Abstract

Journal of Composite Materials, Ahead of Print.
In this study, nano-hybrid composite materials were produced via powder metallurgy (PM) by adding TiB2and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) to Al6061 alloy, known for its high ductility, corrosion resistance, and weldability. Sub-150 µm Al6061 powder was ...
