Characterization and Properties of Powder Metallurgy Alumina-Iron and Alumina-Copper Ceramic Composites

Ceramic metal composites are engineered materials that use metals as reinforcements to improve the mechanical properties such as flexural strength and fracture toughness of ceramics. The trend of mechanical properties does not increase or decrease proportionally to the volume of metal reinforcement...
