Influence of Ball Milling Process on the Pinned Effect of Al2O3/Al Cermet Composite Powder

The Al2O3/Al cermet composite powders were prepared via the ball milling method,which provide raw materials for preparing high performance cermet materials. The results show that the number of Al2O3 particles on the surface of Al particles increases first and then decreases with increasing the ball milling time and milling rotating speed. The number of Al2O3 particles on the surface of Al particles increases with increasing ball to powder mass ratio. The analysis of the ratio of performance to price shows that the better parameters for preparing the pinned Al2O3/Al cermet composite powders are as follows, the ball milling time 24h,the ball milling rotating speed 100 r/min and the ratio of ball to powder 1:2.
