The Effect of Pure Aluminum Weight Percent on Different Properties of a New Cermet Material Made of Al-Machinable Glass Ceramic

Abstract

In this research high pure aluminum metal with the following weight percent(1,2,3,4,5) has been added to machinable glass-ceramic, after the preparation of thesamples by pressing then firing the effect of this addition on the density, hardness,young modulus, and polishing and grinding time of the machinable glass-ceramichave been studied. It has been found that the increasing in aluminum percent lead toslightly increase in density while the hardness, young modulus, and polishing andgrinding time decreased.
