TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of morphology and reinforcement type on mechanical properties was evaluated with hardness measurement and 3-point bend tests, and it was concluded that the composite with the TiB+TiC reinforcement has a better strength and toughness, due to the presence of needle shaped TiB. The composite with only TiB reinforcement in the form of TiB particulate has inferior strength and fracture resistance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the hot working characteristics of 2124 Al alloy matrix composites reinforced with 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 vol pct of SiC particulate, produced by the powder metallurgy route, were studied using processing maps.

TL;DR: In this paper, a processing map for hot working of 6061 Al-10 vol.-%Al2 O3(p) reinforced cast and extruded composite material has been generated covering the temperature range 350-550°C and the strain rate range 0·001-100 s−l, based on the dynamic materials model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hot working of Al alloy 2014-20vol.% Al2O3 particulate-reinforced cast-plus-extruded composite material has been generated covering the temperature range 300-500 degrees C and the strain rate range 0.001-10 s−1.

TL;DR: In this article, the hot-working characteristics of the metal-matrix composite (MMC) Al-10 vol % SiC-particulate (SiCp) powder metallurgy compacts in as-sintered and in hot-extruded conditions were studied using hot compression testing.
