Effect of Sintering Temperature on the Properties of Aluminium-Aluminium Oxide Composite Materials

In this study, aluminium-aluminium oxide (Al-Al2O3) metal matrix composites of different weight percentage reinforcements of aluminium oxide were processed at different sintering temperatures. In order to prepare these composite specimens, conventional powder metallurgy (PM) method was used. Three t...
