This project involved the processing of Al-Li based metal matrix composites reinforced with Cu-coated SiCp. A high deformation process was adopted where conventional tumbling mixing was followed by cold isostatic pressing (CIP). The green compact was then hot pressed and hot extruded, at 530°C and 5...
