Sintering Of Cu–Al2o3 Nano-Composite Powders Produced By A Thermochemical Route, Zeljko J. Kamberovic Jan 2007

Sintering Of Cu–Al2o3 Nano-Composite Powders Produced By A Thermochemical Route, Zeljko J. Kamberovic

Zeljko J Kamberovic

This paper presents the synthesis of nano-composite Cu–Al2O3 powder by a thermochemical method and sintering, with a comparative analysis of the mechanical and electrical properties of the obtained solid samples. Nano-crystalline Cu–Al2O3 powders were produced by a thermochemical method through the following stages: spray-drying, oxidation of the precursor powder, reduction by hydrogen and homogenization. Characterization of powders included analytical electron microscopy (AEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), differenttial thermal and thermogravimetric (DTA–TGA) analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The size of the produced powders was 20–50 nm, with a noticeable presence of agglomerates. The composite powders were characterized by …

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 …
