A REVIEW ON ADVANCED HYBRID METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES REINFORCED WITH NANO PARTICLES

Advanced Hybrid Metal-matrix-composites (MMCs) reinforced with nanoparticles are extremely encouraging material, properly designed for high-specific-strength required circumstance. These composites comprise of a metallic network reinforced by various nano-particles highlighting both mechanical and physical properties very dissimilar when compared with composed materials. The nanoparticles can increase matrix material in tribologal, mechanical and damping properties. Various types of metals, widely Al, Ti, Cu and Mg, are utilized to create a composites fortified with nanoparticles, for example, oxides, carbides and nitrides. The principle concern of worry is a union of matrix with reinforcement consists of low wettability in the fortification stage with liquid metal; it does not permit the union by means of traditional casting techniques. A few unconventional methods presented in this work for production of metal matrix Nano composites. In addition, the strengtheningmechanisms liable to increase of required properties of MMCs are reviewed. The fundamental promising uses of this latest category of materials are taken into consideration.
