“…Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) have superior properties compared to monolithic materials and can be tailored for specific applications. In the past two decades, AMCs were developed for numerous engineering applications, especially in automobile and aerospace industries because of their high wear resistance, light weight and enhanced mechanical properties (Sharma et al, 2020;Dwivedi and Dwivedi, 2020;Rahul and Sharmila, 2019;Sijo et al, 2018;Kumar and Menghani, 2016). The potential uses of these materials are numerous such as brake discs, cylinder heads, piston liners, cylinder blocks and cams in automobile industries (Satyanarayana et al, 2019;Canute and Majumder, 2018;Ghandvar et al, 2017;Karamıs et al, 2012) and ventral fins, fuel access doors of F-16 military aircraft and rotor blade sleeve of helicopters (Mouritz, 2012) .…”
