Abstract

Abstract: Present study emphasizes the recent developments in aluminium metal matrix hybrid composites which is used widely in aerospace and automobile engineering due to low wear rate, low thermal expansion, high hardness and strength properties. Present review paper discuss over mechanical as well as tribological properties of Al-B4 C composites fabricated through stir casting route. Aluminium metal matrix composites (AMMCs) are establishing extensive thought for realistic as well as essential reasons for tribological importance. Moreover, for superior properties in AMMCs, very limited experimental data is available because of the difficulties in the homogeneous mixing of reinforcements in composite. In this study, effect of B4 C on Aluminium/aluminium alloy matrix has been reviewed and the future scope has been presented.
