Abstract

In this study, Al based composites reinforced with SiCp were produced by the P/M method. In manufactured composites proportions of reinforced SiCp were chosen to be 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by weight. Experimental sample of Al/SiCp composites which are 35mm in diameter and 10mm in lenght were pressed at pressures of 500MPa and 350MPa and the composites were sintered an argon gas environment at 600°Cfor period of 30 min. Density and hardness test of produced composites were performed their wesr behaviours were investigated. Wear test were carried out using a pin-on disc type tribometer with rubbing against 600 grit SiC abrasive paper. It was observed that the increase of compression pressure and reinforing fraction improved wear resistance of the composites.
