Effect of reinforcement volume fraction on the mechanical properties of the Al-SiC nanocomposite materials

Particle reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) has emerged as one of the potential materials for structural application due to their superior mechanical properties. However, these MMCs have poor damage tolerance due to their low fracture toughness. The volume fraction of reinforcement plays a si...
