Properties of Aluminium-SiC_P Composites (Review)

Abstract:

Aluminium-based Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have become increasingly used for structural applications in various industrial sectors because of their excellent specific stiffness and specific strength. Discontinuously reinforced (DR) Al/SiC metal-matrix composites (MMCs) are modern, lightweight materials which have a very attractive combination of material properties and price. The use of DR Al/SiC MMCs is mostly limited to the military and aerospace, however, these materials are now beginning to penetrate civilian applications. Besides the mechanical behavior, knowledge of the corrosion resistance of DR Al/SiC MMCs is very important, and so the corrosion resistance of Al/SiC composites has been investigated and discussed in comparison with a conventional Al alloy of similar composition.
