Abstract

Metal matrix composites (Metal Matrix Composites) are a combination of two or more materials with aluminium metal as the matrix and developed to improve metal properties, strength, high heat stability, and hardness. Powder metallurgy technique is one of the metal matrix composite manufacturing processes in solid condition which is still being developed because it is more economical, does not require complicated equipment. In this study, the manufacture of metal composites with aluminium-magnesium as the matrix and SiC as reinforcement was carried out using the powder metallurgy method of composition variation (75% Al : 15% SiC : 10% Mg, 80% Al : 15% SiC : 5% Mg). Then the results of the mixing are compacted at a pressure of 14 ton-force with a holding time of 4 minutes. After compaction in the form of a specimen, then sintered at various temperatures (500 C̊ and 550 C̊) for 2 hours. After sintering with a furnance machine, the specimen is ready to be tested for mechanical properties and microstructure photos. The results of the bending and hardness test are obtained by increasing the composition of magnesium resulting in the bending strength and hardness also increasing successively. In mixing Al:SiC:Mg (80%: 15%: 5%) with a temperature of 550°C, the highest bending strength is 50.31 MPa and the highest hardness is 76.21 HV.
