Summary: The addition of graphene nanoparticles can enhance the flexural strength of metallic composites, but high concentrations can lead to an increase in micropores, severely affecting mechanical strength, and causing larger cracks around CBN abrasive grains. The mass fraction of graphene concentrations is optimized at 0.01 wt.% in terms of friction coefficient, wear morphology, and microstructure.

Summary: The microstructure and mechanical properties of porous SiC ceramic foam/Zr-based metallic glass interpenetrating phase composites were affected by pore density. The metallic glass infiltrated the open pores of the SiC ceramic foams to form an interconnected amorphous phase, with a diffusion layer between ceramic and glassy phases. Increasing pore density led to smaller metallic glass phase size and higher compressive strength in the composites. The brittle fracture was attributed to premature destruction of SiC foams, while friction tests showed that SiC reinforcement reduced adhesive wear and plastic deformation of the composites.

Summary: Cocklebur-inspired nanoengineering was utilized to design the interfacial structure in graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs)/Ti matrix composites. This study fabricated GNPs/Ti composites using spark plasma sintering and heat treatment, forming TiB whiskers (TiBw) that effectively strengthened the interfaces. The presence of TiBw restrained interface debonding and delayed the destruction of TiC layer, leading to enhanced strength without sacrificing ductility in GNPs-(TiBw)/Ti composites.
