Rapid Consolidation of Nanocrystalline Al2O3 Reinforced Cr Composite from Mechanically Alloyed Powders by Pulsed Current Activated Sintering

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nanopowders of Cr and Al2O3 was fabricated from CrO3 and 2Al by high energy ball milling. Dense nanocrystalline Cr-Al2O3 composite was consolidated by pulsed current activated sintering (PCAS) method within 1 min from mechanically alloyed powders. Highly dense Cr-Al2O3 with relative density of up to 99% was produced under simultaneous application of a 80 MPa pressure and the pulsed current. The average grain size and mechanical properties of the composite were investigated.
