| Summary: | Aluminium based metal matrix composite are being used for a variety of applications such as military, aerospace, electrical industries and automotive purposes due to their superior physical and mechanical properties. The addition of reinforcements into the metallic matrix improves the stiffness, specific strength, wear resistance, creep and fatigue properties compared to the conventional engineering materials. This paper presents the synopsis of the effect of different reinforcement materials in the aluminium alloy and highlights their merits and demerits. Major issues like reinforcement-matrix bonding, agglomerating phenomenon, and the problems related to distribution of particles are discussed in this paper. Effect of different reinforcement on AMCs on the mechanical properties like tensile strength, strain, hardness, wear and fatigue is also discussed in detail |
