#13320, Toughening Mechanism of Silicon Wiskers & Alumina (gamma-Al2O3) Fibres reinforced Ni-Al-Cu matrix Composites through Sintering+ Forging

In this study, the microstructural formation and static / dynamic compression behavior of recycled Ni-Al-Cu matrix hybrid composites reinforced with Silicon wiskers and alumina (Al2O3) fibres will be studied. It is aimed to be an alternative to traditional alloys/composites used in the aeronautic industry. These composites are generally produced using by combined sinter + forging processes. The static and dynamic properties will be evaluated in detail, taking into account the relevant Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) microstructures (including the distribution of reinforcement elements).
