Silicon Nitride Whisker-Reinforced Aluminum Matrix Composites: Twinning and Precipitation Behavior

Aluminum composites reinforced with ceramic whiskers exhibited a unique combination of high specific strength and superior specific modulus. A 20 vol.% Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4w</sub>/Al-11.5Si-1.0Mg-0.5Cu-0.5Ni (wt.%) composite was fabricated via squeeze casting in the present...
