Abstract

This segment encompasses the tribological changes usher by the addition of various reinforcements to the aluminium metal matrix composite. Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) are being successfully tailored to achieve certain mechanical properties for specific applications. AMCs can be called as advance engineering materials with excellent properties. High hardness, high thermal conductivity, good yielding strength, strength to weight ratio, low coefficient of thermal expansion and excellent wear resistance are some of the attractive properties which AMCs possess. Applications like automobile, aerospace and several other industrial applications are being attracted towards AMCs due to its qualities. Various reinforcements are available in the market which can be added to aluminium metal to further enhance its properties. Particularly, in the field of tribology, these reinforcements have proved their worth in AMCs. To examine the effects of various reinforcements, a comprehensive study has been reported in the field of tribology for AMCs.
