Fabrication and Mechanical Properties of Aluminium-Aluminium Oxide Metal Matrix Composites

In this research study, aluminium-aluminium oxide (Al-Al2O3) metal matrix composites (MMCs) of different percentage reinforcements of aluminium oxide were prepared. Three different types Al-Al2O3 composite specimens having 10%, 20% and 30% volume fractions of aluminium oxide were fabricated using co...
