‘The micro/nano reinforced particle’ aluminum metal matrix composites (Al-MMCs) are widely used in manufacturing sector due to light-weight, superior strength-to-weight ratio, better fracture toughness, improved fatigue, and tensile property, enhanced corrosion resistance to harsh environment, etc. This article provides an overview of the manufacturing processes and different reinforcing elements used during the synthesis of Al-MMCs. Generally, the reinforced particles like carbides, nitrides, and compounds of oxides are used. Different organic, inorganic, industrial and agricultural waste which can be used for reinforcement in the aluminum matrix is highlighted with their feasible applications. The common mechanical properties (i.e. hardness, tensile and compressive strength, etc.) reported by different researchers are thoroughly discussed with the aim to highlight the amount of reinforcement and improvement occurred during processing. The formation and methodology for mixing condition and sintering behaviour of Al-MMCs are discussed to impart knowledge about the processing circumstances in powder metallurgical route. The affecting conditions during operating and responsible factor for the tribological behaviour are deliberated in a precise manner to recognize the potentiality of reinforcing particles in Al-MMCs. Finally, the different shortcomings and future prospects of the Al-MMCs are given to encourage the future research directions.

“…AMCs grabbed the attention of aircraft, automotive and other industries owing to their superior properties such as high specific strength, high elastic modulus, excellent friction and wear resistance, low thermal expansion coefficients, etc. [1][2][3]. AMCs are favored over conventional aluminum alloys in many applications due to its enhanced performance.…”

Stir casting is an economical method to produce aluminum matrix composites. In the present work, composites of aluminum alloy AA6061 reinforced with various amounts (0, 5, 10 and 15 wt.%) of TiC particles were prepared by stir casting technique. X-ray diffraction patterns of the prepared composites clearly revealed the incorporation of TiC particles without the presence of any other compounds. The microstructures of the composites were studied using optical and scanning electron microscopy. It was observed that the TiC particles distributed all over the composite and properly bonded to the matrix alloy. Local clusters of TiC particles were also seen in a few places. The result shows that the reinforcement of TiC particles enhances the microhardness, ultimate tensile strength and wear resistance of the composite. The details of fracture morphology, worn surface, and wear debris are also presented in this paper. K e y w o r d s : metal matrix composites, stir casting, microstructure, mechanical properties

“…However, the number of variables that can be presented in the real physical scenario is more complex. For example, as shown in Figure 1 b, the microparticles could be located at the intersections of grains, or, as shown in Figure 1 c, variable sizes and shapes of microparticles could create shorter or larger distances between each other, thus modifying the wear resistance or some other mechanical requirement [ 31 , 32 ]. Up to this point in our research, we have focused only on the analysis of a single microparticle and its stress distribution when subjected to a contraction process caused by changes in temperature.…”

“…Oxide particles, such as Al 2 MgO 4 , Al 2 O 3 , MgO, and SiO 2 , observed in aluminum alloys are extremely hard concerning the matrix and their treatment represent a complex technological challenge [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. The addition of microparticles in metals, combined with proper thermomechanical treatment, can be used to increase the mechanical properties in a beneficial sense [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ].…”

One important challenge that faces the metallurgic industry turns around the constant increment in the mechanical resistance of certain finished products. Metallurgic advantages can be obtained from the inclusion of microparticles in metallic materials, but this inclusion involves complex challenges as the internal stress distribution can be modified. In this work, the simulation of a cooling sequence in 7075 aluminum with a SiO2 microparticle is presented. Two models of two-dimensional (2D) type were constructed in ANSYS®2019 with circular and oval shape microparticles located inside the aluminum. Both models were subjected to the same thermomechanical transient analysis to compare the remaining stress distributions around the microparticles after the thermal load and to observe the effect of the geometrical shape. The results show remaining stresses increased in the oval model as a consequence of the geometrical shape modification. After applying a tension load in the analyzed specimens, shear stress concentrations were observed with a higher magnitude around the covertex of the oval shape. The results can be very useful for the creation of materials with controlled remnant stress located in specific or desired locations in the matrix.
