“…The conventional reinforcements used are SiC, Si 3 N 4 , AlN, Al 2 O 3 , TiB 2 , ZrO 2 and Y 2 O 3 . Matthews and Rawlings [3], Surappa [4], Waku and Nagasawa [5] explored that MMCs possess several advantages over monolithic materials. These include greater strength, higher stiffness, light weight, better high-temperature properties, low coefficient of thermal expansion, improved electrical performance, better abrasion and wear resistance.…”

Intrinsically smart, metal matrix composites (MMCs) are lightweight and highperformance materials having ever expanding industrial applications. The structural and the functional properties of these materials can be altered as per the industrial demands.The process technologies indulged in fabrication and machining of these materials attract the researchers and industrial community. Hybrid Electric discharge machining is a promising and the most reliable non-conventional machining process for MMCs. It exhibits higher competence for machining complex shapes with greater accuracy. This paper presents an up-to-date review of progress and benefits of different routes for fabrication and machining of composites. It reports certain practical analysis and research findings including various issues on fabrication and machining of MMCs. It is concluded that polycrystalline tools and diamond coated tools are best suitable for various conventional machining operations. High speed, small depth of cut and low feed rate are a key to better finish. In addition, hybrid EDM has proved to be an active research area in critical as well as non-conventional machining since last few years. This paper incorporates year wise research work done in fabrication, conventional machining, nonconventional machining and hybrid machining of MMCs. Conclusions and future scope are addressed in the last section of the paper.

“…18,35,36 The wide range of application of MMCs is due to their various distinct and unique characteristics like the superior electrical conductivity, stability of the shape and properties at elevated temperatures, light in weight, good corrosion resistance, low thermal expansion, excellent stiffness, high strength, greater abrasion resistance etc. [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] Along with the rapid research in increasing the strength and other mechanical properties of the various MMCs, there is also considerable research taking place for the improvement of electrical conductivity of these composites too. The main aim, of these researches, is to enhance the electrical conductivity while reducing the various losses that happen during the transfer of electrical energy thus increasing the economic benefits to a large scale, for huge power grids.…”

Rising demand for reliable thermally and electrically conductive and stable, light weight, and mechanically enduring materials in architecting smart electronics has accelerated the research in engineering metal-matrix composites (MMCs). Among these, copper (Cu) and aluminium (Al) based MMCs are popular owing to high electrical conductivity, but large heat dissipation in compact electronic gadgets is still challenging. The reinforcement of Cu/Al with graphene caters to the problem of heat dissipation, strengthens mechanical endurance, and optimizes electronic and thermal conductivities as per device architecture and application. Here we systematically review the state-of-the-art Cu/Al MMCs using graphene reinforcement with enhanced electrical, thermal, and mechanical attributes for smart electronics manufacturing and discuss the fundamentals for optimising the electrical and thermal charge transport in Cu/Al MMCs through graphene reinforcement. In addition, we discuss challenges, alternate solutions, and advanced prospects of graphene reinforced Cu/Al MMCs for smart electronics manufacturing.

“…The result reveals that the composite’s worn surface is directly impacted by the friction coefficient and rate of wear [24]. Most matrix materials are bonded with suitable reinforcements via solid-state processing (powder metallurgy), liquid-state processing (gravity, centrifugal, stir, and vacuum stir casting), and vapour-state processing (vapour and spray deposition process) techniques [25, 26]. Among various fabrication techniques listed above, the liquid-state processing distinctively improves physical-chemical properties between matrix and reinforcements resulting in increased product quality and suitability for mass production.…”

Advances in friction materials are imposed on developing multiceramic reinforced hybrid nanocomposites with superior tribomechanical properties. The silver-based matrix metals are gained significance in various applications like bearing, ratchet, and electrical contacts due to their high frictional resistance and good thermal and chemical stability compared to traditional metals. The present research is to develop silver-based hybrid nanocomposites containing alumina (Al2O3) and silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles of 50 nm mixing with the ratio of 0 wt% Al2O3/0 wt% SiC, 5 wt% Al2O3/0 wt% SiC, and 5 wt% Al2O3/5 wt% SiC via the semisolid vacuum stir-cast technique. The vacuum technology minimizes casting defects and increases composite properties. The casted composite samples are subjected to study the effect of reinforcement on thermal adsorption, conductivity, diffusivity, and frictional resistance. The composite containing 5 wt% Al2O3np/5 wt% SiCnp is to find optimum thermal and frictional behaviour. The thermal adsorption and frictional resistance are increased by 30% and 27% compared to unreinforced cast silver. The Ag/5 wt% Al2O3np/5 wt% SiCnp hybrid nanocomposite is recommended for automotive friction-bearing applications.
