In recent years, many alloys as well as composites of aluminium were developed for enhanced material performance. AA 6061 is an aluminium alloy that has extensive applications due to its superior material characteristics. It is a popular choice of matrix for aluminium matrix composite (AMC) fabrication. This study provides a review on AA 6061 aluminium alloy matrix composites produced through the stir-casting process. It focusses on conventional stir-casting fabrication, process parameters, various reinforcements used, and the mechanical properties of the AA 6061 composites. Several research studies indicated that the stir-casting method is widely used and suitable for fabricating AA 6061 composites with reinforcements such as SiC, B4C, Al2O3, TiC, as well as other inorganic, organic, hybrid, and nanomaterials. The majority of the studies showed that an increase in the reinforcement content enhanced the mechanical and tribological properties of the composites. Furthermore, hybrid composites showed better material properties than single reinforcement composites. The usage of industrial and agricultural residues in hybrid composites is also reported. Future studies could focus on the fabrication of AA 6061 nanocomposites through stir casting and their material characterisation, since they have great potential as advanced materials.

The use of metal matrix composites (MMCs) in a variety of products is significantly increasing with time due to the fact that their properties can be tailored and designed to suit specific applications. However, the future usage of MMC products is very much dependent on their beneficial aspects and hence it is critical to ensure in a robust repeatable manner the superior physical property advantages compared to conventional unreinforced monolithic metal counterparts. Although numerous routes are available for production of MMC products, each of them has their own advantages and disadvantages. This article provides an overview of advanced production routes for MMCs. The discussion also highlights challenges and presents a future prospectus for MMCs. Powder metallurgy and casting routes are still extensively used for production of MMCs. Aluminum alloys are today the most commonly used matrix materials in MMC products.Carbides (eg, SiC, TiC, and B 4 C), carbon allotropes (eg, CNTs and graphene), and alumina (Al 2 O 3) are currently the most used reinforcement materials. Nevertheless, the use of nano and of hybrid reinforcements are seeing increased usage in niche applications. Additive manufacturing (AM) is discussed as a novel production route for MMC products. This process represents a promising method for the production of MMC products.

“…[1] The composite which was fabricated by stir casting method possessed superior properties due to an effective bonding between matrix and reinforcement particles. Kandpal [6], The significant point of this present paper is to create MMC via activated charcoal powder (micron size) as a reinforcement into the metal matrix of titanium carbide to produce intermetallic of TiC in Al-Cu alloy matrix. Amouri et al [7], In this research, using stir casting process the composites of A356-nano SiC (0.5 and 1.5wt%) and A356-5wt% of micro SiC .Moses et al [8], In this study Stir casting was used to produce Al6061/15%TiC (mass fraction) Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs).…”

Aluminium is one of the most common metals in the world and its use is increasing day by day in many industries mostly in space industry and automobile industry because of its light weight and high strength capabilities. Aluminium-based alloys have great potential for cost saving application due to their light weight combine with high specific strength and corrosion resistance, as well as good castability. This paper mainly emphasis with the fabrication of Aluminium composites with SiC particles and jute ash particles. Hardness and tensile properties of the prepared Aluminium composite were determined before and after addition of SiC and Jute Ash particulates to find the extent in improvement of properties. SEM images have shown the grain boundaries formation. Results shows that the tensile strength is maximum in case of composite with SiC with value of 123MPA when compared to unreinforced 6061Al matrix with strength of 64MPa.
