Processing Effects on the Engineering Properties of Cast Metal-Matrix Composites

Processing Effects on the Engineering Properties of Cast Metal-Matrix Composites The physical and mechanical properties of metal-matrix composites synthesized using the various solidification and casting techniques are reviewed. The emphasis is on engineering properties such as strength, ductility, fracture toughness, hardness, creep, wear and friction, damping, and thermal and electrical properties. The process-structure-property relationships for these materials are highlighted with specific examples from composites of practical importance. It is shown that as both the structure and properties of cast composites are extremely sensitive to a myriad of process-related variables (temperature, time, atmosphere, pressure etc.), the composite performance must be evaluated in synergy with the fabrication technique in order to establish a rigorous protocol between composite performance and fabrication techniques. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Advanced Performance Materials Springer Journals

Abstract

The physical and mechanical properties of metal-matrix composites synthesized using the various solidification and casting techniques are reviewed. The emphasis is on engineering properties such as strength, ductility, fracture toughness, hardness, creep, wear and friction, damping, and thermal and electrical properties. The process-structure-property relationships for these materials are highlighted with specific examples from composites of practical importance. It is shown that as both the structure and properties of cast composites are extremely sensitive to a myriad of process-related variables (temperature, time, atmosphere, pressure etc.), the composite performance must be evaluated in synergy with the fabrication technique in order to establish a rigorous protocol between composite performance and fabrication techniques.
