Abstract

Al-xTiC (x=5, 10, 15 and 20 wt.%) composites were fabricated using powder metallurgy (P/M) technique from Al and TiC powders. The mixture of Al and TiC powders were homogeneously mixed for 4 hours before compacting using hydraulic pressing. The effects of compacted pressure and sintering temperature on the mechanical properties of Al-5 wt.% TiC composite were investigated in the ranges of 100 to 500 MPa, and 450 to 600
