Strengthening Mechanisms of 15 vol.% Al Springer
The Al matrix nanocomposite containing 15 vol.% Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles was fabricated via high energy ball milling followed by vacuum hot pressing. Firstly, the raw powder mixes were ball milled in a high energy planetary ball mill with WC grinding media for 20 h in Ar atmosphere at rotation speed of 240 r/min.
