Role of mechanical alloying parameters on powder distribution of Al/Cu alloy and Al/Cu composite
The aim of the current study is to investigate the effect of milling time and speed on mixing properties of aluminium (Al)/copper (Cu) alloy and Al/Cu composite. Ethanol and argon gas were employed as process control agent and milling atmosphere. Mechanical alloying process by means of high-energy b...
