Study of iron-based composite materials using modelling and simulation.

Composite materials are materials composed of two or more components that have different physical and chemical properties. These properties complement each other to create a material with unique properties that cannot be achieved by using the individual components alone. Modelling the effect of preparation processes on the properties of composite materials is an important tool to predict the properties of a material prior to its manufacture. This can help in optimizing the preparation technology and obtaining the desired material properties. In the present work the topicality of the problem of iron-based composite materials and the possibilities of modelling and simulation of selected models are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
