Analysis on Aluminium Hybrid Metal Matrix Composite Reinforced with Hfc, Si3n4 and Mos2 Nanoparticles

The conventional materials are replacing with the aluminium hybrid metal matrix composite because of its superior tribological and mechanical properties. In engineering applications like aerospace, military, defence, automobile and marine aluminium metal matrix composite has a significant role to play. The aluminium metal is also being reinforced with HfC, Si3N4, MoS2 to enhance the fatigue strength, creep, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, impact strength, damping properties and heat resistance capability. The main focus of this article is to review and summarize various techniques available for fabrication of AMCs, to study the influence of HfC, Si3N4, MoS2 on aluminium material properties. The review indicates that the reinforcement of HfC, Si3N4, MoS2 particles have improved the mechanical behaviour (Hardness, tensile strength and Compressive strength), tribological Behaviour and corrosion behaviour of the aluminium metal matrix composite.
