Abstract

Aluminum alloys with silicon, magnesium, and copper were extensively used alloying elements in various applications because of their excellent properties. In recent decades, aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) are an advanced engineering material widely utilized in diverse engineering applications, including aircraft, automobile, marine, and shipbuilding, owing to their low density, lightweight, good stiffness, superior strength, and good tribological properties. Aluminum is abundant and its use is as vast as the ocean. It is also the most used matrix material in the composite arena. Therefore, incorporating a ceramic particle into a relatively soft aluminum matrix improves hardness, strength, stiffness, creep, fatigue, and wear properties instead of the conventional materials. This article is an assay to review and spotlight some recent works on the mechanical behaviors of aluminum‐based titanium diboride reinforced metal matrix composite. This review article concentrates on the mechanical properties and the fabrication processes of Al‐TiB2 composites to provide a valuable reference to nurture future research precisely.

Summary

Introduction

In the past few decades, aluminum matrix composite has acted an essential role in material science, especially in aircraft, marine, automobile, transportation, and defense sectors [1]. Due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, high thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance, and improved mechanical properties, aluminum metal matrix composites (AMCs) are increasingly used as structural materials. Amid the other filler materials, titanium diboride (TiB2) is a promising candidate filler material for aluminum-based composites It exhibits an enticing combination of mechanical and physical properties, superior. Titanium diboride based aluminum matrix composites were recently employed in the manufacturing of automobile piston, vehicle drive shaft, cylinder liners, cutting tools, crank shaft, brake drum, and bicycle frames and were employed in aerospace, marine, and automotive industries because of their good stiffness, superior strength, high temperature stability, and lightweight [13]. Is scientific review article provides an aerial view of research efforts that are focused on mechanical properties and synthesizing techniques of aluminum-based titanium diboride composites.
