The response of two different types of aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) reinforced with silicon carbide ceramic particulates or nickel metallic particulates to hot compression testing parameters was evaluated. The composites were produced via two-step stir-casting technique. Axisymmetric compression testing was performed on the samples at different deformation temperatures of 220 and 370 °Ϲ, 0.5 and 5 s−1 strain rates and total strains of 0.6 and 1.2. The initial and post-deformed microstructures were studied using optical and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that flow stress was significantly influenced by imposed deformation parameters and the type of reinforcements used in the AMCs. Nickel particulate reinforced aluminium matrix composite (AMC) showed superior resistance to deformation in comparison with silicon carbide reinforced AMC under the different testing conditions. In both AMCs, work hardening, dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallisation influenced their response to imposed parameters. The signature of dynamic recrystallisation was very apparent in aluminium matrix composite reinforced with nickel particulates.

The effective properties of metal matrix composites (MMCs) depend on matrix material and reinforcement property specifications as well as bonding at interphase. The use of numerical methods such as finite element (FE) and mean field homogenization (MFH) can assist in predicting MMC properties thus reducing time and cost of optimizing composite properties through experiments. In the present work, a multiscale representative volume element (RVE) of the microstructure of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) reinforced Aluminium (Al) matrix composite (rGO/Al) is created in MSC DigiMat and analysed using Abaqus software. The effect of porosity and rGO reinforcement on thermal conductivity and strength of the rGO/Al composites is studied. The variation in thermal conductivity between FE-RVE and experimental data is a maximum of 2.2% and a minimum of 0.07% for rGO reinforcement of 1 wt.% and 3 wt.% respectively. The results show good agreement between FE-RVE simulation, MFH and experimental data. This approach can provide an efficient technique for selecting matrix and reinforcement phase properties for MMC fabrication.
