High-performance joining technology for aluminium matrix composites using ultrasonic-assisted brazing

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

High-performance aluminium matrix composite joints were fabricated using a new joining technology assisted by ultrasonic vibration. The performance of the joints was close to that of the parent materials. The microstructure and the mechanical performance were found to be systematically dependent on the volume fraction and the distribution of reinforcement particles in the bond region. The authors believe that this study can be generalised to the bonding of other ceramic-reinforced metal matrix composites.
