Dry ball milling and wet ball milling for fabricating copperyttria ...
Yttriareinforced copper matrix composites were prepared by dry ball milling (DBM) and wet ball milling (WBM), respectively, followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS). It is to determine which milling process is better for fabricating CuY2O3 composites. It is found that CuY2O3 composites synthesized by DBM exhibit better densification, mechanical and electrical properties than those by WBM.
