The effect of different GNPs ratios on the microstructure, hardness and wear rate of alumina nanocomposites was examined. The results showed that the mechanical properties of Al 2 O 3 –GNPs nanocomposites gradually improved with GNP additions of 0.1 wt% to 0.6 wt%. © 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.EnglishAluminaAluminum oxideBall millingGrapheneMechanical propertiesNanocompositesSinteringWear of materialsAlumina NanoparticleGraphene nanoplateletsHigh frequency inductionInductionUltra-high frequencyUniaxial loadVacuum chambersWear propertiesSintered aluminaArticle10.1007/s10904-018-1040-3
