A REVIEW ON PREDICTING THE FABRICATION OF ALUMINIUM METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES

Light and strong aluminium metal matrix compositesare widely used in aerospace,automobiles,farm machinery and many other industrial applications due to their low density and mechanical properties,better corrosion resistance,wear resistance low thermal co-efficient of expansion low density and high strength as compared between the conventional metals and alloys. Particular,particulate reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) have recently found special applications because of their specific strength specific stiffness at room or evaluated temperatures. It is proved that the elastic properties of metal matriccomposites are strongly influenced by micro structural parameters of the reinforcement such as shape, size, orientation, distribution and volume fraction. In thecurrent study deals that provide a literature review on the overall manufacturing techniques employed in the fabrication process.
