Abstract

The present chapter deals with Al-TiB2 metal matrix composites (MMCs). MMCs are already proved for their superior mechanical properties and tribological behavior when compared with monolithic metal alloys which actually made MMCs suitable for versatile range of applications. Accordingly, mass market products of composite materials are increasing progressively and area of applications are spreading day by day. From solid-to-liquid processing, there are several methods through which reinforcing phases have been incorporated into the metallic phase. A discussion regarding tribological and corrosion behavior of Al–TiB2 composites based on existing literature has been introduced in this chapter. It can be said from overall discussion that Al–TiB2 composites perform very well in tribological aspects. To talk about corrosion resistance, definitely some new approaches should be taken to make it better.
