The conventional forming process such as squeeze casting or die casting for fabricating metal matrix composites products have a disadvantage such as non homogenous distribution of reinforcement, weak bonding between matrix and reinforcement and cost increase in parts fabrication. Thixoforming process has been accepted as a new method for fabricating the net shaped metal matrix composites with lightweight and wear resistance. In this paper, the effect of volume fraction and reinforcement sizes on mechanical properties in cylinder liner part of metal matrix composites has been investigated with processes parameters such as pressure and velocity. Moreover, the methods to obtain the thixoforged composites cylinder liner with high quality has been proposed. To evaluate the composites cylinder linear fabricated at the conditions proposed in this study, mechanical properties of fabricated composites cylinder linear were compared with those of commercial composites cylinder linear.

The metal matrix composites(MMC) are currently receiving a great deal of attention. These composites possess exellent mechanical and physical properties such as modulus, strength, wear resistance and thermal stability, which make them very attractive for use in automotive piston. In this study, $Al/{Al_2}{O_3}$(15%) composites are fabricated by the squeeze casting method. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength and ductility are performed at room and elevated temperature($250^{\circ}C$ and $350^{\circ}C$), respectively. Through thermomechanical analyser, thermal expansion coefficient of $Al/{Al_2}{O_3}$ composites are conducted for ranging from room temperature to ($400^{\circ}C$.And bending fatigue tests are also performed by the rotary bending machine at room temperature.The tensile strength and elastic modulus have been improved up to 38% and 35% by the addition of the reinforcements, respectively. Thermal expansion coefficients of MMCs which is located normal and parralel to the applied pressure are showed slightly different less than 10%. Fatigue strengh of the composite was improved by about 20% compared with that of unreinforced Al alloy. The results of this study will be used to understand the basic fracture behavior of MMCs and eventually to expand the applocation of MMCs as a machine parts undertaken various loadings.

Metal matrix composites had generated a lot of interest in recent times because of significant in specific properties. It was also highlighted as the materials of frontier industry because strength, heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant were superiored. In this study the strength properties of $Al_{18}B_4O_{33}/AC4CH$ were represented mixing the binder of $Al_2O_3$ and $TiO_2$. It was also fabricated by squeeze casting. $Al_{18}B_4O_{33}/AC4CH$ was fabricated at the melt temperature of $760^{\circ}C$ the perform temperature of $700^{\circ}C$ and mold temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ under the pressure of 83.4MPa and observed SEM. Fatigue crack growth rate tests on compact tension specimen(half-size) of thickness 12.5mm were conducted by using sinusoidal waveform. Compact tension specimens(half-size) were used and fatigue crack growth rate da/dN and stress intensity factor range ${\Delta}K$ were analyzed concerning to the R value of 0.1 and 0.05. In order to find out the value of ${\Delta}K$, load amplitude constant method was applied by the standard fatigue testing method describes in ASTM E647-95a. As the results of this study, Fatigue crack growth rate increased with in creasing the load ratio, Consequently, At equivalent stress intensity factors, the fatigue crack growth rates in MMC were faster than those of AC4CH alloy. then the fatigue life and the fatigue crack growth rate was investigated using scanning election microscopy(SEM)

가압주조법을 이용하여 전자 패키징용 고부피분율 $SiC_p/Al$ 금속복합재료를 제조하였다. $SiC_p$ 예비성형체를 제조하기 위하여 예비성형체 금형을 고안하였으며, $Al_2O_{3f}$섬유 보강재를 $SiC_p$ 입자 보강재의 1/10비율로 첨가하고, 무기 성형제($SiO_2$)를 0.8% 이하로 사용하여 49~70 vol.% 의 예비성형체 제작에 성공하였다. 제조된 고부피분율 예비성형체로 금속용탕을 원활히 침투시키기 위해 온도, 가압력 등의 제조조건을 정하였으며, 이러한 새로이 고안된 금형조건을 FEM 열전도 해석에 도입하여 금속복합재료 제조시 몰드 내부에서 발생하는 온도변화를 분석하였다. 제조된 금속복합재료에 대해서는 충격특성 및 열팽창계수 특성평가를 실시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 제조된 금속복합재료의 충격흡수 에너지는 0.2~0.3J, 열팽창계수는 $8~10ppm/^{\circ}C$, 밀도는 $2.9~3.0g/cm^3$로 나타나 패기징 재료로서 적합한 특징을 가진 복합재료가 성공적으로 개발되었음을 확인하였다.

This study developed Fiber/Particle Hybrid MMCs and analyzed their mechanical properties. Using $\textrm{Al}_2\textrm{O}_3f$ and $\textrm{Al}_2\textrm{O}_3p$ with the fiber to particle ratio of 1:1, 1:3, 1:5 hybrid preform and MMCs are fabricated. For the analysis of the mechanical properties, three point bending tests were preformed for the preform and tensile test for the MMCs. The experimental results show that the hybrid MMCs can be successfully fabricated using the equipment of fiber preform fabrication system and squeeze casting method. And as the amount of particle in hybrid MMCs increases, the tensile strength, elastic modulus and the volume fraction of reinforcement increases.

This study developed SiC/Al composites for electronic packaging to which reinforcements were added with the volume fractions of 49%, 56% and 63% by the squeeze casting method. 0.8 wt.% of the inorganic binder as well as the $Al_2O_3$ fiber and SiC particles with the volume fraction of 1:10 were added to the SiC/Al composites For the produced SiC/Al composites, the CTEs (coefficients of thermal expansion) were measured from 30 to $300^{\circ}C$ and compared with the FEM numerical simulation to analyze the temperature dependent properties. The experiment showed the CTEs of SiC/Al composites that were intermediate values of those of Rule of Mixture and Turner's Model. The CTEs were close to Turner's Model in the room temperature and approached the Rule of Mixture as the temperature increases. These properties analyzed from the difference of the average stress acting between the matrix and the reinforcements proposed in this study

The effects of short fiber and particle hybrid reinforcement on fatigue crack propagation behaviors in aluminum matrix composites have been investigated. Single and hybrid reinforced 6061 aluminum containing same 20 $Al_2O_3\;volume\%$ with four different constituent ratios of short fibers and particles were prepared by squeeze casting method and tested to check the near-threshold and stable crack growth behavior. The fatigue threshold of the composites increased with portion of particle contents and showed the improved crack resistance especially in low stress intensity range. Addition of particle instead of short fiber also increased fracture toughness due to increase of inter-reinforcement distance. These increase in both fatigue threshold and fracture toughness eventually affected the fatigue crack growth behavior such that the crack growth curve shift low to high stress intensity factor value. Overall experimental results were shown that particle reinforcement was enhanced the fatigue crack resistance over the whole stress intensity factor range.
