Aluminium matrix composites are materials with low density, light weight, and high strength, especially when reinforced with ceramic materials such as B4C, SiC, Al2O3, and are preferred in many industries such as defense, logistics, aerospace and automotive. Aluminium matrix composites are used in numerous tools and devices in areas where lower weight and higher strength are required, such as wings, fuel tanks, landing gear in aircraft and engine blocks, brake and suspension systems in vehicles used in transportation. Thanks to the various production methods of aluminium composites such as casting method, extrusion method and powder metallurgy method, the properties that the reinforced particles provide to the structure, it is possible to tailoring composite structures with the properties for the required area. In this study, composite materials with AA2024 matrix reinforced with 1 wt.% B4C were produced by powder metallurgy method. During the production of composite powders by mechanical alloying, 4 different components were used as Process Control Agents (PCA): Methanol, Ethanol, Stearic Acid and Zinc Stearate. The final composite powders were sintered under a protective atmosphere at a temperature of 560 °C. he effects of different PCA additives on properties such as hardness, tensile strength, powder morphology and average powder size distribution of the obtained samples were investigated.Aluminium matrix composites are materials with low density, light weight, and high strength, especially when reinforced with ceramic materials such as B4C, SiC, Al2O3, and are preferred in many industries such as defense, logistics, aerospace and automotive.
