Abstract

In this study, SiC reinforced aluminum (Al) metal matrix composites were prepared by microwave sintering. The effects of SiC content, pressure and sintering temperature on the density, hardness and microstructure of the composites were investigated. It was found that the relative density of SiC/Al composites is 98.43% when the content of SiC is 5 Vol%. When the SiC content is 15 vol%, the sintering temperature is 770 °C and the pressure is 250 MPa, the density and hardness of the composites SiC/Al composites are 96.14% and 130 HV, respectively. And the SiC particles can be uniformly dispersed in the Al matrix by microwave sintering.
