Effect of Particulate Reinforced Aluminium Metal Matrix Composite – A Review

The combined effect of reinforcements on Aluminium Metal Matrix composites with individual and multiple particulate reinforcements like Hybrid Metal matrix composites are finding increased applications in aerospace, automobile, space, underwater, and transportation applications. This is mainly due to improved mechanical and tribological properties like strength, stiffness, abrasion, impact resistance and wear resistance. In the present scenario, a lot of research activities were on pipe line. This paper guides the researchers and engineers towards proper selection of materials by their properties in the relevant field and different techniques involved in manufacturing of metal matrix composites, particularly on the liquid state metal processing technique.
