Mechanical and Wear Behaviour of Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites Reinforced with Dissipate Material-a Review

Aluminium alloys are important materials, and these are used in different Engineering sectors like automotive, Aerospace, Marine and Electronics. The Mechanical and tribological properties of Aluminium alloys are improved by the addition of commercial reinforcements Al2O3, SiC, TiC,SiO2, BN, B4C, MgO,ZrB2. The Manufacturing cost of these alloys increases due to commercial reinforcement. The Establishment of Industries increases and these are leaving the dissipate material to the environment, which causes environmental pollution. Now a days, researchers are interested to re-use the dissipate material as a reinforcement to the aluminium alloy, to develop new materials with improved properties and less manufacturing cost. In this paper, Mechanical and wear behaviour of Aluminium Metal matrix composites reinforced with different dissipate material are studied.
