Review of Stir Casting Techniques for Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites: Applications in Underwater Exploration Frame Fabrication

This investigation is focused on the fabrication of aluminum metal matrix composites through utilization of the stir casting methodology. The appeal of tailor-made composites to researchers lies in their easy fabrication method and the consequent improvement in material properties. Notably, aluminum alloy metal matrix composites exhibit significant relevance for applications in challenging environmental conditions, such as those encountered in space or marine environments. A review has been undertaken to explicate the fundamental aspects essential to the stir casting process. An exploration of multiple pouring methods within the stir casting framework has been conducted. The review is carried out to fabricate the material required for the frame of the remotely operated vehicle in underwater exploration.
