Characteristic Behaviour of Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites: A Review

Abstract

This paper presents a summary of work reported on Aluminium metal matrix composites with different reinforcements. Aluminium metal matrix has growing demand in aircraft, automotive and other industries due to its light weight, high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance and workability. The work is done by reviewed of research Papers, Articles, Magazines, references books etc. The present work focus on mechanical properties and surface texture of aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) reinforced by silicon carbide, fly ash, TiO2, graphene and B4C and with different wt% by using stir casting technique. Each reinforced material has an individual property which when added improves the properties of the base alloy. Effect of different reinforcement on AMCs on the microstructure analyses and mechanical properties like tensile strength, hardness, density, electrical resistivity and wear behaviour is also discussed in detail. Major applications of different AMCs are also highlighted in this work.
