Abstract
This study focuses on the manufacturing of hybrid functionally graded metal matrix composite (HFGMMC) using Al7039 alloy matrix phase which is used as armor material in today’s world. In this context, manufacturing stages of matrix material were analyzed, and necessary parameters were determined for remanufacturing using casting method. With the determined parameters, the matrix material was reinforced by SiC, Al2O3, and B4C particles in different volume rates at an average size of 3–10 µm using stir casting method. Three metal matrix composite (MMC) plates which were manufactured using different reinforcement particles in different volume rates were joined as semi-solid with the effect of temperature and pressure in a specially designed mold. In order to complete the manufacturing process, hot forging, and heat treatment were applied to the manufactured composite plate in accordance with the parameters determined in the manufacturing of the matrix. The manufactured MMC and HFGMMC plates were compared in terms of their micro structure, micro hardness, tensile strength, and wear behavior. Finally, HFGMMC plates were joined together by friction stir welding (FSW) in order to analyze their micro structures and mechanical properties after welding.
