Literature Review on Mechanical Properties and Behavior of Aluminum Metal Matrix Composite Material with Different Processes

Abstract

This literature review studies the development, characterization, and applications of Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites (AMMCs). Focusing on different types of reinforcement materials with their processing techniques, mechanical properties, and performance in various applications. Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites (AMMCs) have garnered significant attention due to their superior mechanical properties, including lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent wear properties. These composites consist of aluminum alloys as the matrix material, reinforced with various ceramic particles. Reinforcements such as silicon carbide (SiC), iron oxide (Fe₃O₄), boron carbide (B4C), alumina (Al₂O₃), and graphite have been extensively studied to enhance the properties of aluminum alloys.
