Abstract

Aluminum-based hybrid metal matrix composite plays an important role in the development of the industrial and automobile sectors. Because of satisfying the demands of advanced applications, such as lightweight and strength, easy to cast and less expensive compared to conventional materials. These required properties are primarily being obtained by selecting proper matrix reinforcement phase and manufacturing methods and the properties can be further increased by using suitable heat treatment methods recommended for the specific matrix phases. This paper reviews the effect of the different casting methods and heat treatment conditions on the mechanical and tribological properties of the C355.0 alloy. out of available casting techniques, the stir casting method was identified as the best method to cast C355.0 alloy to increase the mechanical properties and microstructure further, a heat treatment process was also discussed, which govern the dispersion of reinforcements over the matrix, and affects the mechanical, tribological properties of the composite. This work may guide researchers to select appropriate casting methods for manufacturing matrix and heat treatment methods to enhance the mechanical and tribological property in order full fill the requirements in the different areas of composite developments.
