Abstract:

Nowadays, the usage of metal matrix composites is increased in aero space, automotive, marine, electronic and manufacturing industries. Aluminum metal matrix composites have attained significant attention due to their good mechanical properties like strength, stiffness, abrasion and impact resistant, corrosion resistance. When compared to the conventional materials Aluminum Silicon Carbide (AlSiC) hybrid materials available in minimum cost. In the present study, based on the literature review, the individual Silicon Carbide with aluminum and combined influence of Silicon Carbide with graphite reinforcements Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites and Silicon Carbide with mica reinforcement Aluminum is studied. The monolithic composite materials are combined in different compositions by stir casting fabrication techniques, to produce composite materials. The literature review framework in this paper provides a clear overview of the usage of Graphite and Mica as a reinforcing agent in different composition matrices along with its distinctive performances.
