Notes:
Processing effects of wet ball-milling on the microstructure and fracture strength of Al2O3/5 vol% SiC nanocomposites were investigated. Homogeneous microstructure and a high fracture strength of 1200 MPa could be achieved under the milling condition of relatively low wear contents of Al2O3 grinding media, maintaining the homogeneity of the ball-milled powders. The fracture strength decreased with increasing wear content. Degradation of fracture strength was caused by abnormal grain growth related to wear particles from the Al2O3 balls.
