Goal
The goal of our project is to design a manufacturing process to create a selectively reinforced metal matrix composite.
This project will take the theory developed in Jess Wannasin’s thesis work and scale up to part production.

Hardness Tests
Preparation Cut samples with low-speed saw to obtain smooth
surface blade is material specific part is a combination of materials of very different materials
Polished with 5-micron polishing paper
Results: used Rockwell B and H (low hardness) Pure tin-lead: off-the-scale on the low end hardness MMC: on-scale but low MMC is harder than plain tin-lead

Etchers
Ceramic particles not visible on all parts
Etching may be necessary cutting may have melted metal around
ceramic particles and obscured them from view
we’d like to see the particles so we can characterize them with SEM
Further research into possible etchers
