Synthesis of Nanocrystalline Alumina–Metal Composites by ...
The synthesis is performed by solid‐state reduction reaction which occurs during room‐temperature ball‐milling of mixtures of a metal oxide (M x O y) and aluminum (Al 2y/3). A complete reduction is reached for milling times of ≅ h in a planetary mill. The crystallite sizes of alumina and metal obatined, for powders processed in a ...
