This study focuses on nano silicon carbide particulate-reinforced metal-matrix composites processing route using different powder metallurgy techniques; cold press-sintered, hot press-vacuum and effect of milling process. SiC particulates, whose diameters 50~200 nm were choosen for incorporated into Al-3wt% SiC. The microstructures of the samples were investigated by means scanning electron microscopy and correlated to their mechanical properties.
