Under the condition of different magnetic induced intensity as1.5T, 2.0T and2.5T, AlTiZr particles reinforced 7055 aluminum matrix composites were subject to the magnetic impact processing. The structural evolution was observed by transmission electron microscope. The result shows that, magnetic impact processing can induce dislocation with different morphologies and increase the dislocation density. The enhancement of dislocation density and elastic interaction between them can cause the resistance of dislocation movement and improve the strength of material. The magnetic pressure may exceed the yield strength of special orientation crystal. The increased temperature induced by heat effect will lower the yield point further. It is useful to dislocation nucleation and movement.

In this paper was followed the processing flow of aluminum-alumina compositions (10÷20% alumina) in powder state, aiming to obtain aluminum matrix composites reinforced with alumina particles, starting from selecting and mixing the grading fraction of both components reaching up to sintering; it was analyzed the way in which reflects the variation of grading fraction ratio (expressed through average particle diameter in the analyzed fractions limits) on the level of technological interest features: apparent density, tapped density, flowability, presability and on densification after sintering (in various environments). By transmission electron microscopy was observed that aluminum particles showed on the surface a nanoscale oxide film, so the sintering occurs between congeneric areas – by solid phase sintering mechanisms [1, 2, 3]. The analysis of thermophysical properties revealed a decrease of thermal diffusivity at an increase of alumina, simultaneous with the decrease of the densification level.

Superplastic behavior of aluminum matrix composites with discontinuous reinforcements has been investigated in a temperature range below the melting temperature measured by differential scanning calorimetry. The experimental results of the mechanical properties revealed that the rate-controlling process of superplastic flow was associated with dislocation movement controlled by lattice self-diffusion. The strengthening due to the presence of reinforcements was retained. It is suggested that the strongest strengthening process of the dislocation-pileup mechanism and the diffusional relaxation-limitation or dislocation bypass mechanism affects the rate-controlling process.

In this research aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) was reinforced by titanium carbide (TiC) particles and was produced. Powder metallurgy technique (PM) has been used to fabricate AMCs reinforced with various amounts (0%, 4%, 8%, 12%, 16% and 20% volume fraction) of TiC particles to study the effect of different volume fractions on mechanical properties of the Al-TiC composites. Measurements of compression strength and hardness showed that mechanical properties of composites increased with an increase in volume fraction of TiC Particles. Al-20 % vol. TiC composites exhibited the best properties with hardness value (97HRB) and compression strength value (275Mpa).

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have been developed in response to the enormous demand for special industrial materials and structures for automotive and aerospace applications, wherein both high-strength and light weight are simultaneously required. The most common, inexpensive route to fabricate MMCs or metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) is based on casting, wherein reinforcements like nanoceramics, -carbides, -nitrides, elements or carbon allotropes are added to molten metal matrices; however, most of the mentioned reinforcements, especially those with nanosized reinforcing particles, have usually poor wettability with serious drawbacks like particle agglomerations and therefore diminished mechanical strength is almost always expected. Many research efforts have been made to enhance the affinity between the mating surfaces. The aim in this paper is to critically review and comprehensively discuss those approaches/routes commonly employed to boost wetting conditions at reinforcement-matrix interfaces. Particular attention is paid to aluminum matrix composites owing to the interest in lightweight materials and the need to enhance the mechanical properties like strength, wear, or creep resistance. It is believed that effective treatment(s) may enormously affect the wetting and interfacial strength.
