Abstract

It is true that advancement in engineering and technology directly depends on the advancement of modified or new engineering materials. Now a day’s Composite materials are receiving remarkable attention by enhancing the desirable properties of monolithic materials. Some product design requires a material that has a combination of two or more desirable properties in one, such as strength, hardness, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, good thermal and electrical conductivity, castability, machinability, etc. Metal matrix composites can satisfy the functional requirements of a specific product by varying the weight ratio of the selected metal matrix, and reinforced particles. Currently, aluminum matrix composite has a wide application in the production of enhanced automotive, aerospace, medical, and other machinery spare parts. This review paper mainly focused on the aluminum metal matrix composite which contains silicon carbide particles as reinforcement. In this review paper, different properties like mechanical, chemical, and physical properties (thermal and electrical conductivity) of the aluminum matrix composite are discussed, besides various types of manufacturing techniques, process parameters, applications, and future research gaps were studied in detail. This review paper specifically studies the effect of silicon carbide particles (SiCp) reinforcement in the aluminum metal matrix and their related phenomenon.
