Evaluating the influence of milling time,and sintering temperature and time on the microstructural changes and mechanical properties of Al-Y2W3O12-AlN hybrid composites

The present investigation evaluates the effect of milling time, sintering time (t) and temperature (T), and amount of reinforcement (R) on the relative density (RD), hardness (H) and compressive strength (CS) of aluminium matrix hybrid composites both experimentally as well as statistically using response surface methodology (RSM). The powders were milled for various times, i.e., 0.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 &14 h and 10 h milled powder exhibited the...
