Abstract

In this study, firstly, a composite material aluminum based and containing 10 % Al₂O₃ by weight is produced by powder metallurgy method. In the production of composite samples being 10 mm in diameter and 15 mm in length, first Al and Al₂O₃ powders were mixed for 2 hours in a high – energy  attritor and then pressed in a unidirectional axial die  at 800  MPa pressure. The pressed samples were sintered in a tubular furnace in a protective argon gas ambiance at 650°C for 2 hours. As for the second stage, the composite samples have been welded by diffusion welding to an Al block material in 99.5% purity and in the same dimensions at 5 MPa – constant load at different temperatures and durations by diffusion welding. The strength values of welded samples were determined by making shear tests from the welding zones versus composite material.
