This paper presents the findings of porosity effects on the mechanical properties of cast discontinuous reinforced metal-matrix composites (DRMMCs). Aluminum-silicon alloy composite specimens are produced by the stir casting method with varied content of reinforcing silicon carbide (SiC) particles f...
