“…When 30 gram iron titanium and 2.5 % & 7 weight percentage silicon carbide were reinforced with aluminum 5083 to investigate the various mechanical properties. Results revealed uniform dispersion of reinforcement and improvement in hardness and tensile strength at 7 weight percent of silicon carbide [11]. Fluidity increases with the increase of the percentage of silicon carbide in the case of silicon carbide reinforced (5 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 weight percentage) aluminium based metal matrix composites.…”

In the present investigation, an aluminum 7075 based hybrid metal matrix composite has been prepared by utilizing the primary reinforcement element (boron carbide with 9 %, 7 %, 5 %, 3 %, and 1 % weight percentage) and secondary reinforcement particles (silicon carbide with 1 %, 3 %, 5 %, 7 %, and 9 % weight percentage) through the well‐known stir‐casting method. Further, the tensile, hardness and Charpy impact tests were performed on the prepared composite material for mechanical properties evaluation. In addition, an attempt has also been performed to analyze the effect of reinforcement weight percentages (primary and secondary) on the strength coefficient, strain hardening rate and strain hardening exponent of the prepared composite material compositions. The results revealed that sample 1 (aluminum 7075/9 weight percentage boron carbide/1 weight percentage silicon carbide) exhibited the maximum 14.12 percent, 14.25 percent and 19.56 percentage increase in hardness, ultimate tensile strength and yield strength respectively than the matrix material. The strain hardening exponent has been increased with the increase in the weight percentage of silicon carbide. Further, the value of the strength coefficient was decreased with the increase in the weight percentage of boron carbide particles. In addition, stage III hardening was associated with the all developed composite material compositions.

“…The dog-bone shaped and straight side form with end tabs are the most common geometries used. In this research all the specimens are of dog-bone shaped dimension (159 mm × 18 mm × 2 mm) as per ASTM D638 standard [9,10]. The experiment is carried out using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) from the manufacturer (Fuel Instruments & Engineers Pvt., Ltd., India, Model UTN40).…”

In this research study, the mechanical properties of several Polymer matrix composites are investigated. These composites are multi-phase materials in which reinforcing materials are properly mixed with a polymer matrix. More precisely, Nylon 6 reinforced with 5, 15 and 25 wt. % of silicon carbide (SiC) and Nylon 6 reinforced with 5, 15 and 25 wt. % of boron carbide (B 4 C), prepared by means of an injection moulding process at three different injection pressures are considered. Specific attention is paid to the tensile and impact strength of these composites. The Taguchi technique is used to optimize the process parameters such as reinforcement material, its percentage and the injection pressure. It is observed that the specimens 5% SiC with 80 MPa injection pressure display a better tensile strength and similarly the specimen 5% B 4 C with 90 MPa injection pressure have a superior impact strength.

“…CMCs are further classified into composite materials and ceramics. A classic reinforcing fibre material comprises materials such as carbon, SiC, Al 2 O 3 and alumina silica [20,21]. A CMC with continuous fibre reinforcement offers superior strengthening and toughness results, significantly slowing down crack propagation compared to whiskers or short fibres [22].…”

Aluminium-based composites are extensively employed for high-performance applications in the automotive and aircraft industries on the basis of their superior mechanical characteristics comprising light weight, high specific strength and excellent malleability. Different metals and alloys are fabricated as composites using various combinations of materials with various fabrication methods. The current article explores a detailed overview of the methodologies, including solid, semi-solid, liquid and vapour routes, adopted by many researchers for the synthesis of reinforced aluminium-based materials. The influence of reinforcement in terms of natural resources and industrial waste considered recently is briefly discussed. Based on the literature review, research work has also focused on exploring the most economical and frequently employed synthesis methods for the fabrication of aluminium matrix composites.
