Özet

Metal matrix composite materials enable the integration of superior properties from different components within the same material system through the microstructural integration formed by ceramic, carbon, or metal-based reinforcements dispersed within a metallic matrix. These are advanced technology products. Due to properties such as high thermal stability, wear resistance, high strength, and thermal conductivity, they find a wide range of applications in industrial systems where high-temperature mechanisms and wear loads are prevalent, such as aerospace, automotive, electrical, and electronic industries. Among metal matrix composites, copper matrix composites stand out due to their potential to increase mechanical strength, hardness, and thermal stability while preserving copper's naturally high electrical and thermal conductivity. With these characteristics, copper matrix composites offer balanced, high-performance and long-lasting solutions for modern engineering systems where both structural strength and electrical functionality are critical in the same material. In this study, mechanical alloying was performed using the powder metallurgy method to obtain alloys containing increasing amounts of (0.25 wt.% SiC, 0.25 wt.% graphene, totalling 0.50 wt.%, and 0.50 wt.% SiC, 0.50 wt.% graphene, totalling 1 wt.%) nano SiC and nano graphene reinforced copper matrix nanocomposite materials obtained by mechanical alloying using the powder metallurgy method.
