  By B. Vennela, J. Suresh Kumar, K. Chinna Maddaiah, M. Ranjith Kumar

  Abstract: Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have significant attention in recent years due to their potential for improved mechanical properties compared to conventional monolithic materials. This study focuses on the microstructure and mechanical characterization of a MMC comprising AA390 aluminum alloy reinforced with Si3N4 particles. The severe plastic deformation (SPD) process, Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP), was employed to fabricate the composite with enhanced mechanical properties. The ECAP method was chosen as …
