Comparison of Two Powder Processing Techniques on the Properties of Cu-NbC Composites

Figure 4

Density of different composites and alloys fabricated by different techniques and consolidation methods. HPT: high pressure torsion, BM+SPS: ball milling followed by spark plasma sintering, BM+CP+S: ball milling followed by cold compaction and sintering, HP: hot pressing, TE: torsion extrusion, BM+ExC: ball milling followed by explosive consolidation, BM+HHP: ball milling followed by high pressure hot pressing, and BM+HExt: ball milling followed by hot extrusion.
