“…As important MMCs, aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) have been widely used in aerospace, defense, and automobiles due to their high strength, stiffness, toughness, hardness as well as low density, good friction, and fatigue properties benefiting from both aluminum matrix and reinforcing particles [1,2]. There are various types of reinforcements in AMCs, such as alumina [3][4][5], SiC [6][7][8], TiC [9], carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [10,11], graphene nano platelets (GNPs) [12,13], metal particles [14], and high-entropy alloy particles (HEAPs) [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Bathula et al [8] blended AA5083 powder with 10 wt% SiC powder by sintering and observed that the hardness of this AMC increased to 280 HV and the elastic modulus increased to 126 GPa.…”
