Abstract

Abstract: Aluminum alloy’s widely employed in transportation applications like: aerospace, aviation, marine and automobile sector due to their good mechanical properties, wear properties, corrosion behavior and high strength to density ratio. The current review article mainly highlights the effects of various reinforcements on mechanical and tribological properties of aluminum based metal matrix composite materials and focuses on the types of different reinforcements. Review revealed that, there is significant improvement in mechanical properties of AMMC’s with different reinforcements as compared to traditional base alloys. The reinforcements may be SiC, TiO2 , Al2O3 , fly ash, B4C, fiber, Zircon are incorporated in the stir casting or other methods. Keywords: AMMC, Reinforcements, Mechanical properties, Stir casting etc.
