Abstract An increased interest is observed in recent years in the processing of aluminum metal matrix composites (AMMCs) due to their remarkable properties such as light in weight, very high strength, environmental resistance, corrosion resistance, and low thermal coefficient of expansion compared to conventional metal and alloys. This leads to superior compressive strength, for fuel cell applications, low density and low cost for automotive and small engine applications. Homogeneous distribution of the reinforcement phase in turns improves hardness and ultimate tensile strength for lightweight applications, especially aeronautical and high-speed train industries. Uniform distribution of reinforcement directly influences properties and quality of the composite material. And develop a conventional low-cost method of producing metal matrix composites to obtain a homogenous dispersion of reinforcing materials. In this review article, processing and characterization of aluminum metal matrix composites have been reviewed. The Point of convergence is given to the new fabrication techniques, their physical and mechanical characterization. Substantially this review article censoriously reviews the present and past state of understanding of the processing of aluminum metal matrix composites with different reinforcement. The resulting failure mechanisms are discussed. Instructions are given to clarify open questions related to the fabrications of aluminum metal matrix composites.

Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites

Aluminum metal matrix composites with various reinforcements had pronounced prospective of meeting the criteria of recent engineering applications like aerospace, automobile, breakpads, sports, this is due to their enhancement of some mechanical properties by some addition of matrix in to decide material. The present study focuses on the fabrication of 6351 aluminum MMC hybrid composites reinforced with silicon carbide and graphite powder, followed by a wear test for characterization of the material. Although several methods are available for the fabrication of Al-Sic MMC, we have employed stir casting technique due to its simplicity and economical. In this work aluminum metal matrix composites reinforced with different weight fractions of 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% graphite and silicon carbide in equal proportion characteristics were compared with Al6351 alloy. It is found that the wear properties have been improved with increase in weight fraction of the reinforcements of silicon carbide and graphite in aluminum matrix
