Abstract :

The requirement for aluminium (Al) metal matrix composites is a result of composites with advanced mechanical and wear properties and applications (MMCs).Metal matrix composites (MMCs) made of aluminium (Al) are currently thought to have the greatest strength for use in structural and functional applications. Aerospace, automotive, thermal management, and the military all use composite materials using aluminium matrices. Applications for advantageous properties have increased due to low cost. Al is reinforced with various metallic, non-metallic, and ceramic reinforcements to provide the desired physical and mechanical qualities, such as high hardness, high strength, high stiffness, and high wear, abrasion, and corrosion resistance. Wear plays a significant part in the production of pistons, connecting rods, engine cylinders, disc brakes, and drum brakes. Here, wear plays a significant influence in how well these components work since excessive wear of the mating components might occasionally result in catastrophic failures. Utilizing specific reinforcement materials like Flyash, Zirconia, Al2O3, Graphite and SiC allowed hybrid composites to have improved mechanical, particularly tribological, capabilities. Therefore, a study of aluminium metal matrix composites (MMCs) reinforced with various particles as reinforcements is presented in this paper, with an emphasis on how these reinforcements affect the MMCs' physical, mechanical, and wear behaviour.
