Abstract/Summary:
Interface reaction is a major problem with Al-SiC particulate metal matrix composites (MMC's). Uncontrolled Al-SiC reaction results in deterioration of interface structure, variation in matrix alloy composition, and degradation of mechanical properties.Characterization of the Al-SiCBoth isothermal treatment and DSC analysis indicated that the oxide coatings, especially the AlThe effect of the AlThe present study investigated the Al-SiCQuantitative fracture analysis showed that under tensile loading a small percentage of particles (...
