An Extensive Study on Aluminum Silicon Carbide Composite Focusing on Specific Mechanical Characteristics

The continuous improvement for the technologies of mobilization requires corresponding improvements to materials for a number of applications. Burkert However composite materials have been found as crucial always to integrate the mobility due reduction in weight and environmental sustainability. Metal Matrix Composites have become one of the most widely used materials in automotive industry during last decades, partially replacing conventional metallic materials to allow a better strength-to-weight ratio. At a macroscopic level, these composites are formed by the combination between metals and ceramics to increase mechanical and tribological performance, while reducing weight without decreasing strength. The Aluminium metal, used extensively in automotive applications is being replaced by Aluminium matrix composite.
