The effect of pure aluminum weight percent on different properties of a new cermet material made of al-machinable glass ceramic

Abstract EN

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 the samples by pressing then firing the effect of this addition on the density, hardness, young modulus, and polishing and grinding time of the machinable glass-ceramic have been studied.

It has been found that the increasing in aluminum percent lead to slightly increase in density while the hardness, young modulus, and polishing and grinding time decreased.
