“…Recent investigations have revealed that a variety of natural fiber products can be used in advanced engineering applications. Coyal et al fabricated cost-effective AMMCs with SiC and jute ash particles with enhanced properties via stir casting routes [144]. The wear behavior was investigated using a pin-on-disc tribometer, and it was discovered that adding reinforcement particles increases wear resistance.…”

The growing demand for composite materials with improved properties is attracting a lot of attention from industries such as automotive, aerospace, military, aviation, and other manufacturing. Aluminium metal matrix composites (AMMCs), with various reinforcements such as continuous/discontinuous fibers, whiskers, and particulates, have captured the attention due to their superior tribological, mechanical, and microstructural characteristics as compared to bare Al alloy. AMMCs have undergone extensive research and development with different reinforcements in order to obtain the materials with the desired characteristics. In this paper, we present a review on AMMCs produced through stir casting routes. This review focuses on the following aspects: (i) different reinforcing materials in AMMCs; (ii) microstructural study of reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) through stir casting. Both reinforcing micro- and nanoparticles are focused. Micro- and nanoreinforced AMMCs have the attractive properties of combination such asthe low-weight-to-high-strength rati and, low density; (iii) various tribological and mechanical properties with the consideration of different input parameters; (iv) outlook and perspective.

This research focuses on the use of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for the prediction of the microhardness of friction stir processed aluminium based metal matrix composite (AA6061+Al2O3). Different specimens were obtained by using rotating speeds of 1100, 1210, 1320 and 1430 rpm and travelling speeds of 36, 48, 60, 72 mm/min. The microhardness value (HV) of the processed surface of each of the samples was measured and the data collected from the specimens was used as learning data for ANN. Higher rotational speed and lower transversal speeds resulted in higher hardness value since processing at higher tool rotational speed causes high material flow and good resistance to the tool pin profile. A uniform increase in microhardness was observed up to 1320 RPM and a subsequent decrease on any further increments of tool rotational speed. Subsequently, the highest values of microhardness were observed with a square mandrel at 1320 RPM and 36 mm/min. The calculated results were satisfactorily compliant with the measured data and the ANN model was successful in predicting the microhardness.

“…The matrix is brought to a semi-liquid state, and the reinforcement is injected in the presence of argon gas. 25 After preheating TiB 2 at 250°C for 2 h, the reinforcement was transferred into liquid melt slowly. The mixture is stirred for 15 min at 350 rpm using a titanium stirrer for uniform dispersions.…”

Aluminum metal matrix composites are a new class of materials that have gathered more attention from many materialists. Especially, the automotive components like a piston, cylinder block, brake drum, etc., fabricated by different reinforcement, which has exposed better performance over conventional engineering materials. Aluminum composites are generally fabricated by stir casting technique due to simplicity in operation and adaptive to mass or job order production. The paper provides a background for the readers interested in the production of metal matrix composites through stir casting. Based on the literature assessment, the special attentions taken by the researchers to enhance the uniform distribution of particle to avoid agglomeration are discussed. The composite performances mainly depend on the aluminum matrix, particle size, the quantity of reinforcement, preheating temperature of reinforcement, and processing parameters such as stirring speed, stirring time, and wetting agents. The selection of two reinforcements and their suitable parameters for wetting are attaining interest by many researchers and maybe opted as future scope.
