“…The use of boron carbide (B 4 C) as reinforcement material in AMCs have been shown to exhibit remarkable tensile strength, wear resistance, high hardness, good structural rigidity and low density (Kumar & Rai, 2018;Kummari & Paramesh, 2019;Ravi, Balu, & Uday, 2016). For instance, Gomez, Busquets-Mataix, Amigo, and Salvador (2009) studied the mechanical and tribological properties of B 4 C reinforced aluminium alloy composites and compared with that of monolithic alloy and SiC reinforced.…”

“…Rising demand for structural components with increased service duration, improved in-service performance, high strength to weight ratio and affordable cost implications has led to the synthesis of new materials such as composites. Composites are formed by combining at least two different chemical materials with different interphase separating the constituents in a three-dimensional form to obtain improved properties which are different from those of the parent materials (Chin, Koav, Chan, Yeow, & Pang, 2020;Gupta & Srivastava, 2018;Kale, 2015;Kumar & Rai, 2018;Obande, Mamalis, Ray, Yang, & O'Bradaigh, 2019;Varvani-Farahani, 2010). The increased use of these materials is a function of their mechanical properties which in turn have enormous influence on the vastness of their areas of applications (Aweda, Orhadahwe, & Ohijeagbon, 2018;Hussain, Khan, & Sarmah, 2020;Kahlani & Jafarzadeh, 2020;Kim et al, 2020;Orhadahwe, Adeleke, Aweda, Ikubanni, & Jamiu, 2020;Veli ckovi c, Gari c, Stojanovi c, & Vencl, 2016).…”

In this paper, the primary synthesis and secondary treatment of Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) has been reviewed. The renewed quest for component materials with high strength-to-weight ratio, unusual and superlative combination of properties for applications in automotive, aerospace, marine and warfare armoury manufacturing industries has increased the versatility potential of aluminium alloy-based composites. Several categories (synthetic and agro-based ceramics) of reinforcement materials for aluminium composite are discussed. The manufacturing/fabrication techniques which could be solid phase (powder metallurgy and rapid prototyping or 3 D printing method) or liquid phase (casting and pressure infiltration) methods are discussed in this review work. Secondary treatment such as heat treatment, forging and other thermomechanical treatments which improves the properties of as-synthesized composites are also discussed. A review synopsis of recent studies provides opportunity for concise but a more robust understanding of potential benefits and detrimental effects associated with the use of various primary synthesis routes and secondary treatment for manufacturing of ceramic reinforced AMCs. Despite the laudable research efforts that have been made towards development and enhancement of the properties of AMCs, this review work revealed that literature is very sparse on synergetic adoption of multi-synthesis route and multi-approach secondary treatment for producing AMCs. Sequel to the aforementioned unexplored research concept, some lacunae are identified and suggested for further elaborations and study.

The present investigation has been initiated based on the wire electric discharge machining of Al7050/7.5 B4C stir cast metal matrix composite. Taguchi L9 orthogonal array has been used to analyses the concurrent effect pulse current (I p ), pulse-on time (T on ) and servo voltage (S v ) on material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness. From Taguchi analysis, it is observed that the optimal setting of process parameters for maximum MRR is I p 3T on 3S v 3, whereas for minimum surface roughness, the optimal configuration of process parameters is I p 3T on 2S v 1. The error estimated between predicted MRR and surface roughness with experimental MRR and Surface roughness at the optimal setting of process parameters is within ±5%. Analysis of variance shows that I p contributes maximum towards MRR and T on contributes maximum towards surface roughness.

The use of boron carbide-reinforced aluminium matrix composites has grown rapidly in critical applications of aerospace industries, automotive sectors, military, and nuclear engineering. However, boron carbide reinforcement within AA6061 alloy is worthy of investigation in terms of its mechanical and tribological properties. Novel aluminium matrix composites were developed with three different reinforcements (i.e. 5, 10, and 15 wt% of B 4 C) by using the stir casting process. The developed samples were then tested for performance in terms of mechanical properties (i.e. tensile strength, bending strength, impact strength, shear properties, and micro-hardness). The microstructure of the developed samples was analysed using a scanning electron microscope. By adding 5% B 4 C reinforcement, the samples display enhanced mechanical properties (high bending, increased resistance to impact test, and shear strength). The micro-hardness tends to increase by increasing the percentage of reinforcement. The novel composites have superior wear resistance due to an increase in the content of B 4 C particles. The measurements indicate that the wear rate resistance is significantly higher for the composite material with a large amount of B 4 C particles when was compared with AA6061 alloy. The patterns of surface analysis reveal a homogeneous distribution of ceramic reinforcements in 5 and 15 wt% of B 4 C samples, as well as a low agglomeration of embedded particles.
