Manufacturing processes & recent applications of aluminium metal matrix composite materials: A review

Composite Materials are formed by two or more distinct metals to achieve the superior physical and mechanical properties to enhance the modern engineering applications and industrial needs. These needs can be archived by the Metal Matrix Composites. This also satisfies the consumers' demands like lightweight material, low cost-effective, less production cost, higher flexibility with major strength. Now a days the Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites are widely used and also newer developments are made to get light-weight, high strength, high stiffness and the required properties. This paper gives the overview discussion about the manufacturing of Aluminium Metal Matrix Composite, manufacturing processes with related advantages and limitations, properties of various Aluminium Composition with its reinforcement and at last the various applications in different areas.
