Characterization of aluminum alloy 2618 and its composites containing alumina particles

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) combine a stiff but brittle phase, typically a ceramic, with a more ductile metal matrix. The correct fractional combination of materials can result in a material with improved stiffness, creep resistance, yield stress, and wear resistance relative to the monolithic ma...
