Abstract

Journal of Composite Materials, Ahead of Print.
This study explores the effects of varying graphite (Gr) content on the microstructure, hardness, and tribological properties of aluminium–tungsten carbide (Al- 0.1 vol.% WC) nanocomposites containing 1 to 4 vol.% Gr. The findings revealed that adding up ...
