Ceramic whisker or particulate reinforced aluminum alloy composites which exhibit higher elastic modulus and tensile strength, excellent heat resistance and wear resistance, high thermal conductivity and can produce high strain rate superplasticity (HSRS), are expected to have application in engine and wear resistant components and even in semi-conductor packaging for the automobile and aerospace industries. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of volume fraction of AlN on HSRS behavior of an AlN particulate reinforced 6061 aluminum alloy composite and the maximum volume fraction by which the HSRS could produce in order to understand the deformation mechanism of the HSRS.
