Contribution to the Manufacture and Characteristics of Steel-Wire-Reinforced Aluminum

摘要

Aluminum materials are strengthened through embedding or inter-calation of fine steel wires by sintering. These wires should be parallel to each other and aligned in the direction of the stress to be received by the finished product. With a proportion of approximately 50 vol-% of steel wires, the tensile strength of the unreinforced alloy is increased approximately to triple its original value.
