Mechanical Properties of Nanometal Matrix Composites Produced by Duralcan Process

The Duralcan process was used to create aluminium metal matrix nanocomposites with aluminium nanoparticles. It is a type of stir casting process in which metal and ceramics were placed layer by layer and composites were prepared through a heating and stirring process. The composite was made with nano-Al2O3 in weight percentages of 1, 1.5 and 2.5. The hardness composite properties were tested with and without heat treatment and the tensile strength was also discovered.
