Influence of Nano-Hybrid Reinforcements on the Improvement Strength, Thermal Expansion and Wear Properties of Cu–SiC–Fly Ash Nanocomposites Prepared by Powder Metallurgy
Abstract:In this study, Cu-matrix hybrid nanocomposites with varying amounts of silicon carbide (SiC) and fly ash nano particles were created using the powder metallurgy process. To describe the microstructure of produced powders, X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used. The powders were compressed and fired for one hour in inert gas at three different temperatures up to 850 °C. Moreover, the sintered samples’ microstructure, mechanical, wear, thermal, and electrical chara… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
