Thermo-compression processing optimizes Cu/SiC composites, improving strength and toughness by improving particle ...

The thermomechanical characteristics of metals and alloys can also be improved by controlling the nano-/microstructure of the materials. Melting points and sintering temperatures can be reduced up to ...

For years, there has been a growing demand for materials that are lightweight with high mechanical strength. Metal matrix composites (MMCs) were developed in order to fulfill this demand and provide ...

This article was updated May 11, 2023. It was originally published June 1, 2017. Engineers often design structures and components out of metals such as steel and aluminum because of their strength and ...

According to Jacob Nuechterlein, co-founder and solutions developer for Elementum 3D, the aluminum alloy used in the company’s newly invented metal matrix composite (MMC) is not 3D-printable on its ...

Metal-matrix composites are either in use or prototyping for the Space Shuttle, commercial airliners, electronic substrates, bicycles, automobiles, golf clubs, and a variety of other applications.

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are composite materials containing at least two constituent parts – a metal part and a material or a different metal part. The metal matrix is reinforced with the other ...
