Influence of B4C on the tribological and mechanical properties of Al 7075–B4C composites
A. Baradeswaran,A. Elaya Perumal +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of B 4 C on the mechanical and Tribological behavior of Al 7075 composites is identified, and the test results showed increasing hardness of composites compared with the base alloy because of the presence of the increased ceramic phase.

Preparation and properties of cast aluminium-ceramic particle composites
M.K. Surappa,Pradeep K. Rohatgi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a casting technique for preparing aluminium-alumina, aluminium-illite and aluminium-silicon carbide particle composites has been developed, which essentially consists of stirring uncoated but suitably heat-treated ceramic particles of sizes varying from 10 to 200 μm in molten aluminium alloys using the vortex method of dispersion of particles, followed by casting of the composite melts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The solidification microstructure of particulate reinforced aluminium/SiC composites
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the factors influencing the production and microstructure of cast Al-SiC composites and show that SiC particles are rejected ahead of the meniscus to be eventually trapped in the interdendritic regions.
