Determination Of Al2o3 Particle Size In Cu-Al2o3 Nanocomposite Materials Using Uv Spectrophotometry, Zeljko J. Kamberovic Jan 2008

Determination Of Al2o3 Particle Size In Cu-Al2o3 Nanocomposite Materials Using Uv Spectrophotometry, Zeljko J. Kamberovic

In order to achieve improved mechanical properties of dispersion strengthened nanocomposite, without influencing electrical and thermal conductivity it is necessary for dispersoide to be nano sized and uniformly distributed in base metal matrix. In this paper are presented the results concerning possibility of using UV spectrophotometry for determination of alumina particle size in Cu-Al2O3 system. Presented results show that this method is unefficient as method for determination of dispersoide particle size, due to the coalescence of particles false results are obtained, i.e. particle size significantly higher then one determined by image analysis.


Synthesis And Sintering Of Cu-Al2o3 Nanocomposite Powders Produced By A Thermochemical Route, Zeljko J. Kamberovic Jan 2007

By hydrometallurgy and powder metallurgy along with prognosis of physical- chemical properties, a synthesis of new improved materials can be successfully performed with in advance pre-set properties which is conditioned by a quality of starting powders i.e. by improving their structure. In accordance with that, this paper presents synthesis of the nanocomposite Cu-Al2O3 powder by thermochemical method and sintering with a comparative analysis of the mechanical and electrical properties of obtained solid samples. Nanocrystaline Cu-Al2O3 powders were produced by thermochemical method through following stages: spray-drying, oxidation of precursor powder, reduction by hydrogen and homogenisation. Characterization of powders included differential-thermal and …
