TL;DR: The effect of the alloy matrix on room-temperature strengthening in δ-alumina-reinforced aluminium alloys has been investigated in this paper, where it is shown that a simple Rule of Mixtures (ROM) strength analysis, modified to account for the discontinuous and random orientation of the reinforcement, can adequately explain these responses.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of δ alumina fibre arrays on the age-hardening characteristics of an Al-Mg-Si alloy (6061) has been investigated by means of hardness and electrical resistivity measurements, and optical, scanning and transmission electron microscopy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the details of a novel process for the production of short-fibre/particulate hybrid metal matrix composites (MMCs) are presented, which can produce materials which vary from conventional hybrids, to composites where the fibre fraction is low and the material is essentially a particulate-reinforced composite.

TL;DR: This article analyzed fractographique des surfaces de rupture des alliages Al-4% Zn-2% Mg and Al-12% Si renforces par des fibres d'alumine orientees de facon pseudo-aleatoire.
