Futuristic synthesis strategies for aluminum-based metal-matrix composites

Abstract

Composite material is a material system that combines different metallic and nonmetallic materials with different shapes, constituents, and chemical differences with separate interfaces. The prime essence of the present chapter is to provide directive information about newly developed strategies for the synthesis of aluminum metal-matrix composites (Al-MMCs) keeping the processing and mechanical aspect as a prime consideration. The evolution of the mechanical property of the Al-MMCs with different processing circumstances and strengthening mechanism is given to corelate the material response with different reinforcing elements. Accordingly, the present chapter focuses on newly developed strategies for the synthesis and processing of Al-MMCs for numerous structural applications. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
