Abstract:
The Al
2O
3/Ni-Co composites with different additives were fabricated by pulse current electrodeposition, the microstructures of Al
2O
3/Ni-Co composites were studied by TEM and EDS. The effects of additives on the smoothness, microhardness, plasticity at room temperature and at high temperature were compared. SEM was employed to examine the microstructures of the deformed samples. The hardness, fracture strength, elongation at room temperature and at superplastic temperature of the Al
2O
3/Ni-Co composite reach HV469, 1150 MPa, 7% and 417% respectively, when the saccharin was used as additive.
