“…This corresponds to an improvement by factor of 1.87 compared to the unmilled Al. A similar increase by factor of two in the hardness values was also observed for 5 and 10 vol% SiC using the planetary mill, as reported by Kamrani et al [16] and Kollo et al [19]. The hardness does not appear to be different between the results from PEO technique and that of the other destructive methods.…”

“…High-energy ball milling technique [10][11][12] has been found to be one of the most popular ways to achieve a homogeneous dispersion of nanoparticles. However, this method also hardens the matrix, which leads to significant reduction in the ductility for the obtained composite.…”
“…Unit operations mostly used in production of nanotechnology-based products include milling, mixing and reaction. For example, gold nanoparticle is commonly synthesized in mixing-reaction system Zhao et al 2013), FePt nanoparticles were produced by high-energy ball milling (Velasco et al 2012) and nanosilicon carbide-reinforced aluminum was produced by high-energy milling (Kollo et al 2011). In industrial manufacturing, it is basically impractical to get a product from raw materials by just carrying out a single unit process.…”

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.
