Tribological study on hybrid metal matrix composites for application in automotive sector

Dry sliding wear response of aluminium matrix composites (AMCs): a critical review

“…Depending on the nature of the constituents used (i.e., matrix and reinforcement) [6], composite materials can be categorized. In the recent few years, considering the reports that were made regarding tough air pollution regulations and increased demands by consumers for improved and complex automobile interiors with electronic parts and multimedia gadgets imposing extra overall weight, the need for lightweight materials for the production of various automobile components can be overemphasized [7][8][9]. This led to the emergence of light-weight aluminium (Al) based composites, an advanced material posing improved physical and mechanical properties such as enhanced strength-to-weight ratio, better stiffness, improved elevated temperature properties, superior resistance to abrasion and corrosion, controlled damping capabilities and coefficient of thermal expansion, control of mass (mainly in reciprocating parts), improved and tailored electrical performance, etc [10][11][12].…”

Optimization of Wear Factors of Aluminium Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites Using Taguchi Method

“…In recent years, a considerable rate of demand has been observed for hybrid composites across the globe. Hybrid metal matrix composites [Hmmc] synthesized using multiple reinforcements have excellent properties which suits appli- cations in automobile and aerospace sector [1] [2] [3]. Appropriately selecting the specific matrix and reinforcements, it is practically possible to develop the tailored made composite.…”
