“…In a broad variety of industrial applications, hybrid aluminum matrix composites can be considered as replacement of conventional material due to attractive properties, including excellent corrosion resistance, high strength-to-weight ratio, lower thermal expansion coefficient, good casting ability, lower density, higher strength, greater wear resistance, better fatigue resistance, and improved stability at elevated temperature [11][12][13]. Several researches have been carried out on composites with two or more reinforcements, such as SiC particles with carbon nanotubes (CNT) or Al 2 O 3 reinforced aluminum matrix composites (AMC), to fabricate hybrid aluminum matrix composites focusing on the investigation of hardness, strength, wear, and thermal properties [14].…”

Hybrid reinforcement’s novel composite (Al-Fe3O4-SiC) via powder metallurgy method was successfully fabricated. In this study, the aim was to define the influence of SiC-Fe3O4 nanoparticles on microstructure, mechanical, tribology, and corrosion properties of the composite. Various researchers confirmed that aluminum matrix composite (AMC) is an excellent multifunctional lightweight material with remarkable properties. However, to improve the wear resistance in high-performance tribological application, hardening and developing corrosion resistance was needed; thus, an optimized hybrid reinforcement of particulates (SiC-Fe3O4) into an aluminum matrix was explored. Based on obtained results, the density and hardness were 2.69 g/cm3, 91 HV for Al-30Fe3O4-20SiC, after the sintering process. Coefficient of friction (COF) was decreased after adding Fe3O4 and SiC hybrid composite in tribology behaviors, and the lowest COF was 0.412 for Al-30Fe3O4-20SiC. The corrosion protection efficiency increased from 88.07%, 90.91%, and 99.83% for Al-30Fe3O4, Al-15Fe3O4-30SiC, and Al-30Fe3O4-20SiC samples, respectively. Hence, the addition of this reinforcement (Al-Fe3O4-SiC) to the composite shows a positive outcome toward corrosion resistance (lower corrosion rate), in order to increase the durability and life span of material during operation. The accomplished results indicated that, by increasing the weight percentage of SiC-Fe3O4, it had improved the mechanical properties, tribology, and corrosion resistance in aluminum matrix. After comparing all samples, we then selected Al-30Fe3O4-20SiC as an optimized composite.

“…Also, automotive component design can be developed to produce a longer product life [3]. Several studies on AMCs reinforced by ceramic materials such as SiC, C, Al2O3, SiO2, B, BN, B4C, AIN and others have recently been carried out [4]. One of the aims of the study was to find a replacement material for friction brakes that is free from asbestos or Non-Asbestos (NOB) [5,6].…”

Due to the increased demand for aluminium and the prohibitive cost of producing primary aluminium, the process of making AMCs using recycled aluminium alloy as a matrix and silica sand tailing without leaching as a filler is essential to be developed. For more cost-effective, the purpose of this study is to make particulate aluminium composite matrix AMCs with a matrix of recycled aluminium and reinforced with silica sand tailing without leaching. This research involves the effect of differences in grain size and filler weight percentage on matrix Al-ZnSiFeCuMg recycled aluminium alloy powder. This study used powder metallurgy technology as well as two-way hot-compaction (300°C) and applied a sintering temperature of 550°C. Density, hardness, and wear testing, as well as microstructure analysis, were conducted to determine the characteristics of the resulting AMCs. An increase in hardness of 67% was achieved by the AMCs-164 µm-20%SiO2 specimen, which used a filler grain size of 164 µm wt.20%. Meanwhile, AMCs-31 µm-20%SiO2, which used a filler grain size of 31 µm, only increased by 63%. The wear test result also showed a lower wear rate achieved by the AMCs-164 µm-20%SiO2 specimen. The results analyses using SEM-EDS instruments showed higher agglomeration and porosity in specimens using a filler grain size of 31 µm, while AMCs using a filler grain size of 164 µm showed an even spread of filler powder. Therefore, AMCs that used 164 µm powder-sized fillers have a stronger bond between the filler and the matrix and produce AMCs that are harder than AMCs that use 31 µm fillers.

Aluminum metallic composites (AMCs) have been recognized as promising material exhibiting excellent functional and structural properties that can be significantly tailored to meet the industrial demands as well as to meet the design criteria for many applications such as aerospace, automobiles, marine, defense, and so on. Herein, an effort is made to provide an extensive overview of the various processing techniques adopted for the development of AMCs. Various processing kinetics of stir casting technique are elaborated comprehensively in terms of existing challenges, conceivable modifications incorporated in it. Considering the critical assessment on mechanical properties made through various kinds of literature, an electromagnetic stir-squeeze casting synergically equipped with ultrasonic transducing probe and bottom pouring attachments is recommended as the most appropriate processing technique for the development of AMCs. Moreover, appropriate recommendations regarding process variables and additives/modifiers, and potential future research opportunities are also addressed significantly to encourage the ongoing and upcoming researchers, which lead this critical Review toward novelty and uniqueness.
