ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF MMCS CONTAINING COPPER WITH SILICON CARBIDE REINFORCEMENT USING NANOMATERIALS AND DYNAMIC COMPACTION

摘要

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are promising engineering materials for a wide spectrum of applications. There are many possible matrix-reinforcement combinations including MMCs containing copper or copper alloy matrices. The present study is concerned with copper reinforced with SiC particles. The materials studied here were processed from nano-scale matrix powders and consolidated using dynamic compaction.
