Study of Thermomechanical Properties of an Al-Zn-Based Composite Reinforced with Dodecaboride Particles

The effect of the addition of AlB12 particles to gravity cast Al-Zn alloys was studied and related to the composite deformation at high temperature. The characterization techniques of choice were thermomechanical analysis (TMA), Brinell hardness (HB), and optical microscopy. After homogenization tre...
