Metal Matrix Composites (where to buy?)

[engineer23]

Hello! I am a grad student and am trying to acquire some Aluminum Metal Matrix composites with Boron Carbide reinforcement (15-20%) for research. I need the material to be in 1/4" thick sheets. Does anyone know of any companies that sell this sort of material?

Thanks!

I would like to know why you select B4C/Al metal matrix composites as your research target?

Dear all:

For the chemical-physical properties of these composites I should first check various online sources.

Good luck,
