The effect of sic addition on AlNi compact mechanical properties produced via powder metallurgy

الملخص EN

This research directed to produce al-Ni alloys by powder metallurgy technique since of its marketable and industrial significant.

nickel and aluminum powders were determined their particle size then the powders mixed and blended with percent (Al - 20% Ni).

silicon carbide particles (SiC) powder supplemented to master alloy powder by percent (4-6- and 8 wt.

%) separately then these powders mixed to obtain homogeneous distribution, then the powders compacted in cold pressure at 700 MPa.

the sintering procedure was performed at (530°C) for 8 hrs.

At vacuum atmosphere (10-4 torr).

After cooling these samples grinded and polished to estimate microstructure, density, porosity, LOM, SEM, EDS, X-ray diffraction ,hardness and wear testsat dissimilar circumstances.

results showed that the hardness increased by (52%) and wear rate decreased by (55%) at 8 wt % silicon carbide addition, and it was the best results.
