Comparison of Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystalline particle reinforced Al composites fabricated by conventional casting and extrusion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the dependency of the yield stress at room temperature as a function of the volume fraction of reinforcement, but other variables such as the matrix, coating layer around the particles, and processing were also investigated.

Preparation of Ti-aluminide reinforced in situ aluminium matrix composites by reactive hot pressing
TL;DR: In this paper, the micro-structural architecture of the composites as a function of hot pressing temperature and volume percent reinforcement was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Types of Composites
Soo-Jin Park,Min-Kang Seo +1 more
TL;DR: Polymer matrix composites as discussed by the authors are materials made up of two or more materials that are combined in a way that allows the materials to stay distinct and identifiable, and the purpose of composites is to allow the new materials to have strengths from both materials, often times covering the original materials weaknesses.

Dry sliding wear characteristics of in-situ TiBw/Ti6Al4V composites with different network parameters
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated wear characteristics of the novel TMCs with different parameters, the results show that in-situ TiBw enhances hardness and resists abrasion effectively.

3.01 – An Introductory Overview of MMC Systems, Types, and Developments
TL;DR: The first chapter of the volume largely serves to set the scene for an appraisal of the current status of metal matrix composite (MMCs), with relatively little in the way of detailed information, but extensive cross-referencing to other chapters of this volume, in addition to conventional citation of the literature as mentioned in this paper.
