Aluminium Silicon Carbide (Al-SiC) nano-MMC has better mechanical properties than micro-MMC and has extremely high strength and hardness. The Al-SiC nano-composites were fabricated using powder metallurgy method to produce a more uniform distributed structure. Compactions of the nano-composites were performed using hydraulic press and a cylindrical shaped die. Two compaction loads, 15 Ton and 20 Ton, have been used to fabricate the nano-composite. The Al-SiC nano-composites have been sintered in two different temperatures. Green uniaxial press compacts in the different compaction load of 15 Ton and 20 Ton were sintered at the temperatures of 580°C and 600°C. The heating rate of the sintering process was 5°C/min and the sintering time varied between at 4 hour and 5 hour. Hardness and density of the nano-composites were investigated. Besides that, the microstructure of sintered nano-composites has been examined and characterized. It was found that the compaction load and sintering temperatures have significantly affected the mechanical properties and microstructure of the nano-composites. Green and theoretical density increased with the increment of compaction pressure. Besides that, the nano-composites have a better hardness value with higher compaction load and higher sintering temperature. It is found in the research that the nano-composite with 20 Ton compaction load and 600°C sintering temperature provided better hardness value and microstructure as compared to the samples fabricated by other compaction load and sintering temperature. However, residual porosities were present in all sintered nano-composites under each sintering condition. This research demonstrated that the higher compaction load and sintering temperature contributed better mechanical properties for the nanocomposite. specialized Lim Mei Jing Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering Theses Gred A Project Paper (Bachelor of Engineering in Manufacturing Engineering (Hons.)) -- Universiti Malaysia Pahang – 2016 Item in PDF format Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering Dissertations Universities and Colleges Dissertations Theses THE0005097(Local) http://ecollib.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/4059 http://ecollib.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/4059 UMP 161213 20251117113324.0 vtls000098409
