Micro-Hardness and Compression Strength of Particle Sizes Recycling Aluminium Alloy AA6061 Using Powder Metallurgy Method

Abstract:

The micro-hardness and compression of recycling aluminum alloy AA6061 were investigated as a function of the different volume fraction and particle sizes by using powder metallurgy method. Three different groups of volume fraction and particle size were used 21.5, 50 and 78.5 % and 25,63 and 100 μm respectively. The current paper highlight on the effect of the various of particle size on the compression strength and microhardness results. The results of compression strength and micro-hardness show that the type of the higher amount of the smaller size was obtained for higher value for each of compression strength and micro-hardness 195.66 MPa and 79.796 Hv respectively.While it was the lower values on the type of the smaller amount of the smaller size (132.05 MPa and 50.369 Hv) respectively.
