In-situ formation of Cu–Al2O3 nano-scale composites by chemical routes and studies on their microstructures

An investigation on morphology and structure of Cu-Cr-Al2O3 powders prepared by mechanical milling

“…Since Cu metal matrix materials are expected to have special physical and mechanical properties, studies on the synthesis and characterization of Cu metal matrix composites have attracted increasing interest. Al 2 O 3 [3][4][5][6] particles and Cr precipitates reinforced Cu have been investigated for their excellent properties.…”

Infiltrated Cu8Al–Ti alumina composites

“…Pure or alloyed copper has thus been combined with ceramics as diverse as TiB 2 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], Al 2 O 3 [1,[8][9][10][11], several forms of carbon [12][13][14][15][16] or various carbides [17][18][19][20][21]; Ref. [22] gives a review of their processing methods and mechanical properties.…”

Obtaining of nanostructured powders for production of new dispersion strengthened sintered material in the system Cu-Al2O3

“…Kao rešenje ovog problema predloženi su metode brzog očvršćavanja, mehaničkog legiranja [19] i u novije vreme termo-hemijska sinteza [20,21].…”

“…Prednost ove metode je u činjenici da su početni materijali za dobijanje prahova u tečnom stanju i da se tokom procesa i osnovni metal i disperzoid zajedno talože što omogućava proizvodnju veoma homogenih nano i ultrafinih čestica, što dalje doprinosi superiornim karakteristikama sinterovanih materijala u pogledu mehaničkih i električnih svojstava [20,21,23].…”

“…Jena sa saradnicima je u okviru rada [21,48] prikazao mogućnost proizvodnje Cu-Al 2 O 3 kompozita hemijskim putem sa homogenom raspodelom disperzoida kao altenativu procesa mehaničkog legiranja sa mnogo većom perspektivom za prozvodnju na industrijskom nivou.…”
