Abstract

In this study, the microstructural formation and static/dynamic compression behaviour of the recycled Ni-Al/Nb2Al/ZrO2 matrix-hybrid composites reinforced with Nb and ZrO2 will be studied. It is intended to be an alternative to traditional alloys/composites used in the aeronautical industry. These composites are generally produced by using combined sintering + forging processes. The static and dynamic properties will be evaluated in detail, considering the relevant scanning electron microscopy (SEM) microstructures, including the distribution of reinforcement elements.
