Microwave Sintering of Aluminum-ZrB2 Composite: Focusing on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties

Abstract Microwave assisted rapid sintering was carried out to fabricate aluminum-ZrB2 metal matrix composites containing 1 wt% cobalt and 10, 15 and 20 wt% ZrB2 as the reinforcements at temperatures of 600, 700 and 800°C. The results showed that the highest values of density and bending strength (9...
