AbstractAim of this study is to investigate effect of titanium carbide nanoparticle contents on the mechanical properties of the Aluminum/TiC composites. Aluminum and titanium carbide nanoparticles were mixtured in the turbula mixer. After mixture process, samples were produced using Hot Press in argon atmosphere. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction were used for characterization. Compression test was performed for determination of strength and also vickers hardness tests were carried out to understand mechanical effects of TiC particles on pure aluminum.
