The crystallinity and hardness properties of Al-Cu/SiCp new composite materials

The main aim of this paper is to investigate the crystallinity and hardness properties of Al-Cu/SiCp matrix composite (AMC) materials. The materials were prepared using a noble stir casting technique by varying the percentage of Cu in the Al-Cu matrix. Qualitative X-ray analysis has been carried...
