Abstract
The properties and microstructure of an Al/(Al2O3 + TiB2 + ZrB2) hybrid composite made by using hot pressing of aluminum combined with different amounts of TiB2, ZrB2, and Al2O3 powders are studied. The mechanical properties of the composites are investigated on the basis of microhardness and compression tests. The results show that the microstructure of the composites is uniform and the particles are well distributed in the matrix.
