Abstract:
Powder Metallurgy is a term covering a wide range of methods in which materials or powders are made from metal powders. It is a highly developed and reliable method of manufacturing ferrous and non ferrous parts.This work involves the development of metal matrix composite materials by combining the desirable attributes of metals and reinforcements. Here aluminum of 2024 issued as metal matrix composite with graphene as reinforced material. 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1% of graphene are added to the metal to form composite. This matrix composite has superior qualities compared to other matrixes. They have applications in several demanding fields like automobile, aerospace, defense, sports, electronics, bio-medical and other industrial purposes. Composite materials possess improved physical and mechanical properties e.g. lower density, low coefficient of thermal expansion, good corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, high stiffness, and high hardness and wear resistance. This AMMC's can be fabricated in powder metallurgy set up with little effort and at low cost. Tensile, Impact, flexural and hardness tests are performed to study the mechanical properties.
