The aluminium matrix composites, particularly with hybrid reinforcements are the advanced materials that have been widely used as a substitute material in the transport sector, to manufacture lighter-weight and higher-performance components. As these components are often subjected to sliding wear under working conditions, therefore several of these applications require enhanced frictional and wear resistance. The purpose of the current review is therefore aimed at highlighting the focus of the current research scenario, in the field of tribological behaviour of aluminium based hybrid composites, to explore the materials for automotive applications. A significant experimental data has been reported in this area, and it has been revealed that the materials possessing high wear resistance are associated with formation of a stable tribolayer on the wear surface and the fine equiaxed wear debris. The operating variables such as applied load, sliding distance and sliding speed, temperature, wearing surface hardness, reinforcement contents and morphology have been found as critical parameters in relation to the wear regime, encountered by the material during operation. An attempt has been made to present and review the various aspects relevant to sliding wear behaviour of aluminium alloys and the hybrid composites, with different combinations of reinforcements. Further, it has been found that the cost and the weight of the aluminium matrix composites can be considerably controlled, by addition of hybrid reinforcements, without compromising the tribological properties.

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) possess excellent physical and mechanical properties. The filler reinforcement into the metallic matrix improves the stiffness, specific strength, wear, creep and fatigue properties compared to the conventional engineering materials. The present work is a study of the effect of reinforcement of different types of fillers in metal matrix and their merits and demerits. Effect of different dispersion on the mechanical properties like tensile strength, strain, hardness, wear and fatigue of MMCs and its different applications are also highlighted in the paper. [7][8][9] and borides (TiB2) [8][9][10][11][12][13] have been used as dispersion. As ceramic reinforcements Carborundum, Sic and alumina are widely used in these MMCs. Moreover, different allotropes of carbon like carbon black, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes [15][16][17][18][19][20] have also been investigated by several researchers. CNTs are potential candidates as they confer very high mechanical properties to the metal matrix. They also increase the electrical conductivity, which makes MMCs very attractive materials for electrical applications. Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) both are used as reinforcement in MMCs. Copper-0.1 wt.% MWCNT composites revealed a 47% increase in hardness and bronze-0.1 wt.% SWCNT showed a 20% improved electrical conductivity [18,19]. Intermetallic compounds like (NiAl, Al 3 Ti) have also been dispersed in MMCs [15][16][17][18][19]. AlAl3Ti nanocomposite showed good mechanical properties at high temperature [17][18][19][20], while TiAl-NiAl MMCs revealed high hardness but poor fracture toughness [12,17]. Keywords: Introduction Preparation Methods and Propertiespreparation of MMnCs by conventional casting processes results in an inhomogeneous distribution of particles within the matrix due to low wettability of ceramic nano-particles.

IntroductionAluminum matrix composites reinforced by SiC particles are widely used in aviation, aerospace, automotive, electronics, and other fields due to their high specific strength and specific stiffness, excellent wear resistance, and low density. Research efforts regarding such composites have been primarily focused on the characteristics of SiC particles, aluminum matrix selection, and the effect of the preparation process on the structure and performance of the composites [1][2][3][4][5][6][7].Al-Mg alloys are one type of the aluminum alloys that can be heat strengthened, and are widely used as automotive body panel material. The microstructure and properties of the alloys can be further controlled by micro-alloying with Si and Cu elements. In general, SiC particle reinforced Al-Mg-based composites are prepared by casting methods, including infiltration casting, transfer molding and gravity casting method, etc. In this method, the matrix alloy is first melted, and the SiC particles are subsequently added to the melt, or the melt is added to a previously prepared SiC body. One disadvantage of this method is the heterogeneous distribution of the SiC particles in the matrix [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. The powder metallurgy (PM) method, as one of the advanced preparation methods, is also commonly used to prepare SiC particle reinforced AlMg-based composite materials [13][14][15][16][17]. Asgharzadeh studied the effect of the SiC content on the SiC distribution and microstructure during the sintering process of a SiC/Al-1.0Mg-0.6Si-0.2Cu-0.1Fe (mass%) composite [15]. Their results indicated that SiC particles reduced the sintering density of the composite. Yan et al. [16] studied the influence of SiC particle contents (25~35 vol.%) on a SiC/Al-1.0Mg-0.6Si-0.2Cu (mass%) composite. It showed that the densification, thermal expansion coefficient of the composite and the tensile strength of the composite decreased with the increasing SiC particle content.The microstructure and properties of SiC particle reinforced PM Al-Mg-based composites are affected by the particle size and volume fraction of the SiC particles, the matrix alloy composition and the sintering process employed [7,9,10,12,15]. Subsequent thermomechanical treatment processes also have an effect on the mechanical properties of composite material, such as the solution treatment process [11]. However, the effects of solution treatment temperature and SiC particle on SiC/Al-Mg-Cu-Sn composites are not reported in the literature. This work is purposed to study the effects of solution treatment temperature and SiC particle contents on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of PM SiC/Al-Mg-CuSn composites. Experimental MethodsSpherical Al-0.64 Mg-0.60 Cu-0.36 Sn-0.22 Fe-0.18 Zn-0.04 Si (mass%) powder (Taigang Group Aluminium Powder Co., China) and SiC particles (99.6%) (Xuzhou Jiechuang New Material Technology Co., China) were used as the raw materials. The average diameters of the matrix alloy powders and SiC particles are 20 μ...
