Aluminum oxide (Al2O3), Ceramics,, Wear and TribologyAbstract
Aluminium oxide ceramics have a good thermal conductivity, high strength and stiffness, low coefficient of expansion, these major properties made them adopt in the critical structural designs of aerospace and in advanced machinery. Ceramics is having wide applications in all the structural designs and developments, because of its properties like higher density, hardness, resistance to corrosion and it can stand with very high temperatures. Ceramics is mainly used as reinforcement with aluminium oxide in order to enhance its stiffness and strength. The particles of ceramics can easily combine with aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and it gives an identical property throughout the composite material.
