It is well known that Cu-Al 2 O 3 nanocomposite materials have high potential for use in structural applications in which enhanced mechanical characteristics are required. Therefore, the present work is intended to produce nano-sized powder of Cu-Al 2 O 3 nanocomposites, with various alumina content

β¦ Synopsis
Nanosized a-Al 2 O 3 and CrN powders were mixed in calculated proportion and homogenized by ball milling. Cr 2 N reinforced Al 2 O 3 composites were prepared by hot pressing of nano CrN-Al 2 O 3 powders. Dense sintered bodies were obtained by hot pressing at 1400-1550 8C and 30 MPa for 60 min. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that the CrN converted to Cr 2 N during the sintering process. Microstructures of the composites were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). It was found that Cr 2 N particles were uniformly dispersed in the Al 2 O 3 matrix. The bending strength of the Al 2 O 3 -Cr 2 N composite with the addition of 12.97 vol% Cr 2 N hot pressed at 1400 8C reached 848 MPa, and the fracture toughness of samples was over 4 MPa m 1/2 .
