The growing demand for fuel-efficient, lightweight and lower CO 2 emissions is led to the
development of lightweight materials. Aluminium metal and its various alloys are extensively …

Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) often have low ductility, which has been a long-lasting
issue in the last few decades. This problem arises largely from the non-deformability of …

Additive manufacturing has gained increasing interest to fabricate metal matrix composites.
Particle agglomeration remains a critical challenge and can severely compromise the …

Depletion of solutes on particle-Al interfaces in particulates reinforced precipitate-hardening
Al composites was harmful to strength. A two-step strategy including bimodal structure …

Abstract Al-Ti-Nb-B refiner shows excellent grain refinement effect for Al-Si alloys compared
to Al-5Ti-B refiner, but the addition of Nb increases the cost of production. This paper …

Abstract Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM) is a promising rapid prototyping technique that
is commonly used in aerospace and other areas due to its ability to manufacture complex …

Additive manufacturing (AM) of composition-sensitive NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) is
hindered by uncontrollable non-equilibrium microstructures, leading to functional …

As a crucial tactic for improving the properties of composites, the interfacial modification
manifests some limits to the preservation of structural integrity and the efficiency of …

Aluminum alloys with high mechanical properties and alleviated mechanical anisotropy are
required for engineering applications. Traditional aluminum alloy sheets processed by …

In this paper, 7055 Al composites reinforced by Al 2 O 3 and ZrB 2 nanoparticles were
fabricated by in-situ reaction. The adhesion (Wad) of the ZrB 2/Al interface was 3.91 J/m 2 …
