Recent Advancements in Fabrication of Metal Matrix Composites: A Systematic Review

2024 | Pallab Sarmah and Kapil Gupta
This review article provides an overview of recent advancements in the fabrication methods of Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) over the last five years. MMCs, known for their superior properties such as high strength-to-weight ratios, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, are widely used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and biomedical. The review covers both traditional and advanced fabrication techniques, including solid-state processes like powder metallurgy (PM) and liquid-state processes like stir casting and ultrasonic-assisted stir casting. It highlights the importance of precise control over reinforcement distribution and the impact of process parameters on the microstructure and properties of MMCs. Advanced methods such as friction stir processing (FSP), additive manufacturing (AM), and the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning are also discussed. The article aims to assist researchers and industry professionals in understanding the latest developments and potential applications of MMCs, emphasizing the need for further innovation and research to enhance the field's capabilities.This review article provides an overview of recent advancements in the fabrication methods of Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) over the last five years.
