Abstract
Aluminum-based metal matrix composites (Al MMCs) are attractive materials that can be used in various industrial fields. In this study, we investigate the preparation of a highly anisotropic stainless steel fibers (SSFs) reinforced aluminum composite by a hot extrusion process. The main results obtained in this test are as follows: (1) The microstructure and properties of the extruded composites are closely related to the hot extrusion conditions, such as temperature, pressure, extrusion speed, etc. (3) The porous microstructure and weak interface bonding lead to a low tensile strength.
