“…In the PM process, the resultant composites presented superior mechanical properties. On the other hand, long time sintering unconventional PM methods leads to grain growth and loss of the unique properties of composites with refined microstructure [45] 3.3 Diffusion Bonding Nikhil Bharat & P.S.C Bose [31,[42][43] says that diffusion bonding is a solid phase fabrication method used for the manufacturing of monofilament metal matrix composite. Diffusion bonding occurs as a result of diffusion of the interface atoms of the bonded materials [42,44].Matrix and reinforcements are stacked and then pressed at high temperature to complete the bonding process [48].S Venugopal, U Elaiyarasan [36-38figur] used diffusion bonding of Rolled plates of 5 mm thick AA7075 aluminium alloys using SiC papers and the most optimal parameters are found to be bonding temperature of 510 °C, bonding pressure of 13 MPa and holding time of 45 min with the desirability of 0.82.The Figure 6 shows the steps of diffusion bonding process.…”

“…High speed and downward force are applied to the tool such that high frictional heat is generated which makes the material plasticised. Due to plastic deformation, the grain structure will be recrystallised which enhances the mechanical properties, fatigue life as well as strength of the material, as shown in Figure 7 [31]. mainly divided into two types, liquid state processing and solid-state processing.…”

Aluminium's use in aerospace, marine and automobiles has grown significantly due to its lightweight nature, enhancing fuel efficiency and overall performance. Its corrosion resistance also contributes to longevity, reducing maintenance costs. However, its low hardness, low tensile strength and poor tribological behaviour limit its usage. These demerits can be overcomed by adding specific reinforcement to enrich its properties. As there are two types of fabrication methods for fabrication of MMCs such as Solid state processing and liquid state processing, the above fabrication techniques result in varying mechanical property, tribological property and production cost. So far from the available literature we’ve found that the liquid state processing is more popular than solid-state processing due to the better dispersion of the reinforcement particles in the matrix materials. The Addition of nanoparticles has been found to be essential to provide requisite strength and hardness to these composites. Overall, study concludes that the hybrid aluminium matrix composites will ensure to serve as an alternative for the unreinforced Al-alloys and ceramic reinforced composites in various automotive applications requiring high strength-to-weight ratio, low cost and superior wear resistance.

“…Stir casting also makes it possible to use inexpensive and easily accessible reinforcing components like metal and ceramic particles, which contributes to the cheap manufacturing cost. The reinforcing particles or fibers may be well mixed with the aluminium matrix during the stir casting process, which is an additional benefit [14][15][16] [43]. Achieving constant mechanical qualities in the end product relies on a homogeneous distribution of reinforcement across the composite, which is achieved in this way.…”

“…Stir casting also makes it possible to customize the composite's characteristics to a certain application by allowing the user alter the volume proportion of reinforcing particles or fibers. Factors such as the process of composite production, the size, type, and volume proportion of reinforcing particles or fibers affect the attributes of AMMCs [16]. Most of the time, AMMCs have better mechanical characteristics than pure aluminium matrices, including greater strength, modulus, as well and toughness.…”

This research evaluates adaptive and statistical techniques to enhance the wear behaviour of A356 metal matrix composites supplemented by nanoparticles of TiO2 and SiC. The composites were created by the stir casting technique, and their wear behaviour was studied using a pin-on-disc device. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis confirmed an even distribution of strengthening particles over the A356 aluminum matrix surface. This research revealed that the addition of these SiC and TiO2 nanoparticles to composites resulted in a more refined particulate structure in the end product. For an examination of the composites' wear behaviour in contrast to basic alloy, the data was optimized using the Taguchi approach and Improved particle swarm optimization (I.P.S.O.) algorithm. The findings indicated that speed, applied load and sliding distance significantly influenced the rate of wear for the base alloy matrix, A356 containing 3% TiO2 nanocomposite, and A356 containing 3% SiC nanocomposite, correspondingly. Composites using nanoparticles of SiC and TiO2 have much improved tribological characteristics.

“…distributed in a metallic or intermetallic matrix [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Composites of such grade possess high mechanical strength, hardness, wear resistance and operating temperatures that are difficult to achieve for conventional metal alloys [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. In [ 10 ] the authors investigated the wear resistance of an automobile brake disc sample fabricated from an Al-SiC composite as compared to a brake disc fabricated from gray cast iron.…”

This article considers issues pertinent to the research of the phase composition, structure and mechanical properties of materials obtained from powders of composite (Ni-Ti)-TiB2, which have prospective applications in aerospace and automotive industry and engine construction. The starting powder materials (Ni-Ti)-TiB2 were obtained by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). Research samples were produced using high-temperature vacuum sintering. It was shown that the use of such materials increases the wettability of the particles and allows the production of composites, the density of which is 95% of the theoretical one. Average particle size was 1.54 µm, average microhardness was 8 GPa, which is an order of magnitude higher than the average microhardness of pure nickel-based and titanium-based alloys, and the ultimate strength values were comparable to those of tungsten-based heavy alloys.
