Abstract

Aluminium metal matrix composites, often known as AMMCs for short, have seen a rise in their utilisation as a result of the expansion of the industrial sector. Their extraordinary mechanical and tribological qualities have piqued the curiosity of a variety of industries, including the aerospace industry, the automobile industry, and the architecture industry, amongst others. It comes to wear resistance, specific strength, and strength-to-weight ratio, AMMCs perform better than the matrix phase on its own when it is exposed to extreme temperatures rather than the matrix phase. Another benefit of AMMCs is that they have a superior specific strength. It is also worth noting that AMMCs have a greater specific strength in comparison to other materials. The stir casting method is used to manufacture AMMCs. Both B4C and SiC are used as reinforcements, whereas Al-7175 is used as the matrix material. Adding particle reinforcements comprising 0.5% B4C and 1% to 4% SiC to base matrix materials improves the mechanical and metallurgical characteristics of the basic matrix. SEM and other tribological properties are evaluated in order to improve the composition of reinforcements.
