloy due to particulate strengthening of ceramic particles of TiB 2 in the matrix. Further, Al 7075-3% TiB 2 -1% Gr hybrid in situ composite exhibited improved machinability over the alloy and composites due to self-lubricating property given by the Gr particles in the materials.
