Effect of inert gas blowing on the microstructure and mechanical properties of semi-solid cast Al–20 %Mg2Si composite by Moein G. Shabestari, Ahad Nasimi Asl, Saeed G. Shabestari

“…The morphology and particle size of the primary Mg2Si intermetallic compounds significantly influence the mechanical properties of the in-situ Al–Mg2Si composite. This study investigates, for the first time, the effect of argon inert gas blowing in the semi-solid state or gas induced semi-solid (GISS) at varying durations, flow rates, and temperatures on the microstructure, hardness, and tensile properties of the Al–20 %Mg2Si in-situ composite. …”

Hybrid fibre-reinforced cementitious composites with short polyethylene and continue carbon fibres: Influence of roving impregnation on tensile and cracking behaviour by Cesare Signorini, Ameer H. Ahmed, Marco Liebscher, Jitong Zhao, Thomas Köberle, Viktor Mechtcherine

“…On the one hand, the improved adhesion promoted by cement impregnation resulted in the finest and most diffuse crack pattern. Conversely, the strength of the overall composite is mainly governed by the tensile failure of the yarns, irrespective of the bond, and dispersed fibres consistently improve the post-cracking stage and the strength of the hybrid composites.…”
