Abstract
The paper reviews the developments to date of novel ultrafine-grained (UFG) Al metal matrix composites (MMCs) reinforced and stabilized with nanometric Al2O3 phase produced in situ by compaction of fine gas-atomized Al powders. This is followed by a discussion of the recent developments of the novel UFG Al-AlN MMCs produced by partial nitridation of fine gasatomised Al powders. The paper summarizes previously published data with an addition of the new unpublished results.
