Production of Al nanocomposite reinforced by Fe–Al intermetallic, Al4C3 and nano-Al2O3 particles using wet milling in toluene

Evaluation of strengthening behavior of Al–AlN nanostructured composite by the use of modified Heckel model and response surface methodology

“…The advantages of AlN, over other reinforcements such as SiC [4][5][6], Al 2 O 3 [7][8][9][10][11][12], TiC [13], TiB 2 [14], and B 4 C [15], are not reacting with molten aluminum, excellent conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, high strength and, good oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures [2,16,3].…”

“…The influential factors on the compressibility behavior of materials have been extensively investigated including intrinsic characteristics of the material [26], deformability [27], morphology [11], inter-particle and particle/die wall friction [28], particle size and volume fraction of the reinforcements [11,29,30], and lubricating [31].…”

Sintering behaviour of NiAl–xTiC nanostructured composite powders (x = 0, 1, 3, 6 and 10 vf%) during hot pressing

“…42 Thus, the relative density trend can be realised according to Zener's theory by the pinning force of TiC nanopowder on NiAl grain growth. 6,43,44 However, the relative density of all samples is high (Fig.…”

Particle curvature effects on microstructural evolution during solid-state sintering: phenomenological insights from phase-field simulations

“…Solid-state sintering is a processing technique that involves densifying green powder compacts by employing temperature, pressure or combination thereof [1][2][3]. This technique is used for processing high-temperature alloys, ceramics, nanocomposites [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] and, even, ice compacts [4,20]. Therefore, due to the wide application of sintering, a mechanistic understanding of the processes involved is mandated, particularly from the perspective of theory and simulation that can take into account coupling of multiple competing mechanisms [1,21,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34].…”
