attention for scientists and manufacturers. In this study, fullerene (C60)
nanoparticle reinforced aluminum matrix composite was fabricated via semi
powder metallurgy method. Development of mechanical performance of pure
aluminum was aimed using C60 nanoparticle. Microstructure analyzes were
completed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
Hardness, compression and tensile properties of unreinforced aluminum and C60
reinforced composite were evaluated. Results show that nanoparticle was
homogenously distributed in matrix and there were no cracks or macro defects.
Hardness was significantly improved with the addition of fullerene and
extrusion process. Al-C60 composite exhibited better compression and tensile
performance than pure aluminum. </span> <br /> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Nigde Omer Halisdemir University}
