The current research was performed to determine the mechanical, metallurgical, and physical performance of regular bronze alloy (Cu–Sn) alloy reinforced with silicon nitride (5, 10, 15 wt%). The metal matrix composite was fabricated through a stir casting technique which was then poured into a metal mould to produce cast rods of dimensions ф 32mm × 140 mm in length. The metallurgical study was conducted on all the samples using field emission scanning electron microscopy, XRD analysis, and transmission electron microscopy analysis on 5 wt% reinforced composites. It was observed that metal matrix composite reinforced with 5 wt% of Si₃N₄ revealed uniform distribution, pore-free, and perfect bonding of reinforcement with the matrix. The same sample showed a high hardness, tensile strength, yield strength, and low ductility value compared to regular bronze alloy. It was also noted that adding 10 and 15 wt% of ceramic reinforcement to the bronze matrix decreased the mechanical characteristics of the fabricated composites owing to the development of clusters and agglomerated state of Si₃N₄ ceramic particles in the matrix. The fabricated 5 wt% of Si₃N₄-based metal matrix composite showed enhanced performances suggesting its use in manufacturing several parts for the automotive and marine industry.

目前的研究旨在确定用氮化硅（5、10、15 wt%）增强的普通青铜合金 (Cu-Sn) 合金的机械、冶金和物理性能。通过搅拌铸造技术制造金属基复合材料，然后将其倒入金属模具中以生产尺寸为ф32mm×140mm长的铸棒。使用场发射扫描电子显微镜、XRD 分析和透射电子显微镜分析对 5 wt% 的增强复合材料对所有样品进行冶金研究。观察到用 5 wt% Si ₃ N _{4增强的金属基复合材料}显示出均匀分布，无孔，以及增强与基体的完美结合。与普通青铜合金相比，同一样品显示出较高的硬度、抗拉强度、屈服强度和较低的延展性值。还注意到，在青铜基体中添加 10 和 15 wt% 的陶瓷增强材料会降低所制造复合材料的机械特性，这是由于基体中 Si ₃ N ₄陶瓷颗粒的簇和团聚状态的发展。制造的 5 wt% 的 Si ₃ N ₄基金属基复合材料表现出增强的性能，表明其可用于制造汽车和船舶工业的多个零件。
