X-ray welding of metal-matrix composites. ... MMCs are composed of a metal (usually Ti or Al) within which a reinforcing ceramic (usually Al2O3 or SiC) particulate, whisker, or fiber is imbedded. These materials are lighter and have superior mechanical and thermal properties as compared to the base metal and are finding widespread use in many areas. They have great potential for use in the aerospace industry, provided a joining process that maintains the strength of the material can be found. 1, record 2, English, - metal%2Dmatrix%20composite

Les matériaux composites à matrice métallique(MMCs) sont de plus en plus utilisés industriellement car leurs propriétés mécaniques sont meilleures que celles des alliages non renforcés. Les alliages d’aluminium sont généralement renforcés par des particules de carbure de silicium(SiC). Ce type de composite est réputé pour sa résistance spécifique et sa résistance à l'usure élevées mais également pour sa faible usinabilité. 3, record 2, French, - mat%C3%A9riau%20composite%20%C3%A0%20matrice%20m%C3%A9tallique

In most steels it is desired to eliminate the particles formed by the reaction of the deoxidizer with the oxygen. ... Free machining steels are exceptions where many small uniformly distributed particles of certain types are desired. These particles lubricate the cutting tool, prevent welding of the cut chip to the tool tip, and cause the chip to break into short pieces. Additions of lead, sulfur, manganese sulfide, selenium, and tellurium to the steel improve the machining properties of steels in this manner. 1, record 3, English, - free%20machining%20steel
