Abstract: Composites containing two or more distinct components, and having significantly different chemical, physical, and mechanical properties, are important materials for engineering applications. Copper is widely used as a matrix material in aviation, space, transportation, and electrical contact transmission due to its excellent electrical conductivity and its lubrication and friction prevention performance. Copper, which is one of the most basic components of the electrical and electronics sector, also has high thermal conductivity. In addition, copper is preferred in many engineering applications due to its low thermal expansion coefficient, good oxidation resistance, high corrosion resistance, high alloying ability, low cost, and good ductility. However, despite the many excellent properties of copper, its ductility makes it vulnerable to mechanical stresses. In the study, TiB2 ceramic particles with properties such as high hardness, wear resistance and good thermal stability were reinforced into the copper matrix as a reinforcement material. The mechanical properties of the obtained composite will be investigated.
Keywords: copper, tib2, powder metallurgy, mechanical properties
