“…Due to numerous advantages such as castability, high toughness, and corrosion resistance, aluminium alloy and its MMCs have a wide range of applications in various engineering sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and marine industries, among others [1][2][3]. Much research has been carried out on developing MMCs using various reinforcements such as SiC, Al 2 O 3 , CNTs, and graphene [4][5][6][7][8].…”

The effect of extrusion ratio and addition of glass and fly ash on microstructural, mechanical properties, and fracture behavior of Al composites is examined. Both the composites and hybrid composites are prepared by the liquid metallurgical technique. Microstructure, extrusion effect on hardness, tensile properties, and fracture are studied using an optical micrograph, hardness tester, Universal Testing Machine, and scanning electron microscope, respectively. Experimental results show that increasing the extrusion ratio leads to a significant enhancement in mechanical properties such as tensile, compression, and yield strength and Young’s modulus, but results in a small reduction of ductility. It has been revealed that the presence of glass and fly ash improve the mechanical properties significantly with a slight reduction in ductility compared to the Al alloy. Fracture behaviour of the base alloy and composites show intergranular ductile and brittle cleavage mode failure as observed by SEM.

“…Recently, more authors have extended their research to other particles or alternative reinforcement methodologies. Frequently these include multi-sized reinforcement [144][145][146], in which two different magnitude-sized particles of the same compound are incorporated, or hybrid reinforcement [146][147][148][149][150][151], in which two chemically distinct particles are introduced.…”

Ongoing industrial demand for lightweight materials has spiked the research interest in aluminium-based metal matrix composites for its specific properties. The amount of scientific publication available on the matter has led to the vast production of knowledge, which highlights the need for a systematic assessment if further progress is expected. In this paper, a systematic review of the published literature is conducted, according to the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, on the Scopus and Web of Science databases were used in the literature search, which was completed on the 29 August 2020. The data of the research work is structured in the particle pre-processing stage and the melt processing stage. The present review clarifies the combined pair-wise effect of particles and the melt treatment performed on their wettability or dispersive or de-agglomerative capability, which allows to achieve their final mechanical properties.

“…For MMCs, selecting the cost-effective processing route (liquid state processing: casting processes, powder metallurgical: pressing, sintering, extrusion, forging, or joining) to fabricate parts with enhanced properties is of industrial relevance [9]. The properties of MMCs are more sensitive to morphology, type and size of reinforcements, and method of fabrication [10][11][12][13]. Extruded parts (Aluminium and Magnesium-based composites) resulted in high tensile strength and refined microstructure properties compared to casted components [14,15].…”

The stringent demand to develop lightweight materials with enhanced properties suitable for various engineering applications is the focus of this research work. Industrial wastes such as fly ash (FA) and S-glass-fibres (GF) were used as reinforcement materials for high-strength alloy, i.e., Al 7005. Stir casting routes were employed for fabricating the four samples, Al 7005, Al 7005 + 5% GF, Al 7005 + 6% FA and Al 7005 + 5% GF + 6% FA. The extrusion process with different extrusion ratios (ER: 5.32:1, and 2.66:1) was used to examine the properties of all four samples. Extruded samples with ER: 5.32: 1 resulted in equiaxed grains with refined structure compared to stir casting parts. The effect of the extrusion process and the addition of reinforcements (GF and FA) on the gravimetric, electrochemical, and electrochemical impedance corrosion behaviour of Al 7005 composites in 1M HCl (Hydrochloric acid) solution were investigated. The results of all three corrosion methods showed that Al 7005 + 6% FA exhibited higher corrosion resistance. Corrosion rate of Al 7005, Al 7005 + 5% GF, Al 7005 + 6% FA and Al 7005 + 5% GF + 6% FA is found equal to 3.25, 2.41, 0.34, and 0.76 mpy, respectively. The FA particles remain inert and act as a physical barrier with corrosive media during the corrosion test. GF undergoes fibre degradation or disrupts the continuity of the glass network as a result of fibre leaching, which increases the corrosion rate in the sample. The gravimetric study showed that the corrosion rates decreased with an increase in extrusion ratio, which might be due to corrosion passivation increases and improved properties. The scanning electron microscopy reveals that corrosion fits, flakes and micro-cracks were observed more in the as-cast composites than that of extrusion composites, promoting the corrosion rate.
