Abstract Light (density< 2.7 g× cm− 3) yet strong (tensile strength> 350 MPa) metal matrix
composites (MMCs) are highly anticipated for aerospace and automotive industries. The …

Fabrication of high strength yet light and low cost composite materials with good mechanical
properties at room and elevated temperatures is a challenge that metallurgy and materials …

The influence of reinforcing AlN, AlB 2 and BN phases, either individually or in combination,
on the mechanical properties of Al-based composites fabricated via reactive ball milling of …

Achieving intrinsic strengthening of boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) in Ti matrix
composites was still an unsettled issue due to its severe and uncontrollable interface …

The viscoelastic response of a novel composite (A356 aluminum alloy matrix with ceramic
reinforcement particles developed from colliery shale waste) is measured with dynamic …

The influence of homogenisation regimes on precipitations of fine Mn-bearing dispersoids,
recrystallisation kinetics, grain structure, mechanical properties and superplasticity of cold …

Herein we demonstrate the promise of hexagonal BN nanosheets (BNNSs) as fillers in metal
matrix composites (MMCs). Al-based MMCs with 1, 5 and 10 wt% of BNNSs were obtained …

Sc addition, friction stir processing (FSP), and subsequent solid-solution treatment and
aging to peak hardness (T6 treatment) were applied on a 7055 Al alloy. Fine equiaxed …

While nanocrystalline (NC) metals exhibit superior strength to conventional microcrystalline
metals, their thermal instability has hampered their application at high temperatures. Herein …

The effect of rolling and annealing on boron nitride nanotube (BNNTs) reinforced aluminum-
composites is investigated in this study. Composites were fabricated via conventional …
