Abstract
Fe-Mn-Si based shape memory alloy is a new functional material that can be used to apply prestress to civil and structural components such as concrete structures. In this study, the effects of alloying elements Ni, C and Ti on the mechanical and shape memory properties of the alloy were investigated..... More

Abstract
The aim of this study is to establish an optimized hot-press sintering condition for aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) by analyzing their sintered microstructure and mechanical properties. The fabricated AMCs in this study consisted of a blend of commercial Ecka Alumix 431 powder, and Al-Si/SiC_p powder manufactured by gas atomizer (Al-Si/SiC_p)...... More
