Abstract
In this study aluminum (Al-6070)/alumina (Al2O3), and Al-6070/ graphite (Gr) reinforced particles metal-matrix composites (MMCs) are fabricated by melt-stirring technique. The MMCs bars and plates are prepared with varying the reinforced particles volume fraction ranging from 5% to 15%. The average reinforced particles size of alumina (Al2O 3) and graphite (Grp) are 23 μm and 53 μm, respectively. The stirring process was carried out at 200 rev/min rotating speed by graphite impeller for 15 min. The microstructure and mechanical properties are investigated on prepared MMCs. It was observed that the hardness of the composite is increased with increasing of reinforced particle volume fraction. The tensile strength and impact strength both are decreased with rising of reinforced volume fraction. The prepared composite plates are welded by gas welding with Al-Si-base filler metal. Rockwell hardness test was conducted and presented the test result for un-welded and welded zone.
