The aluminum powder was obtained by argon atomization under rapid solidification conditions. Composite materials were prepared from three different particle sizes, namely: < 50 μm, 50-100 μm and 100-200 μm. These powders were blended with 15 vol % of SiC particles < 5 μm in size by ball milling and then, hot extruded. The best properties of the resulting composites correspond to the material prepared from the smallest particle size. For this case, a clear improvement of the mechanical properties, except for ductility, is obtained. This is attributed to a more homogeneous distribution of the reinforcing SiC particles.}, number={Extra}, journal={Revista de Metalurgia}, author={Torralba, M. and Adeva, P. and Lieblich, M. and Ibáñez, J. and Caruana, G. and García-Escorial, A. and González-Doncel, G.}, year={1998}, month={May}, pages={371–375} }
