Microstructural changes in a mechanically alloyed Al-6.2Zn-2.5Mg-1.7Cu alloy (7010) with and without particulate SiC reinforcement

Microstructural and morphological evaluation of MCrAlY/YSZ composite produced by mechanical alloying method

“…Generally, ceramic particles have two effects on milling process. Ceramic particles absorb a large portion of milling energy during their fragmentation instead of deformation of metal matrix [25][26][27]. On the other hand, the presence of ceramic particles in metal matrix enhances local deformation in the vicinity of the hard particles [28][29][30].…”

Production of Al–20 wt.% Al2O3 composite powder using high energy milling

“…A survey of the previous studies indicates that a homogenous dispersion of fine particles in a fine grained matrix is beneficial to the mechanical properties of MMCs [2][3][4][5][6].…”

The effect of heat treatment and thermal spray processes on the grain growth of nanostructured composite CoNiCrAlY/YSZ powders

“…This phenomenon could be clearly observed in the 12 hr milled samples. Large particles of ceramic in mechanical milling possesses absorbed a large portion of milling energy [33][34][35]. Therefore, with increasing the YSZ content, energy required to fragment YSZ particles was increased.…”
