Study on different sintering temperature on the composite ferum and cobalt reinforced with silicon carbide

Particulate-reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) have become more attractive to researches because of the problem of anisotropy and high cost of fibre reinforced MMCs. This study involves the fabrication of MMCs with different sintering temperature. The composite mixed with different weight pe...
