“…Repeated remelting can have a significant effect on the as-cast structure of composite materials, in particular manifesting itself in changes in the size and morphology of reinforcing particles, their distribution in the volume of the ingot, as well as in the formation of specific types of casting defects [6][7][8]. In turn, such changes affect the mechanical properties and tribological behavior of composites.…”

One of the limiting factors for expanding the applications of aluminum alloy castings in many high-tech industries is the insufficient level of tribological properties, especially under conditions of dry and abrasive wear. Reinforcing of aluminum alloys with hard ceramic particles, i.e., transition to aluminum matrix composites, allows significantly increasing their resistance against dry sliding friction, scuffing, and seizure in wide temperature and force intervals of operation. Among the numerous problems related to the industrial implementation of cast aluminum matrix composites, the problem of their recycling takes the important place. This work is aimed at establishing the influence of metallurgical processes during remelting on the change in tribological properties of cast Al-Si-B4C aluminum matrix composites. For this purpose, tribological tests in conditions of dry friction according to the ball-on-disc scheme were used. Reinforcing of an AlSi12 matrix alloy with B4C particles leads to a decrease in the composite friction coefficient and the mass wear in the as-cast state in comparison with an unreinforced matrix alloy. During remelting, the tribological properties of the aluminum matrix composites do not deteriorate. Repeated remelting leads to the improvement in particle distribution uniformity, formation of the Al3BC phase at the matrix/particle interfaces, fragmentation of reinforcing B4C particles due to cyclic thermal loads as well as an increase in the porosity fraction. The changes in the structural-phase composition during remelting have a direct influence on the level of tribological properties. Typical effects associated with dry friction, such as plastic deformation of the matrix material and the formation of areas of adhesion-cohesive fracture, indicative of scuffing, were revealed by SEM analysis of the wear tracks of an unreinforced matrix alloy. For the composite material, these effects manifested to a much lesser extent. A qualitatively similar sliding wear behavior was observed for all composite samples, regardless of the remelting iteration. The study suggests that the formation of a transitional tribolayer may occur during dry sliding friction of aluminum matrix composites, which can reduce the friction coefficient.

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are still scarcely described due to various combinations of used materials and a wide array of technologies. Applying the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method to describe the quality of metal composite castings may contribute to eliminating specific (characteristic only to these materials) defects. This part of the analysis determines the criticality numbers, meaning the frequency of a given failure, detectability level and significance of a given failure to the group of specific composite casting failures. It contributes to establishing the priority number (P), which is a measure used to assess risk, a notion essential in discussing quality in a composite casting.

“…Liquid-based MMC fabrication approaches (e.g., casting) remain an attractive option with a wide room for improvement and innovation. Al-based MMCs are especially successful in enhancing overall load-bearing [50], damping [51], tribological [52], electrical [53] and heat conduction [54] properties.…”

Ongoing industrial demand for lightweight materials has spiked the research interest in aluminium-based metal matrix composites for its specific properties. The amount of scientific publication available on the matter has led to the vast production of knowledge, which highlights the need for a systematic assessment if further progress is expected. In this paper, a systematic review of the published literature is conducted, according to the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, on the Scopus and Web of Science databases were used in the literature search, which was completed on the 29 August 2020. The data of the research work is structured in the particle pre-processing stage and the melt processing stage. The present review clarifies the combined pair-wise effect of particles and the melt treatment performed on their wettability or dispersive or de-agglomerative capability, which allows to achieve their final mechanical properties.
