Alüminyum Matrisli Kompozitlerde Tungsten Karbür ve Grafen Takviyelerinin Mekanik Özelliklere Etkileri Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Teknolojinin hızla gelişmesi ile birlikte, imalat, havacılık ve otomotiv sektörlerinde yaygın olarak kullanılan standart malzemeler yerini yeni nesil yüksek mukavemete ve hafifliğe sahip malzemelere bırakmaktadır. Özellikle, Tungsten karbür (WC) ve Grafenin sahip olduğu yüksek termal ve elektriksel özellikler, yüksek elastisite modülü, yüksek mukavemet gibi üstün özellikleri sayesinde alüminyum matrisli kompozit malzeme üretiminde büyük etki ve avantajlara sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, WC ve Grafen takviyelerinin alüminyum matrisli kompozit malzemelerin mekanik özelliklerine etkisi ile ilgili çalışmalar incelenerek sunulmuştur. Alüminyum matrisli kompozitlerin mekanik özelliklerinin iyileştirilmesinde %20'ye kadar WC ve %0.7'ye kadar grafen katkısının etkili olduğu raporlanmıştır. Grafen ilavesinin %0.5’ten fazla arttırılması topaklanmalara, WC ilavesinin %30’dan fazla arttırılması ise gözenekliğin artmasına ve mekanik özelliklerin azalmasına neden olmaktadır.
