More Information
Summary:Aluminium Metal Matrix composites (AMC) are known to be very promising light weight materials with enhanced mechanical properties which are used in various industries [1]. Aluminium metal–matrix composites reinforced with SiC and Al2O3 are used in automotive and aerospace applications due to reduction in weight and increase the engine efficiency and thereby reducing fuel consumption [2]. Replacing cast iron engine components with light-weight Al alloys requires overcoming of the poor adhesion and seizure resistance of Aluminium achieved by dispersing SiC, Al2O3 or graphite particles in aluminium, Considerable reduction in wear and friction can be achieved by the use of these reinforcement particulate [3].
