A Review Paper on Stir Casting of Reinforced Aluminium Metal MatrixComposite (MMC)

Abstract

This paper deals about the importance of composites as engineering materials which is reflected by the fact that most\nof the materials which are available in the market are composites. These composites replaced cast iron and bronze\nalloys due to their poor wear and seizure resistance. Due to the wide choice of materials, today s engineers are posed\nwith a big challenge for the right selection of a material and the right selection of a manufacturing process for an\napplication. There are more than 50,000 materials available to engineers for the design and manufacturing of\nproducts for various applications. In the present study, based on literature review, the effect of Boron Carbide particle\nreinforcements are finding increased applications in aerospace, automobile, space, underwater and transportation\napplications. This is mainly due to improved mechanical and tribological properties like strong, stiff abrasion and\nimpact resistant and it is not easily corroded. In a review of different researchers have been made to consolidate some\nof the aspects of mechanical and wear behaviour of Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites reinforced with Boron\nCarbide particles.
