Abstract
The purpose of these researches was to determine the effect of silicon carbide particles (SiCp) proportion and the effect of some process parameters (temperatures and times of aging) on characteristics of Al-Cu/SiCp composites obtained by P/M route. The age-hardened composites and un-reinforced alloys solution treated at 515 ± 5°C, maintaining time 360 minutes, quenched in water and artificial aging at 150-190o C during respectively 240-720 minutes/ furnace cooled, were tested from hardness and microstructural point of view. The effect of SiCp proportion in matrix during cold compaction was observed on densification curves of all experimental powders mixtures Al-4Cu/ (5, 10, 15 and 20) wt.%SiC. The composites were analyzed using optical and electron microscopy (including ESEM-Enviromental Scanning Electron Microscopy), in terms of shape and size of grains, pores, ceramic particles, second phases and precipitates.
