The effect of milling time on aluminum-silicon carbide composite

Silicon carbide particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites have been developed over past few decades, owing to their excellent properties like light weight, wear resistance and high elastic modulus. Thus, the silicon carbide particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites are expected to have man...
