| 20090193935 | Method for Manufacturing High Strength Ultra-Fine/Nano-Structured Al/Aln or Al Alloy/Aln Composite Materials - The present invention relates to the a method for manufacturing high strength ultra-fine/nano-structured aluminum/aluminum nitride or aluminum alloy/aluminum nitride composites using mechanical milling or mechanical alloying process which is conducted in the nitride-forming atmosphere such as nitrogen gas (N), ammonia gas (NH) or mixed gas including both gases, subsequent heat treatment process, and hot consolidation process. Also, high strength ultra-fine/nano-structured Al/ALN or Al alloy/ALN composite materials fabricated by the method of present invention have superior mechanical strength and heat resistance to those fabricated by conventional powder metallurgy process or liquid processes. | 08-06-2009 |
