Abstract

Modern technology demands have raised the popularity of aluminum metal matrix composites (AMMCs) as it best suits diverse industrial applications. The need to develop an advanced functional material for specific applications attracts global researchers. Commercial needs for cost-effectiveness, quality improvement, superior performance and high strength to low weight ratio are met by composites. Mass production of AMMCs for specific industrial applications prefer stir casting as a simple and cost-effective manufacturing method. In addition, the production of composites turn more economic by reducing the weight percentage of ceramics and adding natural fibers either in the form of fibers, milled powder or ash to achieve the targeted properties. Process parameters being a dominating factor for minimal defect composites, their effect on final cast products are discussed along with strengthening mechanisms. This paper also discusses the applications, challenges and future scope of natural fiber reinforced AMMCs.
