Tensile and fracture behavior of nano/micro TiB2 particle reinforced casting A356 aluminum alloy composites

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the tensile performance and fracture behavior of aluminum matrix composites reinforced with TiB2 nano and microparticles, and found that the porosity of the composites increased with increasing volume fraction and decreasing particle size.

Functionally graded metals and metal-ceramic composites: Part 2 Thermomechanical behaviour

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the processing of functionally graded metals and metal-ceramic composites is presented, focusing on the thermomechanical behavior of the materials. But the authors do not consider the deformation of the constituent phases of the composites.

Size-dependent inelastic behavior of particle-reinforced metal–matrix composites

TL;DR: In this article, a new hybrid approach is developed by incorporating the geometrically necessary dislocation strengthening effect into the incremental micromechanical scheme, and the particle-size-dependent inelastic deformation behavior of MMCp is given.

Optimization by Grey relational analysis of EDM parameters on machining Al–10%SiCP composites

TL;DR: In this paper, the multi-response optimization of the process parameters viz., metal removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR), taper (T), radial overcut (ROC), and surface roughness (SR) on electric discharge machining (EDM) of Al-10%SiC P as cast metal matrix composites using orthogonal array (OA) with Grey relational analysis is reported.

Design of optimisation of cutting parameters for turning metal matrix composites based on the orthogonal arrays

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of cutting conditions (cutting velocity and feed) and cutting time on turning metal matrix composites (MMCs) was investigated using PCD cutting tools.
