Aluminum based Titanium carbide particulate reinforced metal matrix composite (Al-TiC PMMC) draws attention by many researchers & industries over alloy materials because of its excellent thermo-physical and mechanical characteristics. Despite of its superior properties of Al-TiC MMC, its complexity in manufacturing process and poor machinability has been the main deterrents to its application level. Controlling agglomeration of TiC particles is a challenging task to retain improved microstructure. The hard abrasive nature of carbide particles cause poor machinability and high machining cost. Therefore, in this paper an attempt has been made to study the various manufacturing techniques to achieve uniform distribution of TiC reinforcements in Al matrix.Further, the review follows the secondary manufacturing process of Al-TiC PMMC, which addressee’sthree topics: machining, forming & welding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
