“…The authors [36] observed limitations to this approach, including void creation following particle penetration into reinforced metals. High volume percentages of particles and temperature expansion variations between the matrix and reinforcement both contribute to the formation of voids [37].…”

Aluminum Alloy (AA) parts are employed in lightweight engineering fields and have poor mechanical, wear, and corrosion resistance. Aluminum Matrix Composites (AMCs) are materials created by incorporating hard reinforcing particles into an aluminum matrix alloy. The new material has improved characteristics, including higher specific stiffness and strength, as well as higher corrosion resistance, elastic modulus, wear resistance, and low weight. Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) are composite materials in which metal serves as the matrix and hard particles or ceramics serve as reinforcement. MMCs are used to improve the functionality of a wide range of technical materials. It could be used in many different fields, including aerospace, automotive, space travel, and medicine. In this paper, the reviewer investigates the distribution of reinforcement and Tensile Strength (TS) of Aluminum Lithium (Al-Li) Alloy/Nano Al2O3 MMC fabricated by stir casting. Finally, the authors provide a comparative analysis of prior reviewed research papers. After comparative analysis, TiB2/2195 composite has higher Tensile Strength (115.4%) than the other composite such as AA7010-TiB2 (260%), Al2O3 + SiC (72%), A356/SiC (21.87%), and Al-SiC (37%).

“…In the present, MMCs are the best alternative to the conventional materials [36] and are preferred over the metals, non-metals, and alloys [37], replacing them in an exponential way in different industries (aerospace, automobile, defence, etc.) because of their superior mechanical properties and lesser cost to make them [38,39]. These materials play an important role in today's necessity of higher production and productivity in manufacturing, while having lower cost increases and reconciles these needs with environmental preservation by reducing the energy consumption, waste generation, and raw material consumption [40].…”

Environmental awareness and the necessary reduction in costs in industrial processes has facilitated the development of novel techniques such as Additive Manufacturing, decreasing the amount of raw materials and energy needed. The longing for improved materials with different and enhanced properties has resulted in research efforts in the Metal Matrix Composites field. These two novelties combined minimise environmental impacts and costs without compromising technical properties. Two technologies can feed Additive Manufacturing techniques with metallic powder: Gas Atomization and High Energy Ball Milling. This study provides a comparative Life Cycle Assessment of these technologies to produce one kilogram of metallic powder for the Directed Energy Deposition technique: a Ti6Al4V alloy, and a Ti6Al4V-TiC Metal–Matrix Composite, respectively. The LCA methodology is according to ISO 14040:2006, and large amounts of information on the use of raw materials, energy consumption, and environmental impacts is provided. Different impact categories following the Environmental Footprint methodology were analysed, showing a big difference between both technologies, with an 87.8% reduction of kg CO2 eq. emitted by High Energy Ball Milling in comparison with Gas Atomization. In addition, an economic analysis was performed, addressing the viability perspective and decision making and showing a 17.2% cost reduction in the conventional process.

“…2 However, the synthesis processes through which the materials pass significantly affect the final property of the composite material. 3 Furthermore, according to researchers the property of a metal matrix composite with the same composition but synthesized through different predominant processes such as; stir casting and powder metallurgy possessed different property. 4,5 Magnesium matrix is preferred by most researchers for the manufacturing of metal matrix composite due to its attractive less density and wettability property.…”

“…7 Magnesium matrix composite is alternatively preferable than aluminum matrix composite due to it has less density and high strength to weight ratio in addition to its wettability property. 8 Magnesium alloy (AZ61) is one of the most important materials for reduction of density as low as 1.8 g/ cm 3 and improvement of specific strength of the product when mixed with reinforcements. In addition to that, AZ61 contains Aluminum and Zinc with higher percentage 6.4% and 0.74% respectively as shown in Table 1.…”

Nowadays metal matrix composite materials are preferable in automotive and aerospace industries due to their mechanical properties and essentially attractive strength to weight ratios. However, their availability in use is limited because of their manufacturing method difficulty and process extravagancy. The aim of this research was to fabricate metal matrix hybrid composite through a novel approach thermo-mechanical method called friction stir consolidation (FSC) process. XRD result witnessed the presence of SiC, ZrO2, and AZ61 alloy phases. Different compositions of AZ61, SiC, and ZrO2 powder were taken into consideration and the progression of the FSC process were examined through properties of compressive strength, hardness, density, and porosity. For instance, the compressive yield strength of composition 85%Vol. of AZ61, 10%Vol. of ZrO2, and 5%Vol. of SiC accounts 164.2 MPa with an acceptable 2.2451 g/cm3 and 0.593% density and porosity respectively. However, when the strength to weight ratio was taken into consideration, 95%Vol. of AZ61, 2.5%Vol. of ZrO2, and 2.5%Vol. of SiC composition attained highest strength to weight ratio value. Additionally, the compressive yield strength value increased directly proportional with the ZrO2 volumetric composition. Likewise, the fractured surface of sample acquired highest strength to weight ratio was examined through SEM Fractography analysis.
