| Abstract Scope |
Significant advancements in design and manufacturing of metal matrix composites are required to address emerging societal challenges. The necessary breakthroughs will require the reevaluation of existing MMC design and processing paradigms. Instead of conventional powder metallurgy and casting techniques, alternative strategies are needed to transform MMC materials and component design. Several examples will be highlighted in this presentation, including the application of additive manufacturing with carefully selected alloy compositions and the use of high-speed photography and numerical modeling to understand and predict heterogeneous particle flow behavior, and creative material designs such as foams and coated particles. These examples demonstrate that transformative results can be achieved through clever use of creative metal matrix composite chemistries and innovative materials processing methods. |
