Different Al-SiC metal matrix composites (MMCs) with a different matrix, reinforcement sizes, and volume fractions were fabricated using ball milling (BM) and powder metallurgy (PM) techniques. Al and Al-SiC composites with different volume fractions were milled for 120 h. Then, the Al and Al-SiC composites were pressed under 125 MPa and finally sintered at 450 °C. Moreover, microsize and combination between micro and nano sizes Al-SiC samples were prepared by the same way. The effect of the Al matrix, SiC reinforcement sizes and the SiC volume fraction on the microstructure evolution, physical and mechanical properties of the produced composites was investigated. The BM and powder metallurgy techniques followed by sintering produce fully dense Al-SiC composite samples with different matrix and reinforcement sizes. The SiC particle size was observed to have a higher effect on the thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, and microhardness of the produced composites than that of the SiC volume fraction. The decreasing of the Al and SiC particle sizes and increasing of the SiC volume fraction deteriorate the physical properties. On the other hand, the microhardness was enhanced with the decreasing of the Al, SiC particle sizes and the increasing of the SiC volume fraction.

Copper-plated TiB2-Cu-graphite composite, Cf-TiB2-Cu-graphite composite and Cf-copper-plated TiB2-Cu-graphite composite with the same TiB2 content were prepared by the powder metallurgy method. Physical and mechanical properties of these composites were tested. The dry friction tests of the composites under sliding velocity of 10m/s and load of 4.9N were conducted for 36h. The results show that the properties of the Cf-copper-plated TiB2-Cu-graphite composite such as electric conductivity, hardness, bending strength and wear resistance are increased remarkably than those of either Cf-TiB2-Cu-graphite or copper-plated TiB2-Cu-graphite composites.

The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the microstructural and mechanical properties of Al /nano MgO composite prepared via powder metallurgy method. Pure atomized aluminum powder with an average particle size of 1μm and MgO particulate with an average particle size between 60 to 80 nm were used. Composites containing 1.5, 2.5 and 5 percent of volume fraction of MgO were prepared by powder metallurgy method. The specimens were pressed by Cold Isostatic Press machine (CIP), subsequently were sintered at 575, 600 and 625°C. After sintering and preparing the samples, mechanical properties were measured. The results of microstructure, compression and hardness tests indicated that addition of MgO particulates to aluminum matrix composites improves the mechanical properties.

In this study, ZA27-Al2O3-Gr hybrid nanocomposite materials (HNMs) were prepared by powder metallurgy method including mechanical-milling and hot-pressing (HP). The physical and mechanical properties of ZA27-Al2O3-Gr HNMs have been investigated with the primary objective of understanding the influence of the alumina (Al2O3) nanoparticle (n-Al2O3) reinforcement. The density, hardness and tensile strength tests of HNMs carried out to determine the physical and mechanical properties of ZA27-Al2O3-Gr HNMs. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is used for the microstructural evolution of the HNMs. As a result of microstructure examination results, n-Al2O3 were observed around grain boundary while the graphite (Gr) nanoparticles (n-Gr) were dispersed homogeneous throughout ZA27 matrix. Relative density values decreased with the increase of nanoparticle reinforcement ratio from 1%vol to 4%vol., while an increase in porosity values was detected for HNMs. Moreover, the results showed that the addition of n-Al2O3 significantly improved the mechanical properties of the HNMs. Additionally, the HNMs reinforced with 4%vol. n-Al2O3 and 1%vol. n-Gr exhibited the highest tensile strength of about 158 MPa and hardness of 160 HB in comparison with the other HNMs reinforced with different content of n-Al2O3.

Magnesium nanocomposites with 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 volume percentages of MgO were synthesized using the powder metallurgy technique. The nanocomposite billets obtained were subsequently hot extruded at a temperature of 350 °C with an extrusion ratio of 20.25:1. The extruded nanocomposites were characterized for their microstructural, physical and mechanical properties. The microstructures of the nanocomposites showed individual particles of MgO uniformly distributed in the magnesium matrix. The thermomechanical analysis results revealed that a more thermally stable magnesium nanocomposite could be obtained with a threshold amount of MgO. The tensile properties results indicated that the yield strength peaks at 0.3 vol.% of reinforcement incorporated, with an improvement of approximately 17%. An attempt is made to correlate the volume fraction of the MgO with the resultant physical and mechanical properties of the magnesium nanocomposites.
