In this study, Al7075-B4C composite materials were produced by adding boron carbide (1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 30wt %) to the Al7075 alloy matrix using powder metallurgy and hot-pressing methods. The effect of the reinforcement ratio on the microstructure and mechanical properties (density, porosity ratio, Vickers hardness, and compressive strength) were investigated. As a result of the tests conducted, the highest density (2.63 g/cm³), Vickers hardness (256 HV), compressive strength (509 MPa), and the lowest porosity ratio (0.5%) were obtained in the Al7075-30B4C composite. In the microstructural examinations, it was determined that the reinforcement particles (30% B4C) showed a homogeneous distribution in the matrix. As a result, it was seen that the reinforcement of 30% B4C significantly improved the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Al7075 matrix composite.

Bu çalışmada, Al7075 alaşımı matrise ağırlıkça %1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 ve 30 oranlarında bor karbür ilavesi yapılarak Al7075-B4C kompozit malzemeler, toz metalürjisi ve sıcak presleme yöntemleri kullanılarak üretilmiştir. Bor karbür katkı oranının mikroyapı ile mekanik özellikler (yoğunluk, gözeneklilik oranı, Vickers sertliği ve basma dayanımı) üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Yürütülen testler sonucunda en yüksek yoğunluk (2,63 g/cm³), Vickers sertliği (256 HV), basma dayanımı (509 MPa) ve en düşük gözeneklilik oranı (%0,5) Al7075-30B4C kompozitte elde edilmiştir. Mikroyapı incelemelerinde, %30 B4C katkı oranıyla takviye partiküllerinin matris içinde homojen bir dağılım gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, %30 B4C katkısının Al7075 matrisli kompozitin mikroyapısını ve mekanik özelliklerini önemli ölçüde iyileştirdiği görülmüştür.
