Abstract

Abstract The usage of aluminium is constrained by its lower strength, lower stiffness and hardness. However, there is a need for the addition of reinforcements, either single or multiple which improves properties. Al-MMCs can be tailored to have superior properties such as high stiffness and higher specific strength, enhanced high temperature performance, lower thermal expansion co-efficient, and increased wear resistance. Due to this superior properties, AMMCs are used in automobile, aerospace and different structural engineering applications. This paper presents a review on the effect of single as well as multiple reinforcement addition on physical, mechanical and wear properties of aluminium based metal matrix composites.
