AA7075 aluminum alloy is widely used for several high-technology applications its high mechanical strength to weight ratio but still the subject of studies seeking a further increase in properties. A commercial powder used, either as-received or after ball-milling. Dense samples are prepared one step by Spark Plasma Sintering, at 550 °C with holding time 15 min and uniaxial pressure 100 MPa.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of an MMC based on AA 7075 strengthened through silicon carbide (SiC) as well boron (B4C) elements were studied. (SiC + B4C) combination was used in various weight percentages 4, 8, 12, 16% to create the hybrid composites utilizing traditional stir casting procedure. XRD SEM measurements investigate dispersion reinforced particles. For example, micro...
