Abstract
The compaction process is an important step in the powder production of engineering components. The effect of the compaction load, compaction temperature and the mass percentages of both iro ( fe ) and sillicon carbide ( SIC ) reinforcements on the mechanical properties of the compacted aluminium products are investigated .five compaction loads of 200,300,400,500and 600KN. (98.4 ,149,197,247,296 MN/mm 2 )have been used with acompaction temperature ranges from 31c to 350 c and initial sample size of about 60 ( g ).In order to obtain the optimum reinforcement percentage with respect to the higher composite iron percentages and eight values of the silicon carbide mass contents have been mixed with the powder.In an attempt to obtian optimum AL/Fe composite iron percentages of 5, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20 and 25 mass% are mixed with aluminium.to obtain the optimum AL/SIC composite, SIC particulates of 1, 2, 2.1, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 mass % are mixed within the aluminium matrix. the optimum value of both the iron mass % and silicon carbide mass %are obtained to form the AL/Fe/SIC composite which contains the excellent physical and mechanical proberties over that of the AL/fe and AL/SIC composites individually.
