Thermophysical properties of Al-based metal matrix composites suitable for automotive brake discs

The present work investigates the effects of Ni, Cu, La, and Ce on the thermophysical properties of aluminium-based metal matrix composites. Transition metals and rare-earth elements were added to improve the mechanical performance of the material to above 420 °C, which is the maximum operating temp...
