Study of Mechanical Properties of Aluminum Nanocomposites using Auto Ignition Technique
Abstract: Al2O3 - high ZrO2 nanocomposite was synthesized by auto-ignition technique using metal nitrate and citric acid with a ratio of citrate: nitrate equal to 1:1.5. The precursor zirconium oxynitrite was derived from precipitation of zirconium oxycloride followed by dissolution of gel in nitric acid. The thermal decomposition behaviour of the gel was studied in order to study the decomposition behaviour and to determine the crystallization temperature. The effect of calcination …
