Sintering sensitivity of aluminium metal matrix composites developed through powder metallurgy proposed technique-a review

Abstract

Abstract This paper interprets the effect of sintering parameters like sintering time and sintering temperature as well as various sintering methods on distinct properties of the material. The variation of Physical, mechanical, and Tribological behaviour depending on sintering temperature, time and method based on various aluminium metal matrix composites have been investigated. The advantages of aluminium metal matrix composites are high strength to weight ratio, high wear resistance, and erosion resistance, etc. Aluminium Metal matrix composites have vast applications in various fields like structural, automobile, and aviation industries. The optimum value of sintering parameters and choice of sintering methods has a major role in getting these required properties of aluminium metal matrix composites prepared by the powder metallurgy process.
