In this study, production and properties of titanium diboride particle reinforced aluminum matrix composite were investigated. TiB2 particles form in-situ through the reaction of TiO2 and H3BO3 and Na3AlF6 in aluminum melt. The results showed that the in-situ TiB2 particles formed were spherical in shape and had an average diameter of 1mm .Moreover, the distribution of TiB2 particles in the matrix were uniform. The ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, flexural stress and hardness were found to while reduction in area and elongation were found to decrease with increase in reinforcement content in the matrix.

Aluminum Oxide and Titanium Diboride Reinforced Metal Matrix Composite and Its Mechanical Properties
Kurtoğlu, Aziz; Sevinç, Naci; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2004)
This study is on the production and testing of an aluminum metal matrix composite. Metal Matrix Composites can be produced in several different ways. In this study, an aluminum matrix composite is produced by direct addition of the reinforcement ceramic into the liquid metal. The ceramic reinforcement for this process was a mixture of TiB2 and Al2O3 which was produced by means of a thermite reaction of reactants Al, B2O3 and TiO2 all in powder form with their respective stoichiometric amounts. This ceramic ...
Effect of TiH2 particle size on foaming of aluminium
Kubilay, Ceylan; Öztürk, Tayfur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2005)
A study is carried out on the production of aluminum foams via powder processing. The study deals mainly with the effect of TiH2 particle size on the process of foaming. Mainly two TiH2 particle sizes were used; namely 27,5 ?m and 8,5 ?m. Foaming experiments were carried out at temperatures between 675oC ا 840oC. The viscosity of the system is adjusted by controlled addition of Al2O3. The study shows that choice of foaming agent size is influential in the foaming process. With the use of fine foaming agent,...
An investigation of the microstructural and mechanical properties of tri-calcium phosphates doped with aluminum and fluoride ions
Tahmasebifar, Aydin; Evis, Zafer; Department of Engineering Sciences (2011)
The aim of this study was to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties of pure tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and tricalcium phosphates doped with aluminum (Al3+) and fluoride (F-) ions at different compositions. TCP was synthesized via precipitation method and sintered at 1100C for 1 and 5 h. It was observed that density and relative density of the sintered materials were decreased by extending the sintering time. Increased densities were achieved upon Al3+ and/or F- doping. For structural anal...
Production and characterization of porous titanium alloys
Esen, Ziya; Bor, Şakir; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2007)
In the present study, production of titanium and Ti6Al4V alloy foams has been investigated using powder metallurgical “space holder technique” in which magnesium powder were utilized to generate porosities in the range 30 to 90 vol. %. Also, sintering of titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy powders in loose and compacted condition at various temperatures (850-1250oC) and compaction pressures (120-1125 MPa), respectively, were investigated to elucidate the structure and mechanical properties of the porous cell walls...
Investigation of the effect of orientation and heat treatment on the stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of 7050 aluminium alloy
Çevik, Gül; Doruk, Mustafa; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2004)
In the present work, the effect of variation in specimen orientation and heat treatment on the Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) susceptibility of 7050 aluminum alloy was investigated in 3,5% NaCl solution and under freely corroding conditions. For this purpose, Constant Extension Rate Tests (CERT) was performed on precracked Compact Tension (CT) specimens and the Direct Current Potential Drop technique was applied to measure the crack lengths. In addition to crack length versus time curves, the relationship ...
