Thermomechanical behavior of metal-matrix composite materials is investigated. Boron carbide B4C and high-strength aluminum alloy 6061-T6 are used as strengthening particle and matrix materials, respectively. Microstructure of the metal-matrix composite takes into account the complex shape of particles explicitly. Isotropic elastoplastic and elastic-brittle models were used to simulate the mechanical response of the aluminum matrix and ceramic particles, respectively. To investigate the crack initiation and propagation in ceramic particles, a Huber type fracture criterion was chosen that takes into account the type of the local stress state in ceramic materials: bulk tension or compression. The composite material with a single particle of both the really observed in the experiment and ideally round shapes is considered. The influence of the residual thermal stresses arising during cooling of the composite material from the temperature of aluminum recrystallization to the room temperature on the character of plastic strain localization in the aluminum matrix and fracture of carbide particles and on the macroscopic strength of the composite under external tension or compression is studied numerically. Two-dimensional dynamic boundary value problems in the plane-stress and plane-strain formulations were solved numerically by the finite element method using the Explicit module of the Abaqus software package. VUMAT subroutine procedures incorporating the constitutive models were developed and integrated into the Abaqus solver. Based on the results of the numerical simulation, it was concluded that the residual thermal stresses arising during cooling lead to the change in the mechanism of the particle fracture from in-particle cracking to debonding and increase the strength of the composite subjected to tension after the cooling.

Aluminum-based metal matrix composites offer unique combinations of high specific strength and high stiffness. The improvement in strength and stiffness is related to the particulate reinforcement and the particular matrix alloy chosen. In this way, the metal matrix composite can be tailored for specific materials applications. The microstructural characterization of metal matrix composites is thus important in the development of these materials. In this study, the structure of a p/m 2014-SiC particulate metal matrix composite has been examined after extrusion and tensile deformation.Thin-foil specimens of the 2014-20 vol.% SiCp metal matrix composite were prepared by dimpling to approximately 35 μm prior to ion-milling using a Gatan Dual Ion Mill equipped with a cold stage. These samples were then examined in a Philips 400T TEM/STEM operated at 120 kV. Two material conditions were evaluated: after extrusion (80:1); and after tensile deformation at 250°C.

It is expected that the demand for Metal Matrix Composite (MMCs) will increase in these applications in the aerospace and automotive industries sectors, strengthened AMC has different advantages over monolithic aluminium alloy as it has characteristics between matrix metal and reinforcement particles.  However, adequate joining technique, which is important for structural materials, has not been established for (MMCs) yet. Conventional fusion welding is difficult because of the irregular redistribution or reinforcement particles.  Also, the reaction between reinforcement particles and aluminium matrix as weld defects such as porosity in the fusion zone make fusion welding more difficult. The aim of this work was to show friction stir welding (FSW) feasibility for entering Al 6061/5 to Al 6061/18 wt. % SiCp composites has been produced by using stir casting technique. SiCp is added as reinforcement in to Aluminium alloy (Al 6061) for preparing metal matrix composite. This method is less expensive and very effective. Different rotational speeds,1000 and 1800 rpm and traverse speed 10 mm \ min was examined. Specimen composite plates having thick 10 mm were FS welded successfully. A high-speed steel (HSS) cylindrical instrument with conical pin form was used for FSW. The outcome revealed that the ultimate tensile strength of the welded joint (Al 6061/18 wt. %) was 195 MPa at rotation speed 1800 rpm, the outcome revealed that the ultimate tensile strength of the welded joint (Al 6061/18 wt.%) was 165 MPa at rotation speed 1000 rpm, that was very near to the composite matrix as-cast strength. The research of microstructure showed the reason for increased joint strength and microhardness. The microstructural study showed the reason (4 %) for higher joint strength and microhardness.  due to Significant   of SiCp close to the boundary of the dynamically recrystallized and thermo mechanically affected zone (TMAZ) was observed through rotation speed 1800 rpm. The friction stir welded ultimate tensile strength Decreases as the volume fraction increases of SiCp (18 wt.%).
