Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
In this chapter, an overview of the advancement and research efforts that
have been undertaken on CFR-MMC (carbon-fiber reinforced metal matrix-based
composites) during the last several decades is presented. Carbon fiber is widely
implemented in the construction sector for rehabilitation and structural repair projects.
Although, studies show that carbon fiber-reinforced metal-matrix (CFR-MMC) has a
bright future, the use of carbon fibre as a reinforcement in metal matrix is still in its
development. The uses, and traits of carbon fiber are discussed in general terms in this
study. The various traits such as mechanical, and structural properties of the resultant
CFR-MMC, are significantly influenced by the structure and content of the carbon fibre
as well as its bonding to the MM (Metal matrix). The effect on the various traits of
MMCs by CFs (Carbon fibers) was investigated. In addition, a detailed study on the
various synthesis approaches for the preparation of CFR-MMC has been taken into
practice in this book chapter.
