Composite materials with aluminium matrices are used in thermal management, defence, aerospace, automotive and aviation. As the prices of useful items decreased, their usefulness increased. Aluminium is reinforced with other metals, non-metals and ceramics to give it the required physical and mechanical properties such as high tensile strength, great hardness and corrosion resistance. Aluminium-metal matrix composites are known for their exceptional physical and mechanical properties and performance. This work also focuses on the fabrication and characterization of zirconium diboride reinforced aluminium-metal matrix composite. Zirconium diboride particles were used as reinforcement material to fabricate aluminium metal matrix composites by the stir casting method. The microstructure, hardness and tensile strength of aluminum-metal matrix composites and its corrosion behaviour were investigated. The results showed that the inclusion of zirconium diboride particles increased the hardness and tensile strength of aluminum-metal matrix composites. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction analysis are used to investigate the microstructural properties of aluminum-metal matrix composites reinforced with zirconium diboride particles. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images showed a uniform distribution of zirconium diboride particles in the aluminum-metal matrix composites matrix. X-ray diffraction analysis showed the formation of an intermetallic compound of aluminium and zirconium diboride. From the review that have been made, we can conclude that the inclusion of zirconium diboride particles increased the mechanical properties and corrosion of aluminium-metal matrix composites.
