Measurement of interfacial fracture energy by single fibre push-out testing and its application to the titanium–silicon carbide system

TL;DR: In this article, a fracture mechanics model is presented for the advance of an interfacial crack during push-out testing, which is based on the approach of Majumdar and Miracle (Key Eng. Mater., 1996, 116/117, 153).

Effect of Carbon Nanotube Orientation on Mechanical Properties and Thermal Expansion Coefficient of Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Aluminum Matrix Composites

TL;DR: In this paper, a carbon nanotube-reinforced 2009Al (CNT/2009Al) composites with aligned CNTs were fabricated by friction stir processing (FSP) and FSP-rolling, respectively.

Fabrication and characteristics of melt-spun Al ribbons reinforced with nano/micro-BN phases

TL;DR: In this article, the structural characteristics of aluminum ribbons with up to 5 wt.% of embedded nano/micro boron nitride (BN) phases, namely multiwalled BN nanotubes (BNNTs) or BN microparticles (BNMPs), were fabricated by melt-spinning in an argon atmosphere.

Investigation of crack-tip plasticity in high volume fraction particulate metal matrix composites

TL;DR: In this article, the size of the significant crack-tip plastic zones that form in these materials depends on the type and diameter of the reinforcement and on the matrix material, which correlates well with the macroscopic toughness values assessed through Jintegral testing.

Monitoring and assessment of tungsten carbide wettability in laser cladded metal matrix composite coating using an IR pyrometer

TL;DR: In this article, a laser cladding technique was applied to deposit a metal matrix composite coating of Inconel 718 with 30% WC as a ceramic phase, and the thermal history of the molten pool was recorded using an IR pyrometer.
