“…Secondary processing methods such as machining, joining, etc., are extremely important in fabricating any finished component. Even monolithic composites consisting of both metallic and ceramic constituents are inherently difficult to join owing to the presence of the hard ceramic reinforcements [273,274]. These reinforcements increase the melt viscosity, cause entrapment of porosity, and result in a lack of fusion at the joint due to their high melting point.…”

Monolithic components are often insufficient when a combination of conflicting properties, or a variation in properties at different regions within a material is required. Functionally graded composite materials (FGCM) are a relatively new class of materials with a systematic variation of the composition, microstructure, and properties along one direction. The graded structure offers tailorable property combinations not achievable with monolithic composites and significant recent research has been carried out on their development. An effort has been made in this article to review the latest developments on bulk FGCMs since 2015. The different processing techniques used for their fabrication have been discussed, highlighting their advantages, limitations, and recent advancements pertaining to FGCM fabrication. Various physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of FGCMs have been treated separately, and wherever possible, summary plots combining data from various research articles have been developed. Finally, potential areas for directing future FGCM research have been identified.

“…Various difficulties that arise due to fusion welding of AMCs are: (a) incomplete mixing between the BM and reinforcement particles (b) reaction between reinforcements and molten metal resulting in undesirable phases, (c) formation of large size of porosity, etc. 30,31 Researchers 32 studied TIG welding of AMCs and observed the joint strength reached up to 70% of base material even after proper selection of various welding parameters. The strength is reduced due to the reaction between silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminum in the molten pool and results in the formation of brittle joints.…”

Aluminium matrix composites are one of the most important classes of materials and have become a major focus of attention in aerospace, aeronautical, defense, and automotive industries. Aluminium matrix composites when compared to conventional alloys offer various promising properties like excellent strength-to-weight ratio, higher stiffness, lower coefficient of thermal expansion, better dimensional stability, and tribological behavior. The properties of aluminium matrix composites are highly influenced by the appropriate selection of metal matrix, processing routes, and reinforcement. Various ceramic particles (oxides, carbides, nitrides, borides, etc.) are used as reinforcements for aluminium matrix composites. Significantly different properties may be obtained using various reinforced particles and matrix material, which makes it difficult for the traditional fusion welding techniques to meet the joining requirements of these composites and is restricted to certain grades of materials. Solid-state welding process offers greater advantages over the conventional fusion welding. As a solid-state joining process, friction stir welding has proven to be a better and promising technique for joining aluminium matrix composites. However, it is still subjected to various challenges to join aluminium matrix composites even with considerable progress has been made in recent years. The current review provides an overview of state-of-the-art of friction stir welding of aluminium matrix composite materials. Specific attention and critical assessment have been given to weldability, the macrostructure and microstructure of aluminium matrix composite joints, mechanical properties of joints, fractography, and the wear of friction stir welding tool during welding of aluminium matrix composite. Furthermore, the various existing challenges of friction stir welding of aluminium matrix composites are summarized and the recommendations for future research are proposed.

“…Electron beam welding (EBW) is a fusion welding process based on heat generated by a beam of high-energy electrons, so that edges of a workpiece are fused and joined forming a weld after solidification. EBW is often performed in vacuum conditions to prevent dissipation of the electron beam (Kalaiselvan et al, 2021). EBW is successful in welding of composites, especially SiCp/Al composites.…”
