Heat Treatment and Characterization
of Aluminum Matrix Composites |
Supervisor: Dr. Bilgehan ÖGEL |
|
Aluminum
matrix composites with different volume fractions of reinforcement
can be produced in the Powder Metallurgy Laboratory. The effect of
volume fraction and heat treatment on mechanical properties can be
investigated using various facilities in our department. The Powder
Metallurgy Research Group is also involved in the field of metal
foam production and metal forming processes. |

Microstructure of Al-B4C composite
produced by hot pressing. Densification in this
composite has been achieved by liquid phase sintering. |

The effect of aging at 175ºC on
composites containing 0-40 vol.% B4C. Higher hardness
values are obtained with the addition of B4C.
Accelerated ageing can be observed in the composites
containing higher volume fractions of reinforcement. |
