The latest development in aircraft and aerospace structures is composite materials, which provide high strength, high stiffness, corrosion resistance, ease of fabrication, lower weight and eventual fuel savings. ...The strength/stiffness-to-weight ratio of composite materials has been proved higher than metals. Along with the development of materials, a very essential aspect is their maintenance and inspection. ...Only a few equipment are available at this time to enable effective inspection of composite material failures - delamination, disbonding, water ingestion, fiber fretting etc, which are quite different from metal failures.

The technology was proposed of production of copper-nickel composite micro-powders by the gaseous deposition of nickel on the surface of copper powder. The vaporization of nickel was implemented by using magnetron. ...The possibility of using of obtained composite powder in selective laser melting (SLM) was evaluated. It is assumed that the structure of the obtained composite material (SLM) will have inclusions of nickel and continuous chain of copper. ...It is assumed that the structure of the obtained composite material (SLM) will have inclusions of nickel and continuous chain of copper. This structure will have high mechanical properties and high electrical conductivity.

Microstructural studies were conducted on specimens of cast and hot extruded base alloy, it’s composite & hybrid composite. Slurry erosive wear tests were performed by using 312 μm size silica sand particles in 3.5% NaCl solution. ...In recent decades, silicon nitride (Si3N4) and carbon fibres (Cf) have been the most popular candidate materials as reinforcements in the production of metal matrix composites (MMCs) due to their superior wear and corrosion resistance. Al6061 is the most sought after matrix alloy owing to its excellent formability among all class of aluminium alloys. ...Several researchers have reported on dry sliding wear and corrosion properties of cast composite with carbon fibres and silicon nitride as reinforcements but limited information is available related to the slurry erosive wear behaviour of hot extruded hybrid MMCs with carbon fibre as one of the reinforcement.
