Aluminium metal matrix composites and effect of reinforcements – A Review

Abstract

Abstract A composite is a fusion of two or more different material chemically and unsolvable phases; its properties and structural concert are greater the ingredients performing homogeneous phases. ceramics and Metals, as well, can be implanted with particles, to advances their property; these mixtures are known as MMCs. Aluminum alloy compose a significant engineering material generally engaged in the aerospace industries for the production of dissimilar parts and equipments. It is due to its more strength to density fraction that it a sought after MMCs. A variety of processing technique and mechanical properties testing’s available for manufacturing the Aluminium matrix composites. The mutual reinforcement’s effect on Aluminium Metal Matrix composites with individual and multiple particulate reinforcements like Hybrid Metal matrix composites are finding better applications in aerospace industries, automobile industries, underwater, and transportation. In the current situation, a bunch of research activities were on pipe line. This review particularly directs the engineers and researchers towards right reinforcement materials selection especially hybrid composites by their properties in the appropriate field and diverse technique involved in production of metal matrix composites.
