COMPOSITES
INTRODUCTON
Engineer traditional considered the metal the most important class of engineering
materials, but interesting to know that composites are more appreciable and
abundant use in nature.
COMPOSITES???
“Composites is a material composed two or more physically distinct
phases whose combination produce aggregate properties that are different from
those of it’s constituents”
Question arises.
PROPERTIES OF COMPOSITES:
EXAMPLES:
Cemented carbide, rubber mixed with carbon black, Titanium carbide (TiC),
Chromium carbide (Cr3C2),Tantalum carbide (TaC) etc.
CLASSIFICATION OF COMPOSITE
MATERIALS
Composites material consist of two distinct types by nature.
Traditional composites:
wood.
Concrete.
Bamboo.
Adobe bricks. ( mud and straw).
Synthetic composites:
Different types of composites are invent to achieve our desire material
properties, linked with modern material system associated with industries, like cermets,
cemented carbides.

Manufacturing and forming methods
Solid state methods:
Powder blending and consolidation (powder metallurgy): Powdered metal and
discontinuous reinforcement are mixed and then bonded through a process of compaction,
degassing, and thermo-mechanical treatment (possibly via hot isostatic pressing (HIP) or
extrusion).
Foil diffusion bonding: Layers of metal foil are sandwiched with long fibers, and then
pressed through to form a matrix.
Matrix materials are usually silicon carbide, silicon nitride and aluminum
oxide, and mullite (compound of aluminum, silicon and oxygen). They
retain their strength up to 3000 oF.

PROPERTIES OF CMC
ADVANTAGES:
High stiffness, hardness, hot hadness.
Compressive strenght.
Low density.
DISADVANTAGES:
Low toughness.
Thermal cracking.
TECHICAL DIFFICULTIES:
Difficulties including thermal and chemical compatibility of the
constituents in the CMC, during proccessing and also limting
ceramic material used.
MATERIALS FOR CMC.
PRIMARY PHASE MATERIALS(MATRIX) SECONDRY PHASE
MATERIALS(REINFORCING AGENT)

Conclusion:
There is so many categories of engineering materials are using
in the whole world and further advancements and modifications are
happening in that all. After examine our environments and world
resources further we have to compete for the materials that are able
to be
Recycled again and again.
