Novelty and Applications of MMCs with Aluminium Metal Base Using Stir Casting Technique - A Review

Abstract:

In the fields of automobile unto aviation, the extensive applied metal in many optimized output conditions is Aluminium and its based metal matrix composites, which are now-a-days, are called as Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs). These AMCs are as potential as they processed very much able in their mechanical and physical properties viz., tensile strength, strain, hardness, wear and fatigue. In this review, the properties which are essentially vital in attaining such improved performance in particular applications are discussed along with the special methodologies and their limitations in brief. Hence, the effective factors which are the cause for their output, like, type of reinforcement, amount of reinforcement, size of particulate of reinforcement, temperature and pressure etc., were also scrutinized retrospectively.
