Aluminum alloy’s widely employed in transportation applications like: aerospace, aviation, marine and automobile
sector due to their good mechanical properties, wear properties, corrosion behavior and high strength to density ratio. The
current review article mainly highlights the effects of various reinforcements on mechanical and tribological properties of
aluminum based metal matrix composite materials and focuses on the types of different reinforcements. Review revealed that,
there is significant improvement in mechanical properties of AMMC’s with different reinforcements as compared to traditional
base alloys. The reinforcements may be SiC, TiO2
, Al2O3
, fly ash, B4C, fiber, Zircon are incorporated in the stir casting or other
methods.
