“…Figure b shows that warp wires are parallel to the longitudinal section. Compared with the stainless steel fiber/ZA8 alloy IPC described in our previous work, the wire distribution in the stainless steel mesh/ZA8 alloy composite is more uniform. As shown in Figure c,e–h, many sintering joints are formed between warp and weft wires after sintering preform due to materials diffusion, whereas few sintering joints are formed between the adjacent layers.…”

“…The stainless steel wire mesh/ZA8 alloy composite was produced by squeeze casting, as described in our previous work . A ZA8 alloy with 8.0–8.8 wt% Al, 0.8–1.3 wt% Cu, 0.015–0.03 wt% Mg, and balance Zn was melted at about 650 °C in a crucible furnace and then maintained for about 1 h. ZnCl 2 (added 0.2–0.3 wt%) was added to refine the melt, and the sludge was removed.…”

“…The composites with special functions can be designed by controlling volume fraction, shape, size, and distribution of reinforcing phases . Reinforcements include continuous, discontinuous, or chopped fibers, particles, and whiskers . The reinforcements such as particles, fibers, and whiskers distributed in the composite are not always continuous and uniform, resulting in the difficulty in controlling the structure of MMCs .…”

“…The 3D microstructure of the IPC is difficult to control during the manufacturing process. In addition, the worse wettability between the ceramic phase and metal phase affects the properties and manufacturing processes of zinc alloy matrix composites . Though metal fiber‐reinforced zinc alloy composites were investigated recently, no related literature exists on the tensile properties of zinc alloy matrix IPCs at different temperatures.…”

“…Our previous work reported that a novel 304 stainless steel fiber/zinc alloy IPC exhibited good interfaces and better compressive strength both at room and at elevated temperatures. However, the fibers in the composites are not uniformly distributed because the short fibers were stochastically put into mold and then pressed and sintered to produce preforms.…”

Novel stainless steel/zinc alloy composites are produced by infiltrating ZA8 zinc alloy into rolled 304 stainless steel wire mesh preforms via squeeze casting. Microstructural characteristics of the composite are observed, and the uniaxial tensile properties at different temperatures are investigated. The tensile properties of the composites of sintered preforms are compared with those of the composites of unsintered preforms. The results indicate that the microstructures and tensile behavior of the composites exhibit anisotropy. The tensile strength of the composite in the longitudinal direction is higher than that in the radial direction and increases with increasing wire fraction. The tensile strength and elongation at the maximum stress of the composite are lower than those of the unreinforced ZA8 alloy tested at room temperature. At an elevated temperature, the tensile strength of the alloy is improved but ductility decreases after adding wire mesh with wire fraction more than a certain value. The strength and elastic modulus of the alloy and composites sharply decrease with an increase in testing temperatures. The tensile strength of the composite decreases after sintering preforms. The fracture surface of the composite shows anisotropy in different directions and different morphologies at different temperatures.

Metal-polymer composites can be used to synthesize material properties. A variety of interpenetrating phase composites have been produced by spontaneously infiltrating porous short-fiber preforms with unsaturated polyester resin under vacuum conditions. Porous preforms are fabricated by compacting and sintering short 304 stainless steel fibers from cutting stainless steel fiber ropes. Tensile experiments are conducted, and fractographs are examined via scanning electron microscopy. The results reveal that the tensile strength, elongation at maximum stress, and elasticity modulus of the IPCs increase with the increasing fiber fractions and exhibit anisotropy in different directions. The tensile strength and elongation at maximum stress are significantly improved compared with the consistent preforms. A nonlinear elastic behavior and sawtooth-like fluctuation during yield deformation are noted. Compared with the through-thickness direction, a higher tensile strength and larger elongation at maximum stress are observed in the in-plane direction. Finer-diameter fibers can improve the strength and increase the elongation at maximum stress. The tensile fracture surfaces show a mixture of brittle and plastic fracture characteristics.

Composites with stiff and soft phases are widely used in engineering applications and are found in nature. Geometrical arrangements of phases in composites can significantly influence overall properties. This study focuses on the numerical and experimental investigation of the mechanical behavior of model two‐phase composites with different phase geometries including an interpenetrating phase composite with two continuous phases, a matrix‐inclusion composite with a continuous and a discontinuous phase, and a discontinuous phase composite where both phases are discontinuous. These different types of composites are fabricated by additive manufacturing and their mechanical performance is studied both experimentally, using compression testing and digital image correlation, and numerically by a finite element analysis. It is observed that continuity of the stiff phase leads to a stiffer overall response of composites. Furthermore, while the stiff phase enhances the overall elastic modulus by enduring a larger fraction of the load, the soft phase provides load redistribution resulting in a higher load‐bearing capacity. Finally, these composite types are simulated using properties of bone constituents (collagen and hydroxyapatite) and results imply that bone may be an interpenetrating phase composite. The findings of this study provide guidance for the design of advanced composites with superior properties.
