Abstract

Materials development for changing aerospace industry has been the need of time. Composites (metal, ceramic and polymer) materials are proven better than any kind of materials for challenging atmosphere. Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) are widely used in aerospace applications for variety of accessories. Aluminium composites have good mechanical properties and so they form important materials for structural applications. Processing techniques have an important effect on the overall performance of the AMCs and are directly linked to their mechanical behaviour. This review summarizes the effect of processing techniques, types of reinforcement on the mechanical properties of AMCs.
