A Overview on Effect of Reinforcement and Process Parameters on Properties of Aluminium Based Metal Matrix Composite

Aluminum alloys are widely used in aerospace and automobile industries due to their low density and good mechanical properties, better corrosion resistance and wear resistance, low thermal coefficient of expansion as compared to conventional metals and alloys. The excellent mechanical properties of these materials and relatively low production cost males them a very attractive candidate for a variety of applications both from scientific and technological viewpoints. In this paper an attempt has been made to provide a literature review on the overall performance of reinforced composites fabricated by stir casting method and effect of process parameters on properties of Aluminium based MMC. The literature review framework in this paper provides a clear overview that the process parameters play important role for optimum properties of Aluminium based Metal Matrix Composites
