Journal Article
Aghajani, S., Pouyafar, V., Meshkabadi, R., Volinsky, A. A., & Bolouri, A. (2023). Mechanical characterization of high volume fraction Al7075-Al2O3 composite fabricated by semisolid powder processing. International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 125, 2569–2580. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00170-023-10881-9

The mechanical properties and physical characteristics of aluminum alloy composites can be significantly improved by adding reinforcing phases. However, the high loading of the reinforcement phase in Al7075-Al2O3 composites has not been thoroughly st...
