Fabrication of Copper-Titanium carbide/Alumina Nanocomposite by high energy ball milling

In this study, Cu.Al2O3.TiC was produced the mechanochemical method and milling. For this purpose; pure powders of CuO, Al, TiO2 and C was placed in the vial and milling process was carried out with milling speed of 350 rpm, 20:1 ball to powder ratio; for 20, 60, 100 and 140 hours at argon atmosphere. Milled powders with pure Cu powder milled for 10 hours prepared powder. Result of process was studied by SEM and XRD. The results indicate that two reinforcement (TiC and Al2O3) particles were uniform distributary in Cu matrix.
