Current work, aims at preparation and characterization of Al-Al3Ti in-situ metal matrix composites with varying percentage of in-situ Al3Ti (3 and 5%) reinforcement. The composites were prepared by the salt route involving reaction of commercial purity aluminum (99.7%) and potassium titanium flourate halide (K2TiF6) salt at a reaction temperature of 800°C and with 60min. holding time. The prepared composites were subjected to microstructural studies using Scanning Electron Microscope. Further, the work aims at evaluating mechanical properties of the prepared composites as per ASTM standards. Microstructural characterization using SEM revealed blocky morphology of Al3Ti intermetallics with fairly homogeneous distribution. Insitu Al-Al3Ti composites have shown better mechanical properties when compared to the unreinforced Al matrix.

Aa1100 Aluminum Alloy

Powder Metallurgy (PM) Techniques consists in a suitable technique to process composites materials. A specific PM technique of mechanical alloying developed to produce new materials in the solid state is a consolidated route to obtain aluminum alloys metal matrix composites. Aluminum alloys metal matrix composites allies the good properties of aluminum and its alloys but with poor mechanical properties and the reinforcement of ceramics phases which add better mechanical properties to these alloys. The research of this materials processing by PM techniques presented new materials with improved properties. In this work an AA1100 aluminum alloy was reinforced by particulate silicon carbide and alumina types of ceramic phases. The powders were mixed and then processed by mechanical alloying in a SPEX vibratory type mill. Then the powders obtained were compacted and vacuum sintered. The sintered composites were characterized by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) plus Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and Vickers hardness (HV) tests to evaluate the mechanical behavior.

Weight Percentage

A hybrid Al7075 metal matrix composites have been fabricated through liquid metallurgy route (Stir Casting method) using Al2O3 and B4C as reinforcement materials. The effect of weight percentage of reinforcement materials on mechanical properties of the composites have been studied by varying the weight percentage of Al2O3 as 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15% while keeping constant weight percentage of B4C (3%). The as-cast microstructure, tensile strength, micro and macro hardness of the fabricated hybrid composites have been studied. The mechanical properties of the prepared composites were increased with increasing the weight percentage of the reinforcement in the composite. The maximum tensile strength, micro-hardness and macro-hardness of 309 MPa, 140 VHN, and 112 BHN, respectively, were obtained for a hybrid Al7075 matrix composite containing 15% Al2O3 and 3% B4C.
