      Aluminum
composites were produced by reinforcing an AA5754 aluminum alloy with B4C
particles. The semi-solid stirring and low-pressure solidification methods were
used to produce AA5754/B4C composites, and the mechanical characteristics of
the samples that were obtained were determined by three-point bending and
compression tests. Additionally, microstructure examinations were made by SEM,
EDS and XRD, and the sucsesfull producibility of the B4C reinforced aluminium
composites with the method that was used was seen.
