Effects of Red Mud Particles and Oxides on the Microstructure and High-Temperature Tensile Properties of ZL109 Aluminum Alloy
Nickel coatings were deposited onto the surfaces of red mud, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 particles via an electroless plating technique. The nickel-coated particles (1.5 wt.%) were subsequently incorporated into a ZL109 aluminum alloy matrix to fabricate three types of composites using a stir-casting process, followed by a T6 hea...
