Aluminium AA6061 Matrix Composite Reinforced with Spherical Alumina Particles Produced by Infiltration: Perspective on Aerospace Applications

Figure 5

Specific stiffness and specific bending stiffness comparison between spherical and angular PRMMC, commercial MMCs, reference AA6061 alloy and aerospace alloys AA2024, and AIRWARE 2196. Densities for specific stiffness calculation: spherical and angular PRMMC from Table 2, Duralcan from [10], Boralcan from measurements, AA6061 and AA2024 from [12], and AIRWARE 2196 from Constellium product datasheet.
