Metal‐Matrix Composites

Abstract: (New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology). Metal‐matrix composites have a metal or an alloy as the continuous phase, in which the reinforcing phase (particle whisker, short or continuous fiber) is distributed. Important techniques for processing metal‐matrix composites are described. A description of the reinforcement/matrix interface region and its characteristics, and properties of different metal‐matrix composites are provided. Different applications of metal‐matrix composites are summarized.

“…This issue requires the careful identification of processing techniques and operating parameters. Two generic techniques can be used for composite production, i.e., powder metallurgy and molten metal method [38][39][40]. Both of these techniques have their own merits and limitations depending on the operating parameters.…”

“…Therefore, the influence of Gr contents on the tribological properties of Al/SiC/Gr composites must be analyzed. The production method is also a significant factor that influences the porosity levels, distribution of particles, and matrix/reinforcement interfacial properties [38]. The present article presents various aspects regarding fabrication and characteristics of Al/SiC/Gr hybrid composites.…”

“…También pueden definirse como aquellos materiales que contienen un reforzante soportado por una matriz [16]. Sus propiedades mecánicas y térmicas superiores, y su baja densidad los hacen muy atractivos [17]. El reforzante puede presentar forma de partículas, fibras o lámi-nas, y es quien comanda las propiedades del compósito, ya que algunas de sus propiedades pueden llegar a ser entre 20 y 100 veces superiores a las de la matriz [18].…”

“…En la Figura 9b, se puede observar el modelado de un nanotubo, destacándose las condiciones de carga y restricciones de movimiento, mientras que en la Figura 9c se muestra cómo se inserta el nanotubo de carbono en el modelo de un material compuesto. Sobre este tema, se encontraron otros trabajos, como el de Reddy y col. [17], o el de Davoudabadi y col. [47], quienes estudiaron con éxito el efecto de la relación de aspecto del nanotubo de carbono sobre el módulo de Young, comparándolo con la regla de las mezclas y el modelo de Halpin-Tsai para un material compuesto de matriz polimérica. Otros trabajos estudian las interfases y los problemas surgidos por falta de unión [48,49].…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] In a drive to further enhance the properties of MMCs, recent research has focused on reducing the reinforcement particle size from the micrometric regime to submicron and nanometric length scales. [6,9] The strength and hardness of nanoparticle-reinforced composites have been extensively studied and the operative strengthening mechanisms have been thoroughly described [6,9,12,13] with the general finding that as the reinforcement particle size decreases, the strength of the composite increases.…”
