Abstract

In this study, aluminum composite samples containing 0-20%
waste glass powders were produced.
Mixtures containing different amounts of glass powder reinforcement were shaped
by uniaxial hydraulic pressing after subjected to high-speed ball milling. The
sintering process was carried out in the microwave oven. Controllable suitable
sintering temperatures were achieved by successfully modifying a domestic
microwave oven. The sintering processes were
performed at 550^oC for 18 minutes. During the phase and microstructure analysis of composite samples,
undesirable interface reaction products were not encountered. After
sintering, the amount of porosity in samples with glass powder decreased
compared to the samples in the green
state (from 13% to 8.5% for 20% CT), indicating the relative success of the
sintering process. When the mechanical behaviors of the samples under
compression loading were examined, it was determine that the compressive
strength values of the samples increased from 67 to 234 MPa, as fraction of the
glass particles were increased. In addition, the microhardness value of pure
aluminum (53 Hv) was increased to 77 Hv with 20% glass particle addition.

Cam Partikül Takviyeli Alüminyum Matrisli Kompozitlerin Mikrodalga Sinterleme Yöntemi ile Üretimi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, %0-20 atık
cam tozları içeren aluminyum kompozit numuneler üretilmiştir. Farklı oranlarda
cam tozu takviyesi içeren karışımlar yüksek devirli bilyeli öğütme işlemine
maruz bırakıldıktan sonra tek eksenli hidrolik presleme ile
şekillendirilmiştir. Sinterleme işlemleri mikrodalga fırında gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Tekrar edilebilir uygun sinterleme sıcaklıkları ev tipi bir mikrodalga fırın
başarılı bir şekilde modifiye edilerek elde edilmiştir. Sinterleme işlemleri
550^oC’de 18 dk süre ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kompozit numunelerin
faz içerik ve mikroyapıları incelemelerinde istenmeyen arayüzey reaksiyon
ürünlerine rastlanılmamıştır. Sinterlenme sonrasında cam tozu katkılı
numunelerdeki porozite miktarının ham durumdaki numunelere kıyasla azalması
(%20 CT için %13’ten %8,5’e kadar), sinterleme işleminin göreceli başarısını
göstermiştir. Numunelerin basma yüklemesi altındaki davranışları ve sertlik
ölçümleri sonucunda, cam tozu takviye oranı arttıkça hem sertlik hem de basma
dayanımı değerleri artış sergilemiştir.
