A Study of Improvement in Different Mechanical Properties for Aluminum Based Metal Matrix Composite

Abstract

Aluminium composites are a new generation of metal matrix composites who have the potentials of
satisfying the latest demands of advanced engineering applications. These demands are met because of better mechanical
properties, amenability for conventional processing technique and possibility of reducing cost of production for
aluminium composites.
Aluminium metal matrix composites are one of the most widely used materials for automobile, aerospace, electronics
industries, agriculture machinery and many other industrial applications because of their improved properties such as
high strength, low density, good wear resistance compared to any other metal. The addition of reinforcements into the
matrix improves many important properties like stiffness, specific strength, wear, creep and fatigue compared to the
other engineering materials. This paper shows the study of the different improvement in some of the important
mechanical properties than conventional materials.
