Abstract

Aggregate of more than one constituents (can be micro or macro) that diversify in form or chemical composition and are typically insoluble in each other, are called composite materials. In automobile industry, the metal-matrix composites have become a highly important materials due to its light weight and high strength properties. Different ceramic particles and solid lubricating materials were assimilated into aluminum metal-matrix to accomplish in both fatigue and wear resistance. Composites with aluminum matrix and non-metallic reinforcements are much familiar for extensive corrosion resistance, excellent machinability, wear resistance, fatigue strength, high thermal conductivity, etc. Reinforcement materials like particulate silicon carbide (SiC), graphite (Gr), molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂), titanium carbide (TiC), alumina fly ash etc., can easily be assimilated in the molten metal-matrix using low priced and widely available stir casting method. This paper presents a review on ramification of reinforcement on stir casting of aluminum metal-matrix composites (AlMMC) containing single and various reinforcements.

Keywords

Composite Material; Al 7075, Stir Casting, Wear Resistance, Fatigue Behavior, Fracture Resistance.
