“…The results indicate that GNP can be a good reinforcement candidate in metal matrix composites. Prashantha Kumar H.G [4] concluded that it is worth to note that the notable benefit of the GNFs/Metal matrix nanocomposites, comparing with conventional metal matrix composites, and has an immense potential to fabricate the composite reinforce with Graphene having important properties and have high levels of stiffness and strength, this means that the outcome of composite will possess outstanding mechanical properties. Although some positive results have been achieved, there still have a lot of unknown influencing issues need to be explore in graphene reinforced metal matrix nanocomposites and the future research will be focused on the optimization of processing parameters to improve the content and dispersion of GNFs in the metal matrix, also sintering and extrusion parameters.…”

Aluminium alloys and its composites have been widely used in Aerospace and automobile industries due to its potential properties like low density and good structural rigidity. However, the important criteria in enhancing the mechanical properties without compromising the ductility is always challenging in Aluminium and its alloys based composites. Graphene is considered as an ideal reinforcement for the production of composites due to its outstanding mechanical properties. These characteristics offer an increased opportunity for their study in the production of metal matrix composites (MMCs). This study is based on the reinforcement of graphene in aluminium alloys. The synthesis of Graphene Aluminium metal matrix composite is performed by Powder metallurgy process. The composite mixture with various proportions of graphene is ball milled and is extruded to form pellets. These Graphene Aluminium Composite pellets are further Sintered in Argon atmosphere to improve its yield and tensile strength. The increase in ball milling time and proportion of the graphene increases the hardness of the composite. In some times the sintering temperature improves the homogeneous dispersion of the materials. Key words:Aluminium, Graphene, Metal Matrix composites, Powder metallurgy, graphene aluminium composite. INTRODUCTION:The wide application of aluminium in the automotive and aerospace industry, makes aluminiummatrix composites an important option to meet future challenges in the design of structural components. In this concern, the reinforcement material used in the production of composites plays a key role in order to maximize the mechanical performance of the composites. The use of nanometric reinforcement materials for the development of aluminium-matrix composites has demonstrated a positive effect on the mechanical behavior of the final products. This has been the case of aluminium-matrix composites reinforced with carbon nanotubes [1] and most recently reinforced with graphenes [2,3]. A single layer of graphite is called graphene. It has good electrical, thermal, and physical properties. The nanometric nature and high specific surface area allow a great interaction of reinforcement phase with the matrix even in small concentrations.The strength of aluminium alloys may not be high enough to be used in the manufacture of automobile and aerospace parts for specific applications. One method to enhance the strength of aluminium alloys while maintaining their light weight is fabricating metal matrix composites (MMC) using novel and high strength materials as reinforcement. Various processing and manufacturing methods, mostly based on casting or powder metallurgy (PM), are available to synthesize nano size particle reinforced metal composites. However, uniform and homogeneous dispersion of these nanosize particles reinforced in molten metal is not possible. Also, agglomeration, micro-level porosity is observed as a common defect in casting process. Techniques based on powder metallurgy are most suitable and effective f...

“…Due to graphene's excellent properties it has ability to replace CNTs as a first choice for reinforcement in nanocomposite materials. Graphene has many advantages over CNTs like higher specific surface area (2,600 m 2 /g), has less tendency to twist, ability to disperse in matrix easily, higher strength and stiffness [68][69][70]. Graphene has fracture strength of 125 GPa which makes it an ideal material for reinforcement in AMCs.…”

-Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) are potential light weight engineering materials with excellent properties. AMCs find application in many areas including automobile, mining, aerospace and defence, etc. Due to technological advancements, it is possible to use nano sized reinforcement in Al matrix. Nano sized reinforcements enhance the properties of Al matrix compared to micro sized reinforcements. Hybrid reinforcement imbibe superior properties to aluminium matrix composites as compared with Al composites having single reinforcement. This paper is focused on overview of development in the field of Al based metal matrix with nano and hybrid aluminium based composites.

Grafen takviyeli alüminyum esaslı kompozitlerin üretimi ve mekanik özelliklerinin incelenmesi üzerine literatürde birtakım çalışmalar mevcuttur. Bastwros ve diğ. çalışmalarında alüminyum alaşımını (Al6061) ve %1 grafen katkılı alüminyum tozlarını farklı öğütme sürelerinde (10, 30, 60 ve 90 dk) öğütmüştür. Al6061 alaşımı ile ağırlıkça %1 grafen katkılı Al6061 kompozit karşılaştırıldığında 60 dk ve 90 dk öğütme sürelerinde sırasıyla %47 ve %34 oranında mukavemet artışı gerçekleşmiştir [9]. Rashad ve diğ. çalışmalarında, grafen takviye miktarının grafen takviyeli alüminyum esaslı kompozitin çekme, basma dayanımı ve sertliği üzerine olan etkisini araştırmıştır. Saf alüminyum ve ağırlıkça %0.3 grafen nanotabaka (GNT) katkılı alüminyum esaslı kompozit karşılaştırıldığında %2 ofset kuralına göre akma dayanımında %14.7, maksimum çekme dayanımında %11.1 artış tespit etmiştir [10]. Wang ve diğ. yürüttükleri çalışmada, grafen takviyeli alüminyum esaslı kompozitleri toz metalürjisi metoduyla üretmişlerdir. Yaptıkları çalışma neticesinde; %0.3 GNT eklenmesi %5'lik ofset kuralına göre
