| Abstract: | Composite materials are created by combining two or more different materials, which results in new material with enhanced properties when compared to the original components. In the case of Metal Matrix Composites (MMC), the main component is metal, while the reinforcement is made up of ceramics. MMCs are popular due to their durability and toughness, while ceramics provide high elastic modulus. They are widely used in various industries such as sports, automotive, aerospace, packaging and heavy industries. Aluminum-based composites are particularly favored in production due to their low density, high fatigue strength, and excellent resistance to corrosion (Tu et al., 2002). The objective is to produce a distinct aluminum-based composite, containing 2% of aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and then evaluate the mechanical and microstructural characteristics in comparison to pure aluminum using powder metallurgy.
