Composite Materials with Ceramic and Metallic Particles Reinforced Clay Matrix

Abstract

The paper includes a research on the obtaining characteristics and mechanical properties of the composites with Al₂O₃, SiC, Cu, Al and Fe particles reinforced clay and bentonite ceramic matrix. Were obtained four types of composite materials namely: Al₂O₃ and SiC particles reinforced clay matrix, Al₂O₃ and SiC particles reinforced bentonite matrix, Al₂O₃, SiC, Cu, Al and Fe particles reinforced clay matrix and Al₂O₃, SiC, Cu, Al and Fe particles reinforced bentonite matrix. The composites prepared were subjected to a study to analyze the mechanical properties (compressive resistance).
