The effects of different sintering temperatures, namely 400, 500 and 600 8C, on the mechanical properties of four aluminum-graphite alloys were reported. Different percentages of exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets particles (xGnP) were added to pure aluminum by using the powder metallurgy technique to produce Al-0 wt.%xGnP, Al-1 wt.%xGnP, Al-3 wt.%xGnP, and Al-5 wt.%xGnP. The density, fracture surface, compression, and hardness measurements were carried out to report the mechanical properties of the different aluminum-xGnP alloys. Combined data indicated that the Vickers hardness and compressive strength increase, on the other hand, the density decreases with increasing the graphite content in the Al alloys.

Keywords:Aluminum alloys;Exfoliated graphite;Mechanical properties;Nanoparticles;Sintering temperature
