Synthesis and mechanical properties of aluminum alloy 5083/SiCnp nanocomposites

Aluminum-based nanocomposites have been gaining significant attention due to their light weights, machinability, low coefficient of thermal expansions and high strengths. For these advantages, aluminum-based nanocomposites are widely used in marine and automobile industries. In this study, nanostructured Al5083-based nanocomposites with different percentages of SiC nanoparticles (SiCnp) were synthesized using mechanical milling route, and their...
