The microstructure and electrical properties of ZnO-Bi2O3-based varistor ceramics prepared by the high-energy ball milling were studied. The varistor ceramics samples were characterized by XRD and SEM analysis, as well as by dc electrical measurements, such as the nonlinearity coefficients, leakage current and threshold voltage. The best electrical characteristics were found in sample by the high-energy ball milling 1 h and sintered at 1000 °C for 2 h, which exhibited the threshold voltage was 457 V/mm, the nonlinear coefficient was 59.3 and the leakage current was 1.18 μA.

Metal matrix nanocomposites have been produced by powder metallurgy route. Al and nanoAl2O3powders were grinded through high energy ball milling. Then, the composite powders were sintered by Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP). 12 ECAP passes were carried out in order to improve the dispersion of the hard particles. SEM analysis was performed to investigate the distribution of the ceramic nanoparticles within the matrix. Hardness tests were executed to evaluate the mechanical behavior of the nanocomposites. Finally, mechanical strength values obtained by numerical models were compared with those estimated from hardness measurements. High energy ball milling followed by ECAP process revealed to be a suitable route for the production of metal matrix composites reinforced with well dispersed nanoparticles.
