Abstract :This research investigates the production of epoxy resin composites reinforced by the synthesized heavy tungsten alloys (W-7Zn-3Co-Y2O3). Y2O3 is used for dispersion of the compound during the ball milling process. Laminating resin component A and hardened component B were used to produce polymer epoxy matrix. The tungsten heavy alloys reinforced epoxy composites were examined in terms of Vickers hardness, density measurement and microstructural characterization . The results indicate that the 16 hour-milled reinforced epoxy composites have the highest hardness value.
Keywords : Tungsten alloys, mechanical alloying, and polymer epoxy composites
