Abstract
Aluminium alloys are popular in many advanced applications and are considered to be an essential class of engineering materials mainly due to their desirable combination of low density, high strength, and cost-effectiveness compared to competing materials. Aluminium metal matrix composites and hybrid metal matrix composites will further enhance these properties by incorporating hardened particles as reinforcements. Hybrid metal matrix composites are second-generation composites that exhibit superior mechanical properties due to the synergistic combination of different reinforcement combinations. Various combinations of reinforcing particulates are being explored. The fabrication of the hybrid composites is done using a stir casting route, which will significantly influence the mechanical properties, microstructure and reinforcement distribution. Aluminium HMMCs offer lightweight, high strength, good wear resistance, and other properties that allow them to be extensively used in the structural, aerospace, marine, and automotive industries. Hybridization of metal alloys provides flexibility in designing components and quality control during manufacturing. Thus, this review paper is focused on the fabrication and characterization of hybrid Aluminium metal matrix composites, advancements in their mechanical properties, recent developments and applications.
