Abstract
In this study, due to the enhanced properties of graphene , it was aimed to produce aluminum matrix composite by graphene reinforcement. Several different methods were applied such as lost foam casting , sand casting , die casting , ceramic mold casting and squeeze casting . The incorporation of the graphene was established by only squeeze casting method. Graphene was added by two methods: as layers and in aluminum foils. The produced samples were subjected to bending tests, and it was found that 25% increase in bending strength was achieved by 0.1 wt% graphene addition to A356 alloy .
