The effect of milling time on aluminum-silicon carbide composite

Silicon carbide particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites have been developed over past few decades, owing to their excellent properties like light weight, wear resistance and high elastic modulus. Thus, the silicon carbide particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites are expected to have man...

The main steps in mechanical alloying are milling, compacting and sintering. The experiments were performed on two composition of silicon carbide powder in the composite. The study presents the results of the influence of milling time on aluminum- silicon carbide composite and the effect of different weight percentage of silicon carbide in composite on hardness and microstructure of the composite.
