Like most carbide-based composites, the two main characteristics of alumina-tungsten carbide (Al 2 O 3 -WC) composites are high hardness and high wear resistance. These features confer the composites important engineering applications, in particular when they are used as cutting tools. The present r

✦ Synopsis
Cu Al 2 O 3 nanocomposite is successfully synthesized by reactive milling of CuO/Cu 2 O and Al. Wet milling in toluene transforms the combustion reaction to a progressive reaction. The extent of reduction reaction increases with increase in excess reductant (Al). The crystallite size of Cu obtained from reactive milling is much finer than that obtained from ball milling of Cu and Al 2 O 3 .
