Effects of Reinforcements Type on Mechanical Properties of Metal Matrix Composites

보강재의 형태와 종류가 금속복합재료의 기계적 물성에 미치는 영향 연구

In this research, tile effects of reinforcements type on mechanical properties of MMCs were studied. Six kinds preform were fabricated by using Saffil short fiber, HTZ short fiber, $Al_2O_3$ particle, and SiC particle. MMCs were fabricated by using squeeze casting methods. Various tests were conducted to show the effects of reinforcements type on mechanical properties of MMCs. Tensile and compressive properties of MMCs depend on short fiber, however wear properties depend on particle reinforcement. Generally, properties of fiber/particle hybrid MMCs were excellent than those of MMCs with short fiber.
