INVESTIGATION OF SINTERING CONDITIONS AND THE GNP ADDITIONS ON ALUMINUM COMPACTS

Today, due to its lightness and superior properties, the use of Aluminum (Al) materials has increased considerably. In the production of Powder Metal (PM) or nanomaterials, it is possible to form the materials required by the additives to be added into the main composition. When recent studies investigated, it has been seen that the Graphene NanoPlate (GNP) additive improves the mechanical properties of almost all materials. In this review study, the properties of GNP added to Aluminum PM and Nanomaterials are investigated. Also, the mechanical properties of Al-GNP materials sintered with different methods such as hot pressing, hot extrusion, and plasma sintering are investigated and compared among themselves.

Keywords:

Aluminum, GNP sintering powder metal, nanomaterials,
