Behaviour of Al2O3 in aluminium matrix composites: An overview

Abstract

In this paper, behaviour of Al2O3 in aluminium matrix composites is reviewed for its properties and applications. In addition, many metal matrix composite fabrication processes are also elaborated. In the present days the aluminium metal matrix composite is in high demand because of its superior properties. Its demand is still on rise because of its widespread use in automotive industries, aerospace industries and marine industries. The method of the fabrication of aluminium matrix-based composite is also a deciding factor for its resultant properties. Desired composite-properties are achievable by proper selection of reinforcing materials as well as the physical conditions. Various sections of current information compile the details about the behaviour of alumina particles in aluminium-based matrix for formation of metal matrix composites.
