Impact of BN and WC Particulate Reinforcements on Mechanical Properties and Damage Development of Al-2048 Metal Matrix Composites by T. Sivakumar, Chikkappa Udagani, M. Sivaranjani, M. Sudhakar, Reem Mohammed Alharbi, Neveen Abdel-Raouf, Ibraheem Borie M. Ibraheem, Essam Nageh Sholkamy, Mahadeo A. Mahadik, Simon Yishak

“…The fraction of broken particles in the 20v% WC/Al-2048 composite as a function of strain is much higher than that in the 15v% BN/Al-2048 composite. Because of their tolerance for substantial strain at the interface, maximum K1c, and moderate thermal extension, BN elements can share a lot of loads and provide more excellent reinforcement than WC particles in terms of composite strength and flexibility.…”
