For this purpose, the effect of four kinds of aging heat treatments on the properties of the aluminum metal matrix composites (AMMCs) is studied systematically through Vickers hardness and room temperature compressive testing. The microstructure is analyzed by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. The experimental results show that the hardness of the AMMCs after four kinds of aging processes has different degrees of improvement compared to no-aging. After the T6-1, T6-2, T6I4-1, and T6I4-2 aging processes, the hardness of the composites is 325, 278, 306, and 345.8 <i>HV</i>, respectively.
