Production of aluminum based sic reinforced composites with casting method

Aluminum SiC composite production by casting method is made to improve the mechanical properties of aluminum. This composite is produced by methods such as powder metallurgy. This is an appropriate approach considering traditional methods. In this thesis, the production method has been changed for the production of series and economic by approach of industrial production. SiC is one of the hardest materials produced under industrial conditions. This hardness happen provides the covalent bond formed between silicon and carbide. Material is nearly hardness of diamond which used as an abrasive in the industry(machining tools and sanding elements). SiC has high corrosion resistance with high corrosion resistance and low specific density. It is also one of the outstanding non-oxide ceramics used in bearings and sliding bearings. The high strength of aluminum compared to its weight has made it an engineering material used in many fields in the industry. It can be shaped easily with aluminum as well as machining and other methods; Construction has become one of the indispensable materials used in aviation, automotive and packaging sectors. 24% of the use of aluminum belongs to the production of vehicles. Despite all these advantages of aluminum, other metal materials used in the same sectors, considering the wear resistance and corrosion resistance is low. This disadvantage of aluminum is one of the biggest problems of this thesis. It is aimed to increase wear resistance and other mechanical properties with a composite which will be produced with very hard material support such as aluminum, SiC which is one of the indispensable engineering materials. This composite to be created will increase utilization under conditions where a lightweight and durable material such as aluminum will be subject to wear, and will continuously offer new opportunities for the aerospace and automotive industry to reduce CO₂ emissions and transportation costs.
