SiC/Aluminium Co-Continuous Composite Synthesized by Reactive Metal Penetration

Article Preview

Abstract:

Co-continuous ceramic composites were fabricated with commercially available SiC porous foams as the ceramic phase and aluminium 6021 alloy as the metallic phase using reactive metal penetration (RMP) process. Microstructure studies, compression test, microhardness test and tests to determine the impact strength were performed on the co-continuous composite. The fabricated composite was lighter and it was found to possess properties comparable to aluminium 6021 alloy.
