Production methods of ceramic-reinforced Al-Li matrix composites: A review

Abstract

Recently, the increasing need for good quality, high performance, and low-cost materials has directed research towards composite materials rather than monolithic materials. In the case of metal matrix composites (MMCs), composites based on aluminum matrix have been widely developed for the automobile and aerospace industry as well as structural applications due to having a low cost, high wear resistance, and high strength to weight ratio.Moreover, a facile and economical method for the production of the composites is a very important factor for expanding their application. Ceramic reinforcements such as graphite, silicon carbide, alumina, and fly ash particulates can be introduced in metal matrices. Moreover, there has been considerable interest in developing Al-Li alloys and composites because of having high specific strength and high specific modulus. The present article has focused on the development of aluminum-lithium alloy composites as well as their production methods.

The rechargeable aluminum-ion battery with different composite cathodes: A review

“…It has been reported that the number of patents in this field showed a 29% growth from 2010 to 2016 while the patent filings began only in 2013 [8]. The reason for significant interest in AIBs is the abundance of Al and its even distribution in the earth [9,10]. Additionally, a very high capacity of up to 8.05 Ah/cm 3 and 2.98 Ah/g can be obtained using multivalent metal ions transmitting internally in the AIBs [11].…”

A review on development and application of self-healing thermal barrier composite coatings

“…In the past 15 years, a considerable section of research activities has been allocated to self-healing materials [11][12][13]. The aim of using self-healing materials is to restore the mechanical and physical integrity and properties rapidly after being damaged.…”

Corrosion behavior of aluminum oxide coatings created by electrolytic plasma method under different potential regimes

“…Therefore, in Fig. 2, due to the large diameter of the induction loop compared to the time constant of high frequencies, the polarization resistance of aluminum in 3.5 wt.% sodium chloride solution is estimated to be about 200 Ω.cm 2 . Fig.…”

“…Aluminum and its alloys are of particular importance in the industry due to their light weight, excellent chemical resistance, especially in neutral environments, and high strength to weight ratio [1][2][3]. They are mainly used in the aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, and drilling industries.…”
