Abstract
In this thesis, the design and development of novel multilayered MAX reinforced metal (MRMs) composites is reported. In literature, different studies have focused on MAX Reinforced Metals (MRMs) composites, however no research on MRMs have been on multilayered composites. In this thesis, two different types of composites were designed, (a) Type I, and (b) Type II multilayered composites. In type I composites, MRMs layers were interleaved between metal layers to create a multilayered composite. Similarly, in Type II composites - MRMs were interleaved with two different types of metal layers. In the Chapter II, synthesis of the Ni-Ti3SiC2 multilayered Type I and II composites, and their mechanical and tribological behavior have been reported. In Chapter III, a commercial AlSi alloy was substituted with pure Ni as the metal matrix to design Type I composites. The detailed microstructure, mechanical, and tribological behavior will be reported in this thesis.
