The effect of sintering temperature and the amount of reinforcement on the properties of Al–Al2O3 composite

The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of the amount of reinforcement on the properties of Al–Al2O3 composite. Alumina particles were mixed with Aluminum particles in the range of 0–20 wt.%. The average particle sizes for the matrix and reinforcement were 30 and 12 μm, respectively. The samples were prepared at two levels of sintering temperature for a constant sintering time of 45 min. It was illustrated that at high weight...
