On the Electrical and Thermal Conductivities of Cast A356/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Metal Matrix Nanocomposites

Abstract: To assess the effect of the dispersion of Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles into A356 Al alloy on both the electrical and thermal conductivities, A356/Al 2 O 3 metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) were fabricated using a combination of rheocasting and squeeze casting techniques. Two different sizes of Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles were dispersed into the A356 Al alloy, typically, 60 and 200 nm with volume fractions up to 5 vol%. The effect of the nanoparticles size and volume fraction on the electrical and thermal conductivities… Show more

“…A356/Al 2 O 3 MMnCs were produced by using a combination of rheocasting and squeeze casting techniques [68]. Rheocasting is a semi-solid phase process, which has several advantages: it is performed at lower temperatures than those conventionally employed in foundry practice, resulting in reduced thermochemical degradation of the reinforcement surface.…”

“…Hal ini terjadi karena bertambahnya diameter impeler pengaduk akan mengakibatkan pusaran menjadi lebih besar yang berpotensi menarik gas ke dalam lelehan serta mengakibatkan gas tersebut terjebak di dalam lelehan komposit. Gas yang terjebak ke dalam lelehan komposit akan menjadi porositas dalam komposit, yang mana porositas akan menurunkan nilai mekanis [15].…”
