Solidification of particle-reinforced metal-matrix composites
Abstract
The solidification process largely determines the particle distribution and microstructure of metal-matrix composites (MMCs) which, in turn, influence many of the material properties. The solidification behavior of MMCs was investigated experimentally by unidirectionally solidifying in a pre-heated cylindrical steel mould 15 μm silicon carbide particle-reinforced aluminum A356 alloy, prepared by a melt stirring technique. Temperatures were …
