Production of high strength Al–Al2O3 composite by accumulative roll bonding

Evaluation of mechanical properties of 1060-Al reinforced with WC particles via warm accumulative roll bonding process

“…Aluminum-based metal matrix composites (AMMCs) have attracted considerable attention because of their light weight, high strength, high stiffness, and wear resistance [1][2][3]. In recent years, the high hardness of tungsten carbides (WCs) led to their emergence as a new reinforcement particle in AMMCs [4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

The measurement of the adhesion force between ceramic particles and metal matrix in ceramic reinforced-metal matrix composites

“…A large amount of work has been conducted recently in an effort to characterize the mechanical behaviour of particle reinforced MMCs. Not only new production technologies have been developed [6][7][8][9] but also analytical and numerical modelling has been done [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The latest provides an effective and relatively cheap and fast means of predicting effective properties of the composite (e.g.…”

On the cold rolling of AZ31 Mg alloy after Equal Channel Angular Pressing

“…Recently, severe plastic deformation (SPD) processes such as Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) [2], Accumulative roll bonding [3,4], Cyclic Extrusion Compression (CEC) [5], High Pressure Torsion (HPT) [6] and Friction Stir Processing (FSP) [7] has been developed to improve the microstructure and mechanical properties through grain refinement and a proper texture development. ECAP has had more interests of all SPD processes since it can be applied to wide range of materials, repeated for several passes to impose higher strains and able to get industrialized [8].…”
