Producing Particulate Reinforced Composites

Summary

Purdue University researchers have developed a method to improve the noted in situ method by applying acoustic vibrations to separate the reaction products from the large particles initially added to the melt. This new method produces smaller, more spherical reaction products and encourages chemical cooling, making it possible to increase the strength, hardness, and wear resistance of many metals and alloys such as aluminum and magnesium. Al and Mg alloys, in particular, are lightweight materials that have increasing applications in the defense and transportation industries.
