It is known that Cu and Ni coating layers provide different surface energy functionalities when coated onto ceramic particles with a range of particle sizes. This is known to be due to some extent to the kinetic aspects in the bath during the electroless deposition process. In this study, A356-based composites reinforced by 1.5 wt. % large Al2O3 and 1.5 wt. % fine SiC particles were fabricated by...
