Abstract

In the frame of the research project that is going on, the mechanical properties of recycled gas atomized scrap aluminium (AA7075) based hybrid composites reinforced with nano SiC filler (whisker)+ Graphene Nano plateless (GNP) and fine carbon Fibers elements have been evaluated. Firstly, the mixture was homogenized by means of ball milling process during 4 hours. After hot compaction at 200°C compaction of the compositions the final specimens have been produced with the novel combined method called “SINTER+FORGING” at 650°C followed by relaxation treatment at 200°C during the 2 hours. This type of hybrid composite is used for aeronautical applications. Static and dynamic-Time dependent compression tests have been conducted. Interface and microstructure of these composites have also been evaluated by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
