Fabrication & properties of aluminium-silicon carbide (A1/SiC) composite material

A composite material is the material that consisting of two or more chemically or physically specific phase. The reinforcing component is distributed in continuous or matrix components. When the matrix is metal, the composite is namely metal matrix composite (MMC). In this research study, the metal...
