| Description | Journal: Iop Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering This investigation studies the effects of nickel (Ni) particles combined with silicon carbide (SiCp) particles on the microstructural and mechanical properties of aluminium(Al)-magnesium(Mg)-manganese(Mn) matrix alloys under different sintering temperatures. The $Al-Mg-Mn-SiC_{p}/Ni_{p}$ composite samples were produced via the powder metallurgy route. The sintering process was performed on a green compact of Al-Mg-Mn $matrix/SiC_{p}$/ or $Ni_{p}$ composites at 400 °C and 600 °C for 1.5 hours at a constant heating rate of 50 °C/min. The $Al-Mg-Mn-SiC_{p}/Ni_{p}$ samples were evaluated and characterised using a scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. Additionally, the $Al-Mg-Mn-SiC_{p}/Ni_{p}$ samples were measured for Vickers hardness and compressive strength. The outcomes show that $Al-Mg-Mn-5%SiC_{p}-6%Ni_{p}$ gave the highest Vickers hardness. The results showed that the optimal sintering temperature performed on the $Al-Mg-Mn-SiC_{p}/Ni_{p}$ sample was 400 °C compared with 600 °C because the overall dissolution of alloying elements within the Al-matrix led to an enlargement of grains, thus, reducing their mechanical properties. |
