Production of Aluminum-Matrix Composite Al-SiC Materials under High-Energy Exposure Conditions

There are many areas of industry, like automotive, aviation, rocket engineering, shipbuilding, and others, where aluminum matrix composite materials (AMCM) are widely used for structural and functional purposes due to their enhanced physical, mechanical, and operational properties. Technologies that use high-energy effects during the structure formation processes enable control the macro- and microstructure, strength, and performance characteristics of products for various purposes. The modern idea of effective management of material properties follows the possibility to create specific conditions that can affect radically the selforganization processes of material structures. The article presents the results of a study that demonstrates the possibility of obtaining the metal matrix composite Al-based material reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) particles under conditions of high-energy induction. It is shown that production process conditions influence the formation of the resulting aluminum matrix composite material structure.
