Summary: This study successfully overcomes the trade-off between strength and ductility in particulate reinforced metal matrix composites (PRMMCs) through architecture design that enables multi-mechanism coordination of strengthening and toughening. High-density stacking faults (SFs) were introduced in aluminum composites with a heterogeneous architecture consisting of micro/nano particles and ultrafine/coarse grains. It was demonstrated that the in-situ formed, uniformly dispersed MgO nanoparticles (n-MgO) can act as vehicles to carry interfacial-stress-induced SFs. The size and dispersion of n-MgO could be tailored to effectively manipulate SFs across the matrix, resulting in a well-balanced combination of tensile strength (472 MPa) and ductility (8.9%) in the heterogeneous PRMMCs.

Summary: Many studies have shown that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can significantly strengthen pure aluminum and this study investigates whether the same strengthening effect can be achieved in a high-strength aluminum alloy. The results showed that while both composites had the same tensile strength, CNTs had a stronger reinforcing effect in pure aluminum than in the aluminum alloy, suggesting the influence of the matrix on the strengthening behavior of CNTs in aluminum matrix composites.

Summary: Machine learning and inverse design based on a genetic algorithm were used to design three aluminum alloy types to overcome the strength-ductility trade-off. The new alloys had superior composition compared to commercial alloys, and this was experimentally validated. Each alloy exhibited different precipitation types, with alloy 1 having spheroidal alpha-AlMnSi phase and alloys 2 and 3 having fine needle-type theta-series phase. The new alloys showed outstanding tensile strength without sacrificing ductility, suggesting the suitability of machine learning and inverse design methods in discovering new aluminum alloy types.

Summary: This study investigates the synergistic effect of SiCp on grain refinement and dispersion hardening in Al matrix composites produced by ball milling followed by hot rolling. Al grains are effectively refined by generating significant dislocations and subsequent dynamic recrystallization during milling. The presence of SiCp stimulates the grain refinement process by more effectively reducing the grain size to approximately 40 nm, resulting in a significant strength enhancement of approximately 325% compared to unmilled pure Al counterpart.

Summary: Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) treatment was used to modify aluminum (Al) alloys in order to improve bond strength with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). The treatment successfully created a porous surface with better hardness, roughness, and wetting, and introduced resin pre-coating (RPC) and carbon nanotube (CNT) fiber bridging to improve the bonding interface. The combined treatments significantly increased the bond strength by up to 156.1%, indicating the feasibility of MAO as an alternative method for manufacturing high-performance Al-CFRP composites in industrial production.
