Microstructure and wear characterization of Al2O3 reinforced silver coated copper matrix composites by electroless plating and hot pressing methods
Abstract Copper-based composites are frequently used in areas such as contacts, contactors, switches etc. where electrical conductivity and tribological properties play a critical. In this work, the microstructure, electrical and wear properties of silver plated copper powder matrix and Al2O3 reinforced composites fabricated by electroless silver plating (ESP) and hot pressing were investigated. Copper powders with different morphologies fabricated by mechanical milling (MM) were used as matrix ...

The microstructures and mechanical properties of a 5vol%SiC/AA2024 nanocomposite fabricated by powder metallurgy
Abstract A 5vol%SiC/AA2024 nanocomposite was prepared by a powder metallurgy routine involving high energy ball milling (HEBM), spark plasma sintering (SPS) and hot extrusion. The microstructures and mechanical properties of the 5vol%SiC/AA2024 nanocomposite samples prepared using different HEBM and SPS times were investigated in detail. It was found that increasing the milling time from 12 to 24 h caused refinement of Al grains and better dispersion of SiC nanoparticles, leading to a significan...

Abstract In the present work, the effect of aging temperature and particle size ratio of SiC particles on the mechanical and tribological properties of A357 composites reinforced with dual particle size SiC were investigated. The composites were prepared by melt-stirring assisted permanent mold casting technique with different weight fractions (3% coarse +3% fine, 4% coarse +2% fine, and 2% coarse +4% fine) of large and small size SiC particles. These three prepared composites are referred as DP...
