Casting of particle reinforced metal matrix composite by liquid state fabrication method: A review

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characterization of Metal Matrix Composite (MMC), using liquid state fabrication technique. The paper also considered the latest trend of MMC. The selection of the matrix and reinforcement is an essential component in the production of outstanding composite materials. These materials are used to improve the ultimate strength, hardness, fatigue behaviours, creep quality, machinability, weldability, fracture toughness, wear resistance capacity, and other properties of the composite material. In recent years, aluminium-based metal matrix composite has emerged as a leading class of material due to the exceptional qualities it has. It has been observed, that the metal matrix composite that is produced is highly influenced by both the controlled and uncontrolled elements that are involved in the stir-casting process.
