GTA and GMA Welding of particle Reinforced Aluminium

摘要

Metal matrix composites (MMC) are focused to be useful materials complying with a demand for the lightweight construction in aircraft, automotive, railroad and bicycle industries. New technology could allow to manufacture many types of new composites. Any two materials could, in principle, be combined to make a composite, and they might be mixed in many different ways. To increase the field of applications of these materials, it is necessary to develop new seling techniques. Therefore it requires a new welding equipment and a new welding procedure to join these materials together.
