[Komposit bermatriks aluminium dengan penguat partikel Al2O3 berukuran nano umum digunakan untuk aplikasi dengan performa yang tinggi karena aluminium memiliki sifat ringan dan Al2O3 memiliki performa yang baik pada suhu tinggi. Pada penelitian ini, penambahan Al2O3 dengan fraksi volum 0,2%, 0,5%, 0,7%, 1,0%, and 1,2% dilakukan untuk menentukan titik optimum dari kelima komposisi. Magnesium sebanyak 10 wt.% ditambahkan sebagai wetting agent. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kekuatan optimum dicapai dengan penambahan fraksi volum nano-Al2O3 sebanyak 0,2% dengan 200,84 MPa dan keuletan yang baik, didukung dengan rendahnya porositas, rendahnya aglomerasi, dan pembentukan dimple pada permukaan patah.

Aluminium Matrix Composites (AMCs) reinforced with nano-sized Al2O3 particles are widely used for high performance application because aluminium has light weight and alumina has good performance at high temperature. In this study, the percentage of nano-sized Al2O3 with volume fraction 0.2%, 0.5%, 0.7%, 1.0%, and 1.2% are performed to determine the optimum point of the fifth variation. Magnesium with 10 wt.% are added as a wetting agent. The result showed the optimum strength was reached by 0.2 %Vf nano-Al2O3 reinforced composite with 200.84 MPa and enough ductility, supported by evidence low porosity, low agglomeration, and dimples formation on SEM image.
