SUMMARY
The discussion centers on acquiring Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites (AMMC) reinforced with 15-20% Boron Carbide (B4C) in 1/4" thick sheets for research purposes. Participants recommend suppliers such as MSC Industrial Supply Company and Goodfellow, as well as Hardwire LLC, for sourcing these materials. The need for understanding the chemical-physical properties of these composites is also highlighted, suggesting further research into online resources.
