The Effect of Sintering Temperature on Graphene Oxide Reinforced Copper Matrix Composite Fabricated Through Powder Metallurgy Technique
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2024, Vol 9, Issue 03
Abstract
Composite materials revolutionize engineering, seamlessly blending diverse components for enhanced strength and versatility. These advanced structures, combining fibers and matrices, redefine traditional material boundaries. Their lightweight yet robust nature propels innovation across industries, from aerospace to automotive. Embracing composites heralds a new era of design possibilities and heightened performance. The work has been carried out by the bulk Cu/GO sintered composite's microstructure, grain development, and texture are examined to the sintering temperatures. The copper/graphene oxide (Cu/GO) composite is made using the powder metallurgy approach, which uses fine Cu particles as the matrix. The consequences of sintering for one hour at a different temperature > 600 Celsius are to be examined. According to the study, GO limits inhibit grain growth during sintering. Additionally, because of the varying rates of grain formation, sintered composites have irregular texture. The composite reaches its maximum hardness when sintered at different temperatures. The mechanical characteristics of the composite are observed as the sintering temperature increases and Cu/GO sintered has influenced the density, porosity, and hardness.
