Abstract

Particle reinforced metal matrix composites (MMC`s) exhibit improved stiffness, strength and creep resistance while retaining relatively low density. The discontinuously reinforced MMCs can be fabricated by conventional metal working techniques, such as rolling or extrusion; thus, they have the potential to be used in industry as replacements for conventional Al alloys and steels for special purposes. The previous research shows that the hot deformation properties of MMCs are strongly dependent upon processing temperature, strain rate and microstructural characteristics. The aim of this research is to reveal the deformation behavior and mechanisms during hot deformation of 10 vol% Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}/6061 Al.
