Characterization and properties of aluminum composite materials prepared by powder metallurgy techniques using ceramic solid wastes Article uri icon

abstract

  • This work provides preliminary results of aluminum metal matrix composites (MMCs) reinforced with granulated slag (GS) and electric arc furnace dust (EAFD). The present work concerns the synthesis and properties of Al/GS and Al/EAFD composites based on powder metallurgy techniques. The hardness and compressive strength of the sintering compacts were determined to compare the mechanical properties of the composite material as a function of the GS and EAFD content. The best results were obtained with the Al/GS composites, which reached compressive strengths up to 372 MPa.
