A future prospects and current scenario of aluminium metal matrix composites characteristics
Аннотация
This paper provides a synergistic review of the current scenario and future prospects of aluminum metal matrix composites (AMMCs). AMMCs are advanced materials that have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their unique characteristics, including high strength, low density, and excellent wear resistance. This review covers various aspects of AMMCs, including processing techniques, mechanical and physical properties, microstructural features, and applications. The review begins with an overview of different processing techniques for AMMCs, including stir casting, powder metallurgy, and infiltration methods. It then discusses the mechanical and physical properties of AMMCs, such as tensile strength, hardness, and thermal conductivity, and how these properties are influenced by various factors such as reinforcement type, size, and volume fraction. Furthermore, the microstructural features of AMMCs, including the distribution of reinforcements, are discussed in detail. The review also highlights the potential applications of AMMCs in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, and electronics. Finally, the review concludes by discussing the current scenario and future prospects of AMMCs. It highlights the challenges that need to be addressed to enhance the performance of AMMCs and the potential areas of research that could lead to the development of advanced AMMCs with superior properties. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the current status and future prospects of AMMCs and highlights the importance of continued research and development in this field.
