Intermetallic-reinforced light-metal matrix in-situ composites

Transition-metal trialuminide intermetallics such as Al3Zr and A13Ti, having low densities and high elastic moduli, are good candidates for the in-situ reinforcement of light-metal matrices based on Al and Mg alloys. In this work, in-situ composites based on Al and Al-Mg matrices reinforced with an...

Description
Summary:Transition-metal trialuminide intermetallics such as Al3Zr and A13Ti, having low densities and high elastic moduli, are good candidates for the in-situ reinforcement of light-metal matrices based on Al and Mg alloys. In this work, in-situ composites based on Al and Al-Mg matrices reinforced with an A13Zr intermetallic were successfully processed by conventional ingot metallurgy.
