| Summary: | This paper presents a research review on fabrication processes and mechanical characterization of aluminum matrix composites (AMCs), which have found application in structural, electrical, thermal, tribological, and environmental fields. A comprehensive literature review is carried out on various types of fabrication processes, the effects of individual reinforcement and multiple reinforcements, its percentage, size, temperature, processing time, wettability, and heat treatment on the mechanical characterization of AMCs including different product applications. Various models and techniques proposed to express the mechanical characteristics of AMCs are stated here. The concluding remarks addresses the future work needed on AMCs. |
