Mechanical and thermal expansion behavior of hipped aluminum–TiB2 composites

TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructure of metal matrix composites (MMCs) was found to depend greatly on the relative particle size (RPS) ratio between the aluminum and ceramic particles.

Residual stress in WC-Co measured by neutron diffraction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the cell parameters of cobalt and WC using neutron diffraction and found that the high temperature domain is characterized by an increase of residual stress in WC, a rapid increase of Co lattice parameter, and a hysteresis between the heating and cooling cycles.

Fracture behavior of particle reinforced metal matrix composites

TL;DR: In this article, a modification to the Hahn-Rosenfield model has been developed for estimating the fracture toughness of the metal matrix composites with larger particle reinforcements, which has been experimentally tested.

Elevated temperature tensile properties and thermal expansion of CNT/2009Al composites

TL;DR: In this article, carbon nanotubes reinforced 2009Al composites with homogeneously dispersed CNTs and refined matrix grains, were fabricated using powder metallurgy (PM) followed by 4-pass friction stir processing (FSP).

The influence of Al2O3 reinforcement on the properties of stainless steel cold spray coatings

TL;DR: The effect of Al 2 O 3 additions to type 316 austenitic stainless steel cold spray coatings was studied in this paper, showing an improved degree of metallurgical bonding, likely due to increased plasticity in the stainless steel particles.
