AL5052 /SiC/AL2O3 Metal Matrix Composites: Characterization

Aluminium and its alloys have been highly sought after in applications for engineering since the early twentieth century, because to their outstanding adaptability. These materials boast owing physical and mechanical properties being relatively lightweight, making them highly appealing for various uses. Their high strength-to-weight ratio, specially finds aluminium as a material that the aerospace industry uses for structures, automotive, and high rise erection. Besides, Aluminium has excellent electrical and thermal properties, almost half of pure copper's conductivity combined with its solid mechanical strength, makes it a suitable choice for power transmission cables.
