Microstructure and Properties of Nanocomposites with Graphene-Reinforced Aluminum Matrix

  • ADDITIVE TECHNOLOGIES, POWDER AND COMPOSITE MATERIALS
  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

The methods of electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction are used to study the microstructure and the phase composition of powder metallurgy nanocomposites with an aluminum matrix reinforced with 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 wt.% nanostructured graphene. The mechanical properties under static compression, the hardness, and the wear resistance of the nanocomposites with different contents of the hardening phase are determined.
